Education
Geniuses from poor families were taken and put into government run boarding schools. They were only fed certain information and educated to be an expert in a specific field. Selecting things not to teach the children often grew up to become weak (from bullying), dependent on the state (because they were taken away from families) and unable to think for themselves.

Rich families (lobbyists & landowners) who could afford to put their children into private schooling often did, children that were specially selected to join the PLP were taken into government run schools to be taught how to rule in specific fields, the rest are given the chance of going to university in hopes of being able to join the higher ranks of society. Parents are not allowed to pay for education as it goes against the 'capitalist' principles of university, the children must go into debt to the state for the chance of living a rich life. After 3 years of government funded debauchery and hedonism the students are released into the normal world, brainwashed by living a party lifestyle they have to work hard in working class jobs to try and relive that lifestyle but they will never quite be paid enough. They keep working because of the memory of euphoria, eventually their jobs are taken over by robotics.

OneBox
OneBox is an entertainment device, since computers were made illegal without authorisation by the government, OneBox's were released. They always maintain a link to the department of anti terrorism. Fitted with cameras and microphones, they are programmed to begin recording once certain words are uttered; for example anarchy, revolution, future. A OneBox is free to buy but costs money to upkeep, a monthly subscription is required and if it cannot be paid then the user goes into debt with the government. OneBox's feature entertainment shows, often advertising government products, the news (since distributing non-government authorised news became illegal on anti-terrorist measures), childrens entertainment (teaching them to love the state and hate their families), interactive gaming (often war games, the best players are offered chances to join the army as fodder).
