A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Not really a source just a bunch of numbers. I don't have any confidence that however these numbers are gathered isn't done the same way as test scores.
There's the small matter of the fact that there is no evidence that will satisfy you, because you're not actually open to having your opinion changed
Your lack of punctuation also makes me inclined to believe that you're one of the people at the lower end of the literacy curve, so I doubt you're worth engaging with
I don't really have an opinion. I don't know where the numbers are actually at. I just understand how easy it is to lie with statistics. The U.S. is low on the list in test scores because it actually educates all children until adulthood. Europe's are higher because they don't let students who don't score well on tests take them.
Also my grammar is fine fuck you.
Europe stops kids from taking tests?
All of "Europe"?
Like it's one, monolithic, place?
You're an idiot. One with poor punctuation and grammar too.
