Outside of murdering 183 million people in the 20th century and one of them launching Obama’s political career from his living room what did I miss ? |
Communism is the Holodomor and Stalin’s terror. It’s blue-capped NKVD thugs knocking on your door to “disappear” you in the middle of the night. Communism is Andrei Vyshinksiy’s “court” and the GULAG. Communism is Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Communism is the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Communism is North Korea. Communism is state robbery, famine, repression and democide. It is an idea that has killed over 100 million people since the Russian revolution. Communism is arguably the single worst idea in human history, one that has led to untold misery for all that live under its boot. A good test for whether or not a system is reasonable and decent to live under is whether or not you are allowed to leave. Communism is the Berlin Wall, the DMZ in the Korean peninsula, tens of thousands of Cubans risking the shark-infested waters on homemade rafts to make it to Miami and a chance at freedom. Communism is certainly a system to be feared, and to be resisted at any cost. |
Communism only killed 100,000,000 people, not 183,000,000. |

Why hasn't the FBI shut these down? |
Yes, communism is those things. But what it is not is the American university system. |
Unless you are in the social sciences of which roughly 17.6% of faculty indicate they are Marxists.
|
Furthermore, you can’t do modern critical theory or what is called “cultural studies” without being sympathetic to Adorno, Horkheimer, and Foucault. So, no, most English professors will not tell you they’re Marxists, but their intellectual lives and often their scholarship are deeply committed to a “critique” of capitalism. |

Central planning has worked well in every country that has tried it. It's a corruption-free system unlike capitalism. |
I know you're joking, but for those who think this person is serious, the levels of corruption in the USSR was famous, and we continue to this day to hear the incredible sums people are collecting in corruption in the PRC. The one story that comes to mind is the guy who took in 100 million in bribes in China got caught and said, yeah but I only got to keep so little, I had to pay it all upwards. |
None of this has anything remotely to do with post-secondary education in America. |
+1. They complain to the university staff that it's discrimination - they don't mention that they are being paid on behalf of the CCP to complain. |
This is just not true. The presence of Chinese students in class does not alter the curriculum. Anyway, most Chinese students are not taking classes in which those subjects are brought up. They are studying business and STEM. |
Oh, well that changes everything |
Nonsense. Many STEM curricula are part of liberal arts and sciences.....they require classes in the arts, which include things like history. |
