Marxist group disbands because members were too rich, white
Campus Reform ^ | July 26, 2017 | Matthew Stein

A Marxist student group at Swarthmore College disbanded itself earlier this year after realizing that its members were too rich and too white to be real commies.

According to screenshots confidentially provided to Campus Reform by an individual with access to the group’s private Facebook page, the demise of the Swarthmore Anti-Capitalist Collective (SACC) came in the wake of a farewell letter from a member who had decided the group could never be an effective proponent of “unproblematized anticapitalist politics” due to its “history of abuse, racism, and even classism.”

What’s even funnier is that they use words like “unproblematized”.

Lenin was a wealthy enough fellow, his dad was a substantial landowner, a member of the local gentry, attained through his own efforts, daddy Ulyanov was a self-made man. Russia had quite a lot of social mobility in the late 19th-early 20th century.

Sorry Chip and Buffy, you are just not “down for yo peeps in da screet.”

But if you want to redistribute all of your ill-gotten wealth derived from your Southern Plantation heritage, we would gladly spend it up for you.

I will never forget my first day at college (many years ago...).

I walked up to a stranger in the dorm, smiled, shook his hand, and told him my name.

He gave me a steely-eyed stare and said: “I am a Marxist.”

Needless to say I never talked to that psycho again.
