That’s strange. My humanities degree taught a subject called Theories of the Right. We had no such subject for the left. These theories weren’t ridiculed at all.

I went on to do a cleaning grad dip, Mistie, so it’s all good.

They all contribute to cultural "theory" and/or human behaviour in one way or another. Dawkins' The Selfish Gene is the flip side argument to all the 'social construction' theories floating about; Friedman and Hayek were both influenced by classical liberalism, who both happened to write on economics (economics is related to culture, remember, as your Marxist buddies would agree); McDonald and Windschuttle merely interpret history and culture differently (conservatively) to the dominant left-wing narrative.

See, I was right the first time. You leftists have zero tolerance for alternative perspectives. You think your Marxist and post-structural garbage should be the only things taught. No wonder you clowns attract the ire of every non-leftist. As I stated before, you cultural Marxists are too authoritarian for there to be any reform in the academe, so only by stripping you of funding can you be removed.

Don't think I am letting you go this easy either. What you nihilists have done to higher education in the last 50 years I consider a crime against humanity. Cultural Marxists in the academe are the most dangerous of all leftists. While violent clowns like antifada may seem like the most dangerous type, they are merely over-emotional adolescents who have about the same amount of brain cells as a chimpanzee. The quiet, patient, calm, scholarly types are the most dangerous, as they invent and proliferate the pessimism, self-loathing and nihilism that is destroying the health and pride of the West. You remove these types, you remove source of the problem.

The world is currently turning right at the moment, in case you haven't noticed. How do you feel? Nervous?

Hmm what about comrades Stalin and Pol Pot.  They used their hammer and sickle to crop a few tall poppy intellectuals in their time ...especially those that didn't quite agree with their political ideologies ......a bit like your earlier post ayyyyyyyyyy Tommy?

I've never advocated death to intellectuals, or anyone for that matter. Read correctly what I stated: removal from the academe.

I thought you cultural Marxists were supposed to hermeneutical experts?

That aside, there are many on the right who do wish for the intellectual left to pass away. This is why it's in most people's interests that moderate conservative governments come to power.

No, that would be a ridiculous position to hold.

Fascism (the antithesis of which is anarchism) is a state of rigid governance that can come from any ideology.

Fascism as a term comes from "Fasces" which was a weapon or axe - whose handle was strengthen by tightly binding dowels or sticks together to form and/or strengthen the handle. This is the metaphor which is at the core of fascist ideology - to violently restrict thought, or action, or race, or whatever the pet project of the government ideology is at the time - in order to simulate a coherent society (by taking away the freedom to be anything other than compliant).

Your idea of Fascism however is clearly based on your own political biases, hence why it can't factor in people like Pinochet, or any of the far right traditionalist fascists the Islamic world has to offer.

But don't worry - there's a word to describe a person like you too: Ideologue.

And so does Mistie. He teaches "cultural studies" in the faculty of Health & Hygiene.
