Marxists in the classroom aren't a fiction

Obama is so far left, he's worked his way round to the centre-right.

Do we really need any more proof that Seeth is a Poe/troll?

[pErvinalia]

I'm afraid to inform you that he actually believes this stuff. The "poe/troll" thing is just an escape clause in case he says something too mental even for him.

I don't believe anything he say. If he said I was on fire I would seek thermal imaging to confirm before acting.

Seth is right that Ayers totally escaped justice for his involvement in several terrorist bombings of government buildings.
Really, what kind of politician would be friends of or support someone that actually had committed treason against the US government?

[pErvinalia]

Seth talks about treason against the government all the time.

And I don't know if they were a terrorist group, necessarily. Their primary aim wasn't to terrorise the citizenry. It was to overthrow the government, wasn't it?

Was Ayers convicted?

It often strikes me that in reality Europe has at least as much freedom and liberty as the USA does. You can go where you want, do and say what you want more or less as you can in America. But arguably we are more tolerant and even more open in some respects. We have socialist governments alongside pretty far right ones (who have the upper hand at the moment arguably), communist ministers and/or elected officials here and there, a sprinkling of fascists here and there and we can even put up with elected officials who are openly opposed to the prevailing governance of our system. Teachers and professors have all sorts of positions, liberal, right wing, egalitarian and downright Marxist.

We seem to have managed more or less OK up til now.

Was Ayers convicted?

No, or not for much, but he did later admit his involvement in at least three bombings. Of course his girlfriend and two of his other friends / group members died trying to build a nail bomb. Things that should make you go

Hmm I get it anything that isnt worshiping of unrestricted capitalism = marxism

Close - unrestricted libertarianism more like.
