“Just because they passed a resolution doesn’t make it any less right than the majority of the people voting to steal your property.”

As both a Georgetown alumnus and the grandson of a refugee from the USSR, I am particularly sensitive to this topic. My grandfather’s father had all of his property (except for his home) stolen by the Communists (no vote required or requested); years later, when he was 73 and suffering from cancer, he had no money with which to buy food (and lived in the Ukraine, where there was an engineered famine in progress), so he rented out 3/4 of the house...and someone wasn’t happy with that, so the NKVD dragged him away and he was beaten nearly to death; the next year, for no apparent reason other than “because,” they dragged him away again, and this time beat him so badly that he died - IOW, they murdered him. So I have not the slightest degree of sympathy in my body or mind for Communism or any of its sister Leftist/collectivist ideologies; quite the opposite - I have a burning, white-hot hatred for it.

Perhaps because I am Jewish, I was immune from the poisonous influence of the Jesuits who teach there and run the place - my observations then and now are that they are largely out of touch with reality, insulated by their place in the Church and in an educational institution, and without family. They may be good Catholics (and I’ll leave that up to Catholics to judge), but they are very poor at learning and imparting the lessons of History, and the idiocy and Leftist bent of the current student body as represented by its Senate is a reflection of that.
