Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is the experience of countless generations, accumulated over thousands of years of history and prehistory. Experience accumulated by humanity as a whole by scraps and preserved often at a great cost.

The more knowledge people have, the better they understand how the world and society work, the more independent they are in making decisions.
The better they can see injustice and the danger it represents to the environment they live in - to all of society.
The more dangerous they are for criminals and parasites who would use them for their own ends.

This is why access to knowledge has always been restricted by the authorities in past and present states With the possible exception of the USSR, where access to education was more egalitarian in nature, but, to be fair, there was still a great deal of «elite» privileged schools and universities, etc., from the feudal system to modern commercial education, copyright and patent legislation. The social battles of the XX century has partially destroyed old barriers, and the emergence of information technology made knowledge accessible to more people than ever before.

But for the ruling minority knowledge is first and foremost a tool to preserve their power. They are interested in maintaining inequality in access to knowledge. Otherwise, they would not be able to deceive the majority anymore and preserve their right to distribute our common resources in their favor.

This is why we must assist the destruction of this unstable and unjust equilibrium.
