Campus Commies: U. of Florida Honors Karl Marx with Library Study Room
breitbart ^ | 8 Mar 2022 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

The University of Florida has named a study room after Communist Manifesto author Karl Marx, who the university calls a “philosopher, radical economist, and revolutionary critic.”

Karl Marx, who the University of Florida has labeled as a “philosopher, radical economist, and revolutionary critic,” has been honored with the naming of a study room in the Library West.

Library West is part of the George A. Smathers Libraries system of the University of Florida.

Below the name of the study room is a sign which credits Marx as being the “founder of scientific socialism,” whose “reputation as a radical thinker” emerged during the rise of the socialist political parties in the 1870s and 1880s.

“The unique extent of the influence of Marx’s materialist explanation of the workings of society, economics and history, inevitably saw Marxist theory extend its influence to literary criticism,” the plaque reads.

Marx is also credited with laying the foundation for the rise of “socialist and communist movements throughout the world.”

Karl Marx Group Study Room is reportedly one of 14 spaces that students can reserve and holds the largest occupancy available.

Each study room is reportedly named after a different influential individual. Names of other study rooms include Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights activists Frederick Douglass, and authors William Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Jane Austen.

Many, however, might consider naming a room in honor of Marx to be a bizarre move, given that international communism — which has left 100 million people dead over the course of 100 years — is grounded in the late philosopher’s ideas, known as Marxism.

While the University of Florida props up Marx’s name, schools across the country are tearing down American figures, such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Revere.

“As an Alum I would support that 100%.”
May I humbly suggest that you, as an Alum, contact others and back that opinion up with action and a communication campaign? Just a thought. Actions speak louder than words. If you can begin an Alum Donor Class revolt, it may just get their attention.

Both fathers of Kamala Harris and Peter Buttigieg were hardcore Marxists.

Now you know what why both want to destroy America.

“Marx was a documented anti-semite and a wife beater.” He is much more horrible. Marx was a Jew who was possessed by Satan, wore a Satanic beard, failed math, encouraged two siblings to commit suicide, physically abused his wife and was hated by everyone. Why are his works popular? Because sometimes people reject the New Testament and then get sucked into dark forces very quickly, like the Univ. Florida. Sad. Marx ignored the middle class (doh!) and encouraged the poor to destroy the tools (capital) of the rich and that is what the Univ. Florida is doing. They guy was possessed and anyone attracted to Marx has serious spiritual flaws.

Marx’s family had converted to Christianity before he was born; he doesn’t seem to have practiced any of the rules of either Judaism or Christianity.

Disgusting but hardly a surprise for my alma mater given the commie professors and many of the commie students. We alums tend to be 180 degrees the opposite.

Marx was also a FLAMING racist. He really hated Blacks and compared them to apes and monkeys at the zoo. There are some extremely embarrassing quotes from his letters about that.

Che Guevara was a racist as well; he detested black Cubans. I remember seeing a young black woman in Chicago wearing a Che sweatshirt; I brought up Che’s past racist rants which he wrote in books. She had no idea; part of the problem with American education.

Its always great fun “introducing” Leftists to their heroes. Be it Che or Marx or Lincoln. Just bring up some of those flamingly racist quotes and hit ‘em with it. Its like a slap across the face for them. Then they have to choose between what they consider the greatest sin - racism - and their Leftist heroes.

and maybe.....just maybe....you can get them to actually start to THINK FOR THEMSELVES for the first time....as in “how come I never heard that before? What else have I not been told by my Leftist teachers?”

Dump a bucket of blood (or red paint) on the floor in front of the doorway or throw it in the door of whoever came up with this idiocy.
