How Millennial Marxists Are Made

Share this article

Communism is winning the battle of ideas in the dream world of academia that it could never win in the real world. “Aside from economics departments, capitalism is treated with disdain by the rest of the social sciences,” Marian L. Tupy writes in the Human Progress blog. “Much of the humanities have degenerated into post-modern mumbo-jumbo.”

“Newspapers, television and Hollywood are often run by people who cannot tell the difference between McCarthyism and the Gulag. Also, spare a thought for the kids in primary and secondary schools, whose education, such as it is, focuses on the real (as well as imagined) sins of America, while largely ignoring the bestial nature of America’s Cold War opponent. How else can we explain that ‘one-third of Millennials believeā€¦ [that] more people were killed under George W. Bush than under Joseph Stalin’?”
