The World Socialist Web Site, a hard-left news outlet which promotes revolutionary opposition to the capitalist market system has published a scathing editorial denouncing the student protesters at Evergreen State College as race-baiting loons who fail address any actual issues affecting working class people of all races and genders.
Over the past couple weeks, the Evergreen State campus in Olympia, Washington has been the site of a stream of high-profile protests led largely by radical black students.
The protesters have centered much of their fury on Bret Weinstein, a white biology professor who criticized an organized event inviting every white student, professor and administrator to leave campus for a day.
The complete absence of all white people on campus would acknowledge the value of having POC [people of color] in higher education, according to Rashida Love, one of the principal organizers of the Day of Absence for white people.
Professor Weinstein is not a right-wing professor, the World Socialist Web Site editorial observes in its editorial, which is entitled Evergreen College professor harassed, slandered as racist for opposing exclusion day on campus.
Weinstein supported socialist Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election, the website notes.
There is nothing left or progressive in the actions of the students protesting Weinstein, the socialist website says. Their racialist outlook expresses the interests of privileged sections of the upper middle class, and complements the racism of the far-right.
The World Socialist Web Site also notes that Evergreen State has not been the site of any racist incidents. The protesters claim that the campus is seething with racial tensions is not supported by any concrete evidence.
The student protesters have nothing to say about the burden of student debt, food insecurity, poverty and unemployment, the socialist website criticizes. The sum total of the Evergreen State protest amounts to an expression of identity politics for the sake of identity politics.
The protests at Evergreen are part of a broader trend, the World Socialist Web Site charges. Racialist politics is systematically promoted by the media and the political establishment, particularly the Democratic Party, as part of an effort to divide workers of different races against each other, while subordinating the working class to the competition of factions of the upper middle class for access to privilege and power.
The socialist website notes that the Evergreen State protests fit into a pattern of race-based events and protests at many college campuses in recent years including the University of Missouri, Yale University, Amherst College and Harvard University.
I have Black lawyer friends in Kenya. Sent them a link to these protests videos. The universal reaction among the Kenyan Blacks was "If my child ever did that at University, they would be home and working in a menial "work-a-day" job within 24 hours!"
Jumping the shark has become a way of life for libs. Even the sharks are getting tired of it.
It’s soooo much fun watching the wacky left screw themselves into the ground.
It’s a shame the MSM is not giving these racist idiots the attention they deserve.
Evergreen is a bigger story than the Comey non-story. Yet because Evergreen exposes the very basic faults and flaws that are common to liberals everywhere - they are ignored.
Even the media whores don’t want to air their dirty laundry in public.
Of course they’re going to tell the kids at Evergreen to cool it. Because that’s the thing with Marxists. They don’t want people to see its full totalitarian effect until at the end when they have seized power and their subjects are disarmed or indoctrinated. But the buildup to that power has to be as discreet as possible. Otherwise it’ll get rejected out of hand.
They are not good guys (they're very anti-religion, of course), but they have completely disavowed violent revolution as not worth the death and misery it brings. They also reject racialism/nationalism in favor of a purely economic old school socialism. And they reject the idea of a "vanguard" of spoiled brat intellectual hipsters who have to lead the working class around by the nose. Evidently their work is to make radical socialists of everyday people and let the everyday people then create socialism themselves. How radical!
I just went to the socialist website where the editorial appears and I read through the comments of the leftists posting there. Now I have a headache.
Where’s the “Crybullies” meme when ya need it? Hehehe. d;^)
Dr Frankenstein is trying to unmake the monster he created. Too late.
The jig was up November 8th
It is a scene mindful of Mao’s cultural revolution, where anyone with any sign of something western- a picture, a book, a record album, clothing, eyeglasses, a haircut, a musical instrument- could be arrested and sent to the reeducation camps. The young people were the zealots amped up to demonstrate loyalty to the revolution. Some in their cultic mania even ate raw the body parts of those they were arresting and denouncing.
bkmk
while advertising the inutility and the damage to educational systems of expelling white people.
It is officially a cold day in Hell (Texas summer) when I find myself agreeing with the Socialist newspaper.
Wait, I just did.
Yup.
Each and every normal person watching this crap must be saying under their breath, "enough is enough."
Somebody will pay for all this craziness and I expect it will produce another 'suprise' loss for the Democrats somewhere down the line.
Huh? None of that make any sense. How does no white people somehow acknowledge the "value" of non-whites?
“How does no white people somehow acknowledge the “value” of non-whites? “

Because for one day the morons can feel like the smartest people on campus.
.
I saw a video of the professor, that is the target of the whacky students.
He said he is very liberal (progressive as they now say) and that the students’ actions are beyond comprehension.
The college president is apparently a big wimp, and has completely laid down to the students.
Too bad the governor and legislature have n more sense than the students or the college president.
