Should communist/Marxist orgs be banned in Universities?

[My Spot]

No. Let them have their 15 minutes.
I'd usually just laugh at them since they were probably going into debt while majoring in some worthless liberal arts nonsense.

 

[Rational Poster]

The universities took the SJW, the universities die by the SJW.

Build up new institutions and make them SJW proof, with rules that kick them out ruthlessly whenever they rise their ugly heads. It can be done and it has been done.

Here! Here!

Down with equality!

A little group isn't going to change the constitution. For the constitution to be changed two-thirds of the House and Senate must approve the proposal, and then three-fourths of the states must also back it.

Good for your country you have smart people I cant say the same for my own right now

 

[ncordless]

Yes!!! Specialy from ideologies that does not promote fredom,democracy and fre speechm

If you have to protect the freedoms of speech and assembly from from people exercising them, then what are you protecting?

 

[ShinkanPo]

You're sounding very disjointed here and I'm not exactly sure what it is that you're trying to state. You're an idealist and a partial-socialist, but other people shouldn't be allowed to have ideals which differ from yours because of some kind of supposed instability to your country?

I mean I can recognize the allure of socialism and how it could work in a near perfect world.

Its just my country is far from being perfect right now lets just say these communists are overtly selling us to the chinese and the people are okay with that because of all the false naratives they have been fed by the schools and to some extent the brain dead TV networks.


Thanks for participating in the discussion BTW.

A university should be a safe haven of all opinions, perspectives and beliefs. Barring groups or people from participating because you don't find their ideas or views palatable sets a dangerous precedent and robs students of what is a pillar of the university experience (living and working with people who don't always agree with you)

I want to live in a world where the White Pride/Nazi association exists in parallel to the Jewish Association and Black Lives Matter. Everybody deserves a voice, whether I agree with it or not.

Spoken like someone who has probably never been on a college campus in his life. Fucking lol.

My BS in electrical engineering says otherwise. But nice try

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Freedom of speech, and religion, and assemby does not include political affiliation now does it?

And does democracy and capitalism always go hand in hand?

Then you should know just how stupid is is to insinuate that a bunch of communists are persecuting people for being capitalists on university campuses. Like, full retard stupid.

Didn't say communists were. I'm saying there is definitely a vocal majority who shoot down any notion that there is indeed a path upwards for people born into less than favorable economic families in a capitalistic environment like we have now

And again, you sound like someone who has no earthly idea what goes on on a college campus.

No, there is no roaming SJW boogeyman. No, there is no shortage of "adult discussion". Stop listening to Atheist.

Apparently you haven't been to Michigan. Sociology lecture was exactly as I described

Oh dear, a sociology lecture is indicative not only of that entire college, but universities as a whole?

A class required for 40% of students (or at least the engineers, don't know the class structure of other disciplines) that teaches us all to think that it is impossible for people to rise to middle class without substantial financial support handouts doesn't have the blessing of the university as a whole behind it?

 

[Strange Shadows]

lmao

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Going by that logic, you would have to ban more than just communists. With the right approach, any given thing can be turned into a national security issue, which could potentially result in uncontrolled ban rampages that suit the best interests of those in power.

Of course.

EVERY single tyrant excuses their totalitarianism by citing "national security" concerns. Hitler's rounding up of Jews was also a national security issue seeing as how Jews had a big presence both among international bankers AND communists- both of which were destroying Germany.

(There's a sliver of truth to both of these things, by the way. Even the most vulgar and disgusting propaganda has some elements of truth.)

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

If we want to make censorship an acceptable thing in America.

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

Communism would ban all other teachings. The reason they often can dominate is because they adhere to a different "morality" and tactics of war than often practiced in the west.

 

[MicroBrew]

That's a bit like asking should rightwing or capitalist orgs be banned in colleges/Universities. There are democratically elected Communist governments, rare as they are ; so it isn't necessarily an anti-democratic ideology. There were/are rightwing and capitalist governments in Latin America and the MidEast that are dictatorial but we don't say a rightwing or capitalist ideology is dictatorial.

 

[nostradumbass]

The problem isn't that any of these groups exist, it's that the SJW groups are intolerant of anyone else's view and give their best effort to stifle anyone with an opposing view. No need to ban the groups, but banning certain behavior like stealing the microphones of speakers, blocking and threatening people attending speaking events, would lead to more conversation and debates, and their ideas would be weeded out that way.
