That’s not what learning economics is like. Unless you live in a dictatorship I guess.
Economics gives you knowledge and tools, it does not prescribe political or lobby-run ideologies.
It explains them, for the political stances at the very least, such that an economist is equipped with the tools to understand those stances and what an economic agent would choose as part of their decision process following those schools of thought.
But it does not force anything on anyone.
I studied in Europe though, maybe that’s too foreign a thought for you.
Edit: Just so you don’t confuse my description of what is taught for the entirety of what is taught. Political science was only broached upon in the tiniest of ways. It also was part of the game theory courses mostly (where decision making and prediction based on logic and outcomes is the entire point).

Europe is a dictatorship of the owning class, so, according to your logic, Albert is right.
