Two students at Columbia University are hosting a workshop later this month to encourage their peers to “redistribute our own wealth” to “marginalized people.”
“Class Privilege and Radical Redistribution” is organized by Columbia University students Amy Wang and Claire Klinger, and will feature a roundtable discussion on “learning about our obligation to redistribute our own wealth.”

Duke or Columbia University?
Read the article and didn’t see mention of Duke...
The event is at Columbia but the star attraction is a Duke prof.

As always, nothing is stopping leftists from re-distributing their own wealth. I doubt they will.
I have to admit, if you look at Libertarianism in pure form, it means no government - and as much as we’re not crazy about government, I have a really tough time figuring out who a society can exist without it - and I certainly cannot think of any examples of such.
In my younger days, I had debates with Libertarians. I asked them how do you build highways withing the government having eminent domain. They said that you have to negotiate with each landowner, and if someone won’t sell, you have to give up or figure out a way around them. And that would be just great, a highway between 2 cities 100 miles apart would have to be 400 miles, due to holdouts.
Do the redistribution of earned grades from the high test scores to help poorer students pass the exam and see if they get it.
You earned an “A” but we are giving you a “C” to help these failing students get a “C” too.
And by the way, hope you don’t mind that the failing med student who you helped pass will be performing the surgery on you!!!
Oops posted from wrong article:
A Duke University history professor recently suggested that many of the conservative and libertarian subjects of her book “seem to be on the autism spectrum.”
Nancy MacLean, author of the controversial book Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, made the comments during a February 7 lecture at the New York City Unitarian Church of All Souls, where she was slated to discuss “the roots and agenda of the radical right.”.
“Everyone who disagrees with me is either a Nazi, or crazy, or both.”
Wonder if their “ round table discussion” will include Bible quotes on personal charitable giving?
Progressive Academics are on the psychopathic spectrum. Deep inside all of these people want to kill millions of Americans for being bourgeois.
The game of sweeping generalizations is so much fun!
Libertarianism is a mental illness, but don’t you dare call gender derangement syndrome a mental illness.

Read the excellent negative reviews of her book on Amazon.
Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America Hardcover – June 13, 2017
by Nancy MacLean
“MacLean’s book is, in the words of Duke political scientist Mike Munger, a work of “speculative historical fiction.” Quotes are mangled and chopped to convey a meaning precisely the opposite meant by the authors, articles are misunderstood, arguments are distorted beyond recognition, and she is unable to understand the intellectual project of Buchanan and public choice theory. She also offers reports on people and events that are contradicted by those involved and publicly available facts. The result is a fun story, but one that bears little resemblance to the truth......”
Denied by whom? In a free country individuals who are productive are free to gain what they need by earning them. Also in a free country wealth is created not taken by some from others.
Duke University history professor Nancy MacLean seems to be on the deluded fool spectrum!!!!
And the correct link for the article about her is

“I had debates”
Government of a free country is primarily about establishing order. There is no freedom in anarchy.
Watch the first scenes in “Conan the Barbarian” and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
