Maybe because the course deals with the "practical application of Marxism" perhaps?


This course just further proves the point that progressives are closet marxists.
Most posters want to skip over this part. Then there are the few, whose masks are off and applaud it. Silly people who have no appreciation for a country that allows them to do this.

You mean that professor who collects a paycheck a couple of times a month?

Marxism is oftentimes used a lens of analysis. How do you think a student would implement meaningful Marxism in a semester-long class exactly? Marxism is a theory and as such a lens of analysis.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

Still not seeing the issue here.

Thanks for proving my point about ignorance.
So I take it you support teaching the practical applications of Nazism then?

Sure. I don't see why not.

Irrelevant, though, since Marxism and Nazism are two completely different things.

Yes two self avowed socialists are going to point out the millions killed by communism. After all it's not like they have a hidden agenda or anything.

Typical communist bull**** remark sweeping millions of deaths under the rug.

Ah, and here's the problem.

Confusing the ideal of marxism with the practice of "communism" (that in and of itself has never honestly been practiced as well)

Common mistake.

Fascism is the same thing as socialism. "The road to serfdom" an excellent book clearly explains why. Progressives also have a lot more in common with fascists and socialists then they do with classical liberalism.

Ahh, let the communists have the country.that is what most people think because they are so blind. they are taking over each day so what the heck.. the Constitution is about dead . The handouts win because the lazy creeps suck the life out of America. No one wants to work for a strong tax base to keep the country strong... no, we are sitting ducks now.
If it wasn't for the rich of this nation , no one would get any handouts. Yet they bite the hand that feeds it.. the rich will leave. You can bet on that.

No longer the strong because the people are weak and lazy just as other civilizations fell years ago, so will America if it stays on this path and of course many don't even know. China is holding the mortgage on America and no one cares. Fight for your party and your president and your handouts.

We can always move to another country as this one is about done. That will be the mindset of the wealthy .. I have heard talk...

World War III is around the corner and the debt will never be paid off . Globalism is a short time away . Most people don't realize what America was so they have no idea what it is now..

Many left Germany when it all went to hell. The rich have that option.. the poor will suffer.
