I find generally people tend to grasp life with a bit more comprehension and experience once they've lived a little and soaked up a few years, in the wider perspective; regardless of their political leanings
Which is what makes me chuckle when I think back on me doing exactly what you just said as a teen or a student, getting all worked up about this "unfair; unjust society" in some aspect or another, talking loudly about life in pubs as if I knew all about it, when to be honest I hadn't lived or realistically experienced life at all and was still at school
Given what i've gone through, I would have appreciated being sent to the public school to be honest, the comprehensive system is a nice idea, but you can't really learn if you are surrounded by fuckwits being brought up by fuckwits; and life is a one ticket journey
