It is obvious what I meant by the term, and it is a standard usage of it. The point still stands. You are merely trying to put word in my mouth. Again, it is a standard line of attack. You just do not realize how you have been indoctrinated. You may not be a Marxism but you have given youself over to their rhetorical practices without you even realizing it. That is just my point about the dominace of the left in academia. You cannot fight them on their own term because their posture denies that the individual is a free agaent in the world and a builder of civilization. If you attack them with their same rhetoric you will lose. It has to be taken into a broader framework, and that framework is society at large.

Good for you. Not many traditional college students would have the balls to do that.

My understanding of your point is that your view of the individual (a view which I happen to share) is better than the view typically held by Marxists (a point on which I also agree), but that when you inculcate that view through the education process, you are not presenting an ideology that you are attempting to have the students believe, and that sometimes we do so by attempting to restrict their access to other ideologies (and that's where we disagree: I think that we are presenting an ideology and that we do and should restrict other ideologies from being presented in the education process).

This Marxist should stop being so hypocritical and live up to his anti-capitalist principles in a socialist or communist country.

I am not advocating restricting access. I am advocatin gbreaking the hammer-hold the the far left has on academia, parictularly in regards to free expression, appointments and tenure. I think that we do not differ than much.

Would you agree with me if I said your notion of value is Hegelian, spiced with an urge for immanence? It seems to me that your view of education values forums where people get their heads butted in order to achieve what you deem to be an improvement to the status quo.
