ROK: Perhaps you’ve wondered why so many college professors are so left-wing. In your freshman year, you might have noted with dread—as I did—some of your fellow students “going with the flow” and molding their beliefs to fit in. Perhaps one of them was you, before you grew up and snapped out of it! The Frankfurt School is the answer to why so many universities are Social Justice Warrior factories.
The origins of the Frankfurt School
They began as a Communist think tank at the Goethe University Frankfurt. They noted that the masses didn’t rise up during the First World War to overthrow capitalism; instead, the citizens fought for their countries. Only Russia became Communist, a place they didn’t expect Communism to take hold. Since they took the writings of Marx as gospel, all this was quite shocking. They decided they needed to prepare the way by breaking down traditional social ties—country, family, and religion—and afterwards the masses would embrace rule by a global Communist state. That’s not working out too well lately, but all that’s another story. more
These forever studying “perfessers” never have to go out in the real world to work for a living. That right there tends to distort your outlook on reality… big time!
“You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern.”
You cannot get rid of them? Really?
You can find the solution to this problem in communism itself. After the puppet masters have instigated their revolution, and placed themselves in power, the ‘true believers’ – useful idiots who were instrumental in establishing the totalitarian communist state – become liabilities.
These useful idiots will eventually become disillusioned, as they come to realize that the communist fantasy they were recruited with, programmed with, bears no resemblance to the communist reality of a repressive, stagnant, brutal, corrupt, police state.
As in the Soviet Union, these useful idiots – the true believers of their revolution – are invariably among the first to be purged.
We need only skip over the revolution and creation of the communist state portions of their agenda, right to the lethal purges. It would probably be prudent to hand the puppet masters along with the useful idiots.
McCarthy was only wrong in grossly understating the scope of the problem.
…probably be prudent to HANG…

The Devils’ Pleasure Palace is a great book about Critical Theory and the Frankfurt School.
Daren Jonescu at American Thinker wrote extensively of progressive John Dewey, et al. and the abject destruction of higher education in the once greatest country in the world…
