Education and hard work really matter. A lot. If you're intentional about where to apply them.
We need to work smarter and harder than everyone else in Capitalism, to push the world forward.
We fight for less work, and less exploitation for everyone, but we have to know we need to work harder, to study harder, to communicate better, to risk more, so that we can bootstrap everyone out of the capital.
It is important to learn how to make oneself valuable, though. To understand the rules of the game, and to game it, where possible. To learn to be valuable, and to use that value and negotiate from a position of power.
It you're in a position to comfortably go to a university, go for it. If you're not, it's not an excuse to ever stop studying, or working hard. To find ways to apply our skills and knowledge to the benefit of the working class.
That's the burden we carry.
