Duke or Columbia University?
Read the article and didn’t see mention of Duke...
“Two students at Columbia University are hosting a workshop later this month to encourage their peers to “redistribute our own wealth” to “marginalized people.”
As always, nothing is stopping leftists from re-distributing their own wealth. I doubt they will.
I have to admit, if you look at Libertarianism in pure form, it means no government - and as much as we’re not crazy about government, I have a really tough time figuring out who a society can exist without it - and I certainly cannot think of any examples of such.
In my younger days, I had debates with Libertarians. I asked them how do you build highways withing the government having eminent domain. They said that you have to negotiate with each landowner, and if someone won’t sell, you have to give up or figure out a way around them. And that would be just great, a highway between 2 cities 100 miles apart would have to be 400 miles, due to holdouts.
Do the redistribution of earned grades from the high test scores to help poorer students pass the exam and see if they get it.
You earned an “A” but we are giving you a “C” to help these failing students get a “C” too.
And by the way, hope you don’t mind that the failing med student who you helped pass will be performing the surgery on you!!!
“Everyone who disagrees with me is either a Nazi, or crazy, or both.”
Wonder if their “ round table discussion” will include Bible quotes on personal charitable giving?
Progressive Academics are on the psychopathic spectrum. Deep inside all of these people want to kill millions of Americans for being bourgeois.
The game of sweeping generalizations is so much fun!
Libertarianism is a mental illness, but don’t you dare call gender derangement syndrome a mental illness.

Read the excellent negative reviews of her book on Amazon.
Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America Hardcover – June 13, 2017
by Nancy MacLean
“MacLean’s book is, in the words of Duke political scientist Mike Munger, a work of “speculative historical fiction.” Quotes are mangled and chopped to convey a meaning precisely the opposite meant by the authors, articles are misunderstood, arguments are distorted beyond recognition, and she is unable to understand the intellectual project of Buchanan and public choice theory. She also offers reports on people and events that are contradicted by those involved and publicly available facts. The result is a fun story, but one that bears little resemblance to the truth......”
Denied by whom? In a free country individuals who are productive are free to gain what they need by earning them. Also in a free country wealth is created not taken by some from others.
Duke University history professor Nancy MacLean seems to be on the deluded fool spectrum!!!!

Communism - Wealth cannot be created, it can only be stolen. If someone has wealth then they or their parents must have stolen it. It can’t be that they created it, that’s not one of the options. So, wealth is in and of itself evidence that a crime has been committed and wealthy people are criminals. (Wealthy people are defined as anyone who has more money than another person.)
Everyone should have the same! Well, I guess the leaders can have a bit more. They have worked the hardest for the greater good. And maybe some of their good friends. Oh, and their best workers. Maybe not as much but a little bit. But everyone else should be equally happy! Which, I suppose is no different than equally miserable. Nevertheless, Power to the People!
This article has nothing to do with libertarians. You posted the wrong link, if that’s what you wanted. You need https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10504
Them first....
Knew a guy who did that in the sixties while at Yale. Gave away his share of the fam fortune. His whole inheritance.
Life never really worked out for him.
"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876. Arnett's "Sermon" is available in the "Library of Congress - Historical Collections" - "African-American Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection," 1820-1920; American Memory, Washington, DC.
