I’m not going to dignify any of the rest of your screed with a reply. Nothing in my response indicates my level of education

Yes, I know that being confronted with facts is considered and, being the typical Leftist that you are, you need to defuse that pain by calling those facts a “screed”.

Nonetheless, to the casual observer your response may not indicate educational level, but to me the fact that you had no idea of the tradition on the Left of celebrating the Classics (hence your denigration of them as “an 11th grade education”, to which, of course, the response is “not in an NEA-run public school”) as a source of inspiration for the proletariat to rise above its blue-collar origins (it was one of the original versions of “use the master’s tools against the master” for crying out loud) indicates an education with some significant holes (not necessarily in absolute terms, but in relative terms). If you want to talk politics beyond the issues of the day and you don’t even know the basic history of your own ideology, well, why would I respect your perspective at all?
