You could address the second part of the point. It can't be that all-consuming considering the diversity of opinions held by alums.

Diverse huh?

If they're considered "diverse", then we should never hear from a liberals about diversity ever again.

And NE is liberal, but it's in kind of a stuffy way. It's not West Coast free-spirit liberal.

Their only difference is social......and even then, barely.

“Communism cannot be separated from oppression; in fact, it depends upon it,” she writes.

One would think that the idea that Russia's brutal Communist state was simply the “illegitimate child” of Marxism would be dead, considering the track record of the regimes that followed. But ideas die hard—unless you’ve endured and suffered from their consequences.

you mean the alums who had to comport themselves like the French Resistance while on campus?

You mean like the CRs hosting debates and conservatives publishing their own papers and having their own conservative student unions? Like that?

How about the diversity of opinions held by the faculty?

Addressed. It's not really there. But they comport themselves as professionals.

If she were going to an SEC school like Ole Miss UGA bama ect id agree but not a socialist utopia like Harvard

Problem the left has when it comes to Communism is that while they are aware all of these leaders ended up killing tons of people they don't comprehend why

I think your average leftist believes that Stalin just liked killing people he disagreed with. Same for Castro mao etcetera etcetera

But that's not correct. Communist end up killing their citizens because communists can't let citizens leave. Communist can't let citizen the deviate from communism

In the United States if a couple of thousand people want to go set up a commune and live that way nobody is going to stop them. At worst we will Point and laugh

In a communist Nation 2000 people can't decide they're just going to grow their own shite and sell it for a profit. If the government owned Farms are failing to produce apples an enterprising Young fella can't grow apples and sell them. Or if the government is just producing really shity apples an enterprising Young fella can't provide better ones

As such communism requires agreement or death or at best imprisonment.

And you don't really have to work hard to see the thought process even in Western communists. Listen to any of them talk and they are basically going to tell you that dissent cannot be tolerated.

So many communists today think that things would be different if they were in charge but they can't be different. Massive imprisonment and death under a communist regime isn't a bug it's a feature

China is no longer communist

---

While the Chinese Communist Party has adopted some aspects of capitalism, China remains a textbook communist country: The Party controls all land and the “Commanding Heights of the Economy“; it maintains strict controls on speech, assembly, and belief; and the Chinese regime’s political structure is that of a classic Leninist dictatorship.

But okay, they're not really communist

Well I'm sure that most professors in the Soviet Union were professional also. It's that pesky elimination or refusal to hire professors that think differently that's the problem

I mean how hard is it to behave professionally when you have no competing ideas other than the few coming from the students who are Reliant upon you for their grades

If you go to a school for 4 years and never hear opposing opinions except as framed by the people who opposed them that really isn't a professional environment

And we already know from recent experience that any attempts to bring in someone to articulate opposing opinions from that opposing opinions perspective are met with damn near violence
