Nor do I understand why College campuses attract so many communists.

People who call them selves communist. Claim to be the voice of the people. Claim to be the voice of the revolution. Do you not see the bigger picture?

Do they not realize that they won't benefit from a revolution? Do they not realize that they are the very thing they claim to be against, the bourgeois? A college educated person IS THE BOURGEOIS. It's people like them that will have everything stripped from them and given to the proletariat. It's people like them who had strong voices for the revolution who are lined up out back and shot by commissar Joe bob, the true proletariat. It's people like them who are the enemies of the state and will be treated as such.

It boggles my mind how they can call them self revolutionaries and freedom fighters but not realize that if a red revolution were to take place, they would be the target of the proletariat. How can they be so blind? How can they not see the evidence present from the Soviet Union, from the People's Republic of China, from Vietnam, and from Cambodia?

If they're lucky, they'll have their wealth distributed. If they aren't they'll be erased from history.

It's not them who will benefit from a Communist society, it's the farmers, it's the mechanics, it's the blue collared workers. Not the rich, snobby, 'educated' college class.

LolCommunism

I will never understand why people support a failed system.

I've never run into a "college communist " in any of the college campuses I've been to.

You sure this isn't more "colleges are liberal indoctrination camps" propaganda?

I've had one confirmed Communist professor. As for students, I've never encountered a 'communist' student.

But they do exist. And they preach bloody murder.

Modern day capitalism is a failed system. You'll never understand because you're part of a failed system.

But it's not, because it is not the end goal. It's simply the best way of eventually reaching a post-scarcity gift economy.

Ok and I've had a tea party college professor for poli-sci that failed everyone that didn't interpret the constitution the same way he did and had us come up with a plan to assassinate Obama.

You don't see me going around making long winded blog threads about the evils of conservatism that infect our college campuses.

Are you freaking serious?

Dear god, that's bad.

Yeah he was interrogated by the police and then complained to our class about how some "pussy" couldn't handle his class.

He was "let go" when the semester ended.

And I thought my Poli Sci professor who gave me a shit grade because she didn't like my "attitude" and that I wasn't joining the Fearmongering over Iran Club was bad....

What if I told you.. College was an intended tool to destroy freedom!?  *Conspiracy!* o_0

Conspiracy indeed.

You've never been to any SoCal colleges or heard of them apparently. "College communists" down here are a dime a dozen. It seems like its the cool thing to be a communist moron when you're young, until you grow up and realize how stupid it is to be and support communism.

Also I don't see how any of it is propaganda, it's a well known fact how liberally biased colleges and universities are. To find any true neutral campuses or professors is nearly unheard of.

This is all assuming that Communism has anything to do with liberalism, which it doesn't. Communism in practice is pretty much Fascism, which is a far-rightist movement. The only difference between Communism and Fascism is economics, but they're identical in social policies.

The mistake you're making is thinking that those contemporary "college communists" are looking for another red revolution. There's an actual communist political party in the country and several of my friends (who are in or just out of college) are such communists, and none of them would want another communist revolution. They support its ideals and want to make some of them more of a part of our society and political landscape, but you're wrong in thinking that they'd support another stalinist revolution and regime.

Flee's right.
Even the formerly staunchly Marxist CPUSA has slashed the terms Marxism and Leninism from it's party lines and aims for 21st century socialism as of last year.

Fascism is not a "far rightist" movement.

It's nationalist and reactionary, which both tend to be associated with the right-wing. It's also authoritarian which is more commonly associated with the right.

Those things aren't inextricably connected to right politics though.  Fascism stemmed from progressivism.
