Was this a class on national socialism?
No. Close though! LOL
It was a class called "Our Global Future - Values for Survival". The most simple way to describe the class would be a "interdisciplinary study"; i.e., whole bunch of eco-wacko, hyper-greenies spending 6 weeks telling you "we're doomed!". The next six weeks telling you how the "Western Worldview" makes it inevetible that we're doomed. The final six weeks telling us how wonderful it will be when we are living like pre-industrial age orientals or native - americans --at one with our envirnonment.
You can get an idea of what these freaks are all about here:
