90% of my Japanese class does not know what democracy is, when they live in a democratic country.

90% of my Japanese class does not know what capitalism is, when they live in a capitalist country.

My conclusion: obviously the government is keeping them ignorant through a lacking education to ensure that the current capitalist/democratic tendencies of my country don't change.

Yes governments suck, all they do is brainwash the youth through education into believing that democracy works. It doesn't work. It sux.

You are right.

I completely agree. I'm sick of politicians and all their crap. That sort of thing only goes toward corruption anyway.
