"Not all corporations are great" is Marxist thought according to Stephens.

Also, Columbia’s founding preceded the founding of the United States! And Berkeley is like 150 years old! These universities were not founded in the 1990s. Does @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com not employ fact-checkers or editors anymore?

Yoo'd never guess who also works at the factory.

I wonder if my wife, a Berkeley-educated lawyer and chemist, knows she is a Maoist.

Me: Honey, are we Maoists?

Her: In what context?

Me: Looks like there was some kind of opinion piece in the New York Tim...

Her: Brett whatshisname?

Me: Yeah.

Her: **** that neocon jackass.

What is tenure for, right?

It is for indoctrinating innocent and impressionable American youths and manufacturing, factory-style, an army of militant Maoist Marxist Communist Leftist foot soldiers. Obviously.

A sort of academic excellence to which I can only aspire to, one day.

Marx famously read Appian in the original to relax. Do we need any further proof that ancient history has been bolshevised???

Professor, People’s Class of 82 Comrade here. So afraid of this nepo baby! (good God, read his Wikipedia entry if you have the stomach) Bill Buckley didn’t stop Cal and this pale (literally) knockoff won’t stop you. Keep on teachin’.

I wonder how the Stephens of the world think we raise our children. Do we raise them to be Maoists too? Or do we raise them to succeed by, more or less, conventional criteria and then use our students as revolutionary fodder?
