Socialists have started winning because young voters were indoctrinated rather than educated.

The terms of the controversy over higher education hardly changed for three or four decades. Conservatives complained of political activism freezing out serious scholarship. Liberals rejected that criticism as politically motivated and argued that Marxist professors do little harm because students see through and laugh at their ideas. But the recent spate of electoral wins by socialists has confirmed the conservative camp’s worst fears. Those ineffective Marxist professors, it seems, have changed the educated electorate so profoundly that hitherto unelectable socialists can now prevail across the country.
Liberals are paying the price for their complacency. Radicals have begun to attack the center-left as intensely as the right, trashing the legacy of Western civilization on which both major parties previously rested. The values they invoke to denounce the West—democracy, equality, human rights—are very much part of that tradition. These aren’t the well-meaning youthful idealists they were claimed to be, but hard-core revolutionaries who go beyond calling for abolition of capitalism and private property and advocate measures that even Stalin and Mao would have thought lunacy: abolishing police and prisons, dismantling the military, opening the borders. Get ready for lawless mob rule.
But as we contemplate academia’s degradation of the electorate, we must not forget the rest of the far-reaching damage it does. Education departments that instill poisonous ideologies in schoolteachers have depressed children’s test scores in reading and math to historic lows. Journalism, law and medical schools put woke indoctrination ahead of competent professional training.
Virtually our entire educational system has been captured by destructive political radicals, and it is madness for an advanced society to know this is happening and do nothing to...

The last socialist revolution was from the workers. This one is from the professionals.

“This one is from the professionals.”
How Darwinian of them.
The bastards!
Let’s hit them with their little cappuccino cups and stick their laser pointers where you can see the dot when they open their mouths.
People have been talking about this for decades.
It's psychological conditioning to have a panic attack when faced with opposition.
They have taken peaceful coexistence off the table.
and NO ONE noticed til it was too late..same with the foreign funding for all of these universities that filled young people’s minds full of dreck
This has been known for years if not decades ... Nothing changes.
The only news here is that this article was published by the Wall st journal.
If marxist ideas are so laughable, why are they being taught in universities?
I’ve been saying we need to defund the universities for a while now.
WHOA - great graphic...
Carter was a disaster - - he followed the liberal line: Carter gave away the Panama Canal, turned Iran over to insane Mullahs and destroyed American education.
Clueless democrats would elect him again because they judge people based on ‘intentions’ NOT on outcomes.
The word "Nazi" is a shortening of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, which translates in English to the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
• Full German Name: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP)
• English Translation: National Socialist German Workers' Party
• Origin of the Term: "Nazi" was created by taking the first two syllables (Na-ti-o-zi-al) of the word Nationalsozialist in German. It was also used as a colloquial or somewhat derogatory shortening in southern Germany at the time, derived partly from the short form of the personal name Ignatius.
Led by Adolf Hitler, the party ruled Germany as a totalitarian, fascist dictatorship from 1933 to 1945. Additional details about the party's history and structure can be found via the Holocaust Encyclopedia.
It's not just the presence of marxism; it's the absence or the deliberate suppression or punishment of JudeoChristian values. Some scholars have been pushed out of their graduate programs just short of earning the doctorate because they couldn't in good conscience go along with the leftist orthodoxy, particularly in areas like mental health counseling, climate sciences, etc.
It's like a guild from Medieval Europe.
You have to be a Leftist (Marxist) to join.
It's a problem because we will have a tough time replacing Alito and Thomas on the SCOTUS.
Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and ACB? Nah.
