I wouldn't really describe corrupt officials and lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations as "politically illiterate"?

They're kind of the ones who run the world. Sometimes they're illiterate, and somethings they're Machiavellian freaks.

I think he is not saying that they themselves are politically illiterate but that they are enabled by political illiteracy. This ignorance is what prevents society from freeing itself from those abominations.

Oh. I guess I'm illiterate. I read it as saying that being politically illiterate leads to becoming those things, not that it causes them.

Well, as long as it's not policial illiteracy, it's not the worst ;)
