Marxist Wisconsin Prof Makes Six Figures Teaching About Inequality |
2017-06-16 |
[LI] Marxist Wisconsin Professor Rakes In $170,000 Per Year Teaching About Inequality And Oppression The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a sociology course informing students that capitalism creates "a world of great misery, inequality and oppression" that "is irrational in ways that hurt nearly everyone." Erik Olin Wright, the well-heeled professor who teaches the graduate-level course, rakes a sweet annual salary of $170,000 per year. The MacIver Institute, a free-market think tank, obtained the syllabus for Wright’s course by way of a public records request. The course is entitled: "Class, State, and Ideology: An Introduction to Social Science in the Marxist Tradition." The affluent professor’s course syllabus, which goes on -- and on -- for almost 80 pages, declares that capitalism "generates harms" and "generates injustices" which "can be broadly grouped under three rubrics: exploitation, domination and irrationality." Marxism, on the other hand, is an "emancipatory social science" that seeks to "fulfill the goal of generating critical social scientific knowledge relevant to the task of challenging systems of oppression." "Human emancipation" is the goal of Marxism, the fat-cat professor explains. |

#9 Number I saw was 20% of all professors in the humanities self identify as marxist. Guess that means the other 80% are lying. |

#1 You just can't make this feces up, can you? BTW, speaking of "emancipation", about 15 minutes ago, I just took a massive "Erik Olin Wright" while reading the sports page. Ahhhh, I feel so liberated now! |
