Dumb take. Marxists always wanted free education, because equal opportunity is kind of our primary goal. Why the frick would Marxists be against cancelling student loans?

Free education belongs to those of means alone, comrade

It helps them too, but nowhere near to the same extent as it does those without means. Which really is the only part that matters.

Is attending college positively or negatively correlated with how wealthy you/your family is?

Positively. But how strong the correlation is going to be depends on the cost of college. Directly. You can literally see the slope change as the prices rise.

Ahh, so college debt forgiveness helps poor people in the same way that tax breaks for landlords helps people
Landlords can be poor you see, even if being a landlord is positively correlated with wealthy, depending on what kind of property they own it might be less correlated
Or maybe college debt forgiveness is an r-slurred idea, and if you want to make college free you should instead make college free (which debt forgiveness absolutely does not do, it would probably end up causing college prices to rise resulting in poor people being priced out even more)
If you want sane reform you should be for allowing bankruptcy dicharge of student debt instead which would cause college tuition prices to crash

This option is fine too. I just don't like the idea of doing nothing while nearly everyone is getting priced out of anything above non-selective admission schools.
