Campus Reform ^ | June 30, 2017 | Neetu Chandak

Marxist professors, including some of recent notoriety, are preparing for the upcoming “Socialism 2017” conference, where they will strategize to “build the left” and “fight the right.”

More than 1,500 professors, students, and left-wing activists from around the country are expected to gather in Chicago from July 6-9 in hopes of “fighting injustice and oppression” while resisting the “political system that spawned Trump.”

Recommend they go to the Southside to experience the results of their policy preferences. Hilarious the people quoted in the article espouses the same Leftist platitudes going back to Marx himself.

We need to notify the local Muslims that most of these professors are infidels who blaspheme their prophet.

Hold the conference in Venezuela.

They can see how their dreams play out in reality.

Two questions: Will there be enough room for all the Marxist professors? And, why didn’t they have this conference in Havana or Venezuela to see their handiwork in action?

Ironic they’re free to gather here.

Are they holding their conference in Caracas? It’s the only logical place to hold it in 2017 — go to one of the most successful socialist paradises on earth.

In Chicago...staying in hotels built by capitalist enterprises; taking taxis owned by capitalist operators; flying in on airplanes built by publicly traded corporations owned by shareholders; transportation fueled by evil fossil fuels produced by capitalism; eating food grown by entrepreneurs and big business; bugs on the crops killed by capitalist companies; clothes on their backs and shoes on their feet produced by private and publicly traded enterprises, not state-owned enterprises.

The irony is too, too rich. But not one of the attendees will admit it.

Chicago. Home of Al Capone.
Perfect place for this.

Professor Paul Le Blanc...responded to Lamb’s argument by contending that North Korea and Venezuela are not true models of socialism because they are subject to elitist rule, and thus are not an accurate indication of what socialism would look like in the USA.

Of course not. The right people aren't in charge. The good Professor is regurgitating a century-old fairy tale with no apparent sense of irony, doubly ironic because after all, who is more elitist than a university professor to begin with?

"From each according to his ability to each according to his need" is the formula for slavery, nothing more. After the bloodiest century in human history you'd figure even Professor Le Blanc might figure the whole thing out instead of delving ever deeper into fantasy land. Give the bugger a shovel and see what he can produce. We already know what he thinks he needs.

You could wipe out 1,500, but they are like roaches. Not even nuclear holocaust will wipe them out.

We must insist on an investigation to determine if Russian communists have infiltrated our universities and influenced our education system.

“resisting the ‘political system that spawned Trump.’”

I.e., resisting the US Constitution and the American electorate.

Apparently Karl Marx is the one Dead White European Male exempted from the Left’s current cultural genocide campaign. Though I imagine Charles Darwin is another.

The only reason socialism hasn't worked in Venezuela is that they did it wrong and had the wrong people in charge.

Ask any socialist, if you don't believe me.

The wacky professors could always try some socialist/communist utopian locale such as Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea. Why do they torment themselves when utopia is just a flight away
