ABSTRACT
This chapter states that education under capitalism is not so much about seeking knowledge as it is ideological control. In colonial and ex-colonial countries, education is “teaching” black/brown skins to wear white masks. It mentions that it is through four structures whereby the colonial rules the colonized. These are through what Derrida calls the “Force of Law” and the “Mystical Foundation of Authority”, the rule of technological reason and neuroscience, the projection of the neurotic and psychotic as ideal bourgeois and the pyramid model of imperialist domination. In order to break through this four-tiered structure, this chapter recalls Marx’s original idea of human natural science which humanizes knowledge and society.
