Socialism versus Capitalism, solved

As a democracy becomes larger and more complex voters rely increasingly on experts to figure out what is in their interest and for every expert there are 10 lobbyists posing as experts. As such there are limits to what can be decided "collectively" before corruption sets in, there is no fruit loop utopian vision that can simply wish away corruption and enable everything to be managed perfectly.

Thus it makes sense for socialists to think like capitalists, to recognise the limits of democracy and not overextend the limited administrative capital of voters, this would probably result in some kind of direct democratic system and strong local government taking care of welfare and public safety with otherwise unfettered capitalism everywhere else.

I'm sorry.  You're right, it was awfully pedantic of me to press that particular issue.  All the same, what areas of schooling would benefit from a lack of rote memorization?  I am a product of such a thing as your "rote learning schooling" and, therefore, such a concept such as bringing more critical thinking into the classes room confuses me slightly.  Or are you advocating specific lesson planning, a curriculum, if you will, of topics nurturing critical thinking practices in general, much like how Catholic elementary schools have their own Religion course?

On a less serious note, and I apologize in advance for ducking into it, if your argument involves formulating better word problems in Math, I would definitely approve of that.
