As a demagogue, you may not like the free exchange of ideas and information, or analysis through a lens that you don't approve of, but thats too bad, because there are many more perspectives than yours.
Your arguments have all been about your feelings regarding the subject matter, not an understanding of the subject matter itself. We get it, you don't think anyone should learn anything about Marxism. Too bad that's not a valid reason for this curriculum not to be taught. Not even remotely so.
Excellent post!

As I have stated before several times if you discuss it truthfully and show what happens when its applied in the real world then I have no problem talking about it. Unfortunately the professors and there ilk are all about hiding behind education to push there agenda.



Yes because brainwashing is worthy of higher education.
Spoken like a true demagogue. The opposing viewpoint is "brainwashing".

Why aren't you bi***ing about all of the indoctrination that occurs before college? By the time kids are out of high school they've been turned into good little consumers bowing down at the altar of Capitalism. Before a kid can walk they probably know if they're a Pepsi™ or a Coke™ person. They don't go to ballparks with the family anymore, they go to Corporate Billboards with seats.
And you're complaining about indoctrination?
Are you insisting that every economics/business class focus on the failures of capitalism? Of course you aren't, because you've been indoctrinated too, and you're an enthusiastic demagogue trying to push your agenda.

Way to not answer the question!

Until you take the class, you have no idea how open the discourse will be within the classroom. Instead, you can only make bold predictions (based on your feelings) and generalizations (Again based on your feelings) and personal judgements about what knowledge is valuable and what is not (also based on your feelings)
Let's see if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck than its a duck. It would surprise me if that went completely over your head.

Besides, what do you care if the students practice real world application of these theories?
Oh WTF!

Let's see if I'm understanding you correctly. You are saying you are for violent revolutions to over throw the government since that would be practicing an application of communism.

If they're the abject failure that you guarantee them to be, they should fall flat on their face in the real world with a tremendous thud and you can laugh yourself silly.
Yes, after lots of violence, destruction, and death. I enjoy black comedy but there is nothing I find funny about that.

Until then, all we've got is your feelings, and no one care about your feelings.
Like I've stated to others on city data if you don't care what I think why do you keep responding to my posts then?

Dismantle what? You all haven't done anything besides run in circles giving bull**** excuses the whole time.

I'm sorry for not wanting people to think a 1984 situation is ideal.

Gee more anti-anticommunism from you comrade. Why am I not surprised.

You got any proof of this or are you just talking out of your ass?

Prey tell me how capitalism has failed compared to your boy Marx and his ideology? Since that is the difference between capitalism and communism that capitalism has survived rough times where as communism collapsed under its own weight...but that is something you don't want people talking about since it doesn't fit into your world view right?

Yes I should be like you seeing nothing wrong with a system that murdered millions, was inferior to capitalism, created corrupt governments, created violent revolutions, and fell apart because it couldn't work.
