Academia is insulated from the real world. Let's face it. universities revolve around problem solving based upon theory, not fact.

Fact: Communist forms of government do nothing but to stifle growth, health, and wealth of the masses while a select few reap the rewards and lush lifestyles of an Utopian oligarchy that feeds off the backs of the poor.

Look at the professors positions, salaries, power, etc. compared to that of the young student. A great similarity exists between the 2 social structures.

This is the reason party hacks, who could never hope to achieve ANY measure of wealth on their own, all naturally become Communists...the Clintons are a prime example.

Yep, their models and solutions are based on the unrealistic assumptions of perfect rationality and consistent human behavior.
