AOC shared this NYT op-ed from 1970-f*ckin-4. It’s such a delight to watch as, bit by bit, supposedly “centrist” positions are exposed as rightist politics and extremist economics. For example, the assumptions that higher education should be costly, and that people should start their working lives carrying a burden of inescapable debt. Seriously, where did anyone get the idea that those things are virtuous and right? Fortunately, more and more of you will arrive at my position: what we call “student debt” is really indentured servitude, and supporting it is akin to opposing emancipation.
