Why do colleges consistently produce leftists?
Discussion
because they (cultural marxists) infiltrated the faculties. long ago. in the 70s it started
I have heard that.
They called it "the long march" or something like that right?
I'd be interested to know how that was coordinated.
One would imagine that it couldn't possibly be grassroots, because their ideas are usually so bad that there's no way that their adoption is organic.
I visited a college a while ago on an errand, and I hadn't been in one in about a decade.
The one thing that I found concerning was the amount of "messaging" in general.
For example, 10 years ago, most of the posters were about parties that were coming up, or gigs that were coming up, or advertising meal deals in the cafeteria. Now it's all about how not to be racist, how to rape women, how to tie your shoelaces, how to blow your nose, how to inhale and exhale etc etc. .
You know what I mean?
*how NOT to rape women

The Chinese have certainly had a hand in it, as they have for a number of decades.
I'm trying to find a decent book about the Cultural Revolution that happened over there, and what were the forces behind it. My gut tells me that it wasn't grassroots.
Because for colleges to grow, they had to admit more people even though there are not enough good jobs available for the college educated and mostly indebted. This is the fault of the colleges for charging so much, and promising a better future when no such future was possible for the majority of their students. The students are justifiably pissed for getting rugged. So in order to avoid getting blamed, the colleges indoctrinate them to believe it's the man keeping them down, that capitalism is unfair, etc. When really they fucked their own students with a bad deal.
See, this is a really interesting take.
It's a reoccurring theme within the fiat structure: "masking the consequences of inflation".
You're right about the lie that college is the key to a better life. If you leave school as soon as possible, become a plumber or a mechanic, or a welder, something like that, start earning, start saving in Bitcoin, the wealth gap between you and a college student that actually manages to get a decent job afterwards probably isn't that big.
What's more is that you will have saved yourself the trouble of going through Marxist bootcamp.
What are you talking about? Where I'm from (the US) colleges produce worker bees, not leftists
Why do farmer constantly produce farming products?
I see your point, but this wasn't always the raison d'etre of colleges.
I do believe that at one point in time the really were dedicated to the pursuit of truth, wherever that led to.
In other words colleges used to produce thinkers, and now they produce apparatchiks that will toe the party line.
When did this change? What was the inflection point.
As mentioned earlier, like so many of these changes, one invariably finds a connection to the introduction of the fiat system.
I believe bona fide socialists started taking over colleges in central Europe in the late 1800s and it just started spreading from there, to Britain, to the States, etc. over the course of the 1900s. Through the universities, they could indoctrinate young professionals and groom them into furthering the cause.
I think that the university system as a whole is built by socialists to produce more socialists. There are colleges that aren't, of course. But definitely all the Ivy League and every publicly funded university.
Colleges are state funded for the most part and unproductive to boot. They are ideologically and financially aligned with socialism.
So is your point thus:
"The State is socialist. College depends on the State. Therefore the College is forced to promote socialism." ?
