Sounds like you do not know that marxist ideas began appearing in colleges in the late 70s, and have been multiplying to this day.

Today, on those campuses where free speech is most under attack, professors and students plainly state that they are marxists.

Most people are still unware of any of this.


Another example is BLM founder Patrisse Cullors stating "We are Marxists", in this 36 second video


Did Armitage 72's sources inform him that Patrisse Cullors said "We are Marxists"??

Absolute total ignorance. The GOP has been claiming this since the 1920s. And clearly you have forgotten Tailgunner Joe who made similar claims in the 1950s. He basically accused everyone he didnt care for to be a Marxist.

But yes, I was taught Marx in college. I also was taught Adam Smith and FDR's New Deal and John Maynard Keynes

A degree in Economics or Political Science would be incomplete without learning about Marx. And the fact is some of what Marx wrote was very right and some of it was very wrong.

Hilarious!!! Bubba hasn't heard of the McCarthy period where right wingers hunted down communists in USA universities.

In 1953, the search for Communists extended to Harvard. The University, acting on a long tradition of academic freedom, held firm against the general craze to find subversive scapegoats and against the particular abuses of Senator McCarthy. V

Perhaps Bubba is also forgetting why actors like Humphrey Bogart were black banned by right wingers in the 1950s. :p

The GOP called FDR a " Marxist" for his New Deal policies.

Thats not it. In your day, were there avowed marxist professors indoctrinating students?

They are indoctrinating kids just out of high school.

Sounds crazy, right?


The trailer for No Safe Spaces is just 3 minutes long.
 
You know who else hunted down Marxists?

Hitler.

Let's see a show of hands of everyone here who went to university and didn't come out a Marxist. I'll go first.



What right wingers call 'indoctrination' others call "a broad education".

ROFLMAO

My professors weren't Marxists. I don't need to watch some moron with an agenda claiming they were. My Macroeconomics professor worked on Wall Street for a dozen years. My accounting professor was a partner at a Big Eight accounting firm. One of my history professors served in the maines for a dozen years.

Also, being open to trade unions, minimum wage, Social Security, progressive income taxes Universal Health Insurance, the UBI or the need for a social safety net doesn't make one a Marxist.

Or does it in your mind?

Is it indoctrination when I was taught both Karl Marx and Adam Smith?

Hell, if anything, my economics professor was a free market fanatic. But he still taught us about Karl Marx and Communism as well as other economics theories.

Nope. It was called "education". I don't know why right wingers are so afraid of being exposed to ideas different from theirs. Insecurity?

ETA: To be fair, I find that the more extreme/on the fringe in either direction someone is...left or right...the less open to others' views or ideas they are.

My thesis advisor was a radical feminist, poet-in-residence and even she wasn't a Marxist.

"I like my stuff," she said out loud.

Ah yes, the hordes of wannabe Stalins that exist only in your head.

OTOH the "peaceful" thugs and murderers Trump didn't disavow will erupt with a vengeance whine and whimper when they lose their dreams of controlling us via a right-wing religious state.

So, Bubba....what university were you indoctrinated at? Trump U?

I'm guessing, from the frequency of his cites to it, YouTube U. Which makes it kind of ironic that he's accusing people* who spent years in college learning stuff in detail of being indoctrinated, when he keeps offering slanted YouBoob videos that are like five minutes long which are definitely not lame little snippets of attempted indoctrination.

*Not including me. Graduated high school 1975 (go Commodores), never went to college. So I guess at least I escaped all that long-haired CommieLib brainwashing stuff. Well, maybe not the "long-haired" part- that just kind of went with the mid-70's territory.
 
Again Bubba, like I asked in another thread that you ran away from decided not to answer, even if they are Marxists, so what? Why is that so terrible and dangerous?

Better still, Bubba might offer his own definitions of Marxist and Marxisms, because he keeps using those words . . .

It's just a label that he flings. I'd bet if he couldn't look it up he would have no idea what the name of Marx's Economics treatise waa called let alone any of the details in it.
 
Even without the Senate, what Biden has a lot going for him:

- loyal, highly motivated and very qualified staff
- a Congress eager to pass pretty much anything, after the total blockade of Mitch for nearly a decade
- a long list of problems the 45 presidency brought to light

He also knows pretty much personally all the GOP Senators and was well liked.
