> No matter what Governments try to tell you, nothing is this world is free -- especially education.

Education is a net-positive investment. That's the reason many people go to university at all. That means that you also will pay more taxes and effectively finance your education in the future. Note that this is no different to government-sponsered student loans, just without the indirection of loans.

> There's a general rule in Economics that says whatever the government touches turns to shit.

No there isn't. That's a political view of some people (more in the US than probably anywhere else in the world) but that's not a hard scientific fact that you make it seem.

> In addition, you now have to combat against Socialist propaganda on a daily basis.

What if I tell you that even in "socialist" Germany there are libertarian professors teaching in universities.

> Even if you think that the higher education will be "free", it'll be completely inferior compared to free-market education

Says who? Also, even universities that are completely paid for by the tax-payer can compete against each other. In fact they do in many countries.

> It's time for humanity to learn how to solve social problems without a gun to the head.

You certainly mean the gun of decade long student loan repayments.

The idea that education is a net-positive investment is completely wrong. Could it be for certain people? Absolutely. Is it for a lot of people? Ask the English majors in the States bar-tending full-time.

Education can be a great thing for certain people. However The idea that everyone should go to college is totalitarian in ideology. You're trying to mold society to what you "think" it should be.

Publicly funded entities by definition cannot compete since the profit loss mechanism doesn't exist. Governments can try to artificially "recreate" the free-market by passing laws, but at the end of the day favoritism exists. It's akin to the mafia allowing the different family bosses to compete for cities -- ultimately there is no competition.

The decision to take on student loan debt is completely voluntarily. Comparing that to a gun to the head is ridiculous. You know what is a fair comparison though? Governments forcing their subjects to pay for other people's student loan debt.
