SAN MARCOS, Texas - A Texas State University history professor has been fired after being accused of calling for political violence after a video of him speaking at a socialism conference was posted on social media.
In a video posted on YouTube by Decode the Left, Thomas Alter criticizes the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists of America and other groups for the way they are organized during the Revolutionary Socialism Conference.
Alter then goes on to praise some anarchists, specifically those who protested Georgia’s "cop city," for going beyond "symbolic protests that do not disrupt the normal functioning of government and business." Alter then questions "what purpose do they serve" as he mentions their resistance to organizing into a larger group.
"Without organization, how can anyone expect to overthrow the most bloodthirsty, profit-driven, mad organization in the history of the world?" Alter said. "That of the United States."

Rosenberg the filth.
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”.
——Mao Zedong.
He first wrote this in 1927 during the Chinese Civil War and repeated it in his 1938 essay, Problems of War and Strategy.
Then was quoted by the Black Panthers and the college students who carried the Mao “Little Red Book” in the 1960s.
ironically, they say that killing those that express hatred is justifiable

it may have been earlier in the year. Bernie and AOC are DSA and they did several events as part of their “Fight Oligarchy” tour out west together in the spring [April?] including in Utah to rally the comnunists. I would not be surprised if this guy is a Bernie Bot like The guy who tried to kill Steve Scalia’s and others at the baseball diamond a few years back. The Salt Lake Utah DSA chapter is EXTREMELY pro Palestine.
WINNING!!
If you believe people deserve to be shot for their opinions, don’t cry when you get fired for yours.
Well said.
He DEFINITELY needs to be!
Arrest Thomas Alter!
The Left has gone one step too far.
Which is worse:
Attending a socialism conference?
Advocating political violence?
In each case one thing leads to another.
The period of time it takes each to foment into drastic action might possibly be equivalent.
THE LEFT HAS GONE MANY, MANY STEPS TOO FAR
