Actually yes. I am in an MBA program at a liberal arts college. Top 15 % in the Nation. The Graduate level writing course was Marx, Keynes, Smith (don't know how he got in there) and a bunch of contemporary philosophers who think they are Marx.
Marxism is pushed hard in college.
The sad thing, a guy at work told me there would be a bunch of new Marxists when I finished that class. I told him they were Marxists when they started. Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Fascism, are all the same. Oh they all have there own nuances, but they are the same.
You and I are doing a little of talking past each other.
My point was NOT that Liberal Arts studies do not spew Marxism.
They certainly do; and were even when I was in college in the 1960s.
What one needs to ask in your case, is why a “writing course” in an “MBA” program is chosing socialism as part of a “writing assignment”.
