According to screenshots confidentially provided to Campus Reform by an individual with access to the group’s private Facebook page, the demise of the Swarthmore Anti-Capitalist Collective (SACC) came in the wake of a farewell letter from a member who had decided the group could never be an effective proponent of “unproblematized anticapitalist politics” due to its “history of abuse, racism, and even classism.”
They probably figured out that real Marxism would mean giving up their money and privilege to the poors.
Swarthmore tuition, room, board and other fees: approximately $65,000 a year. This doesn’t include travel to and from school on all holidays and summer breaks. Doesn’t include interest on school loans. Doesn’t include lost wages from time spent at Swarthmore when a student could actually be working in the real world, learning real things, at a real job.
I must wonder what the parents think while they send their children to schools like that.
Are the parents all wealthy, radical Chic wannabes?
Or are they just middle-class Schmucks who are trying to do the best they can for their kids?
How do the parents feel when the children come home for break babbling this kind of nonsense? What do the parents think as they look at their diminishing bank balances. How do they feel as they work overtime or second jobs night after night to pay their kids tuition?
Get woke!
Marxism is white privilege.
“unproblematized anticapitalist politics” ???
These people obviously don’t know that one is supposed to use language to communicate, not to obfuscate. They are deluding themselves with these phrases that they are actually talking about anything that could make sense.
“On the poors” “woke” “sads” etc.
From whence does this argot arrive? Seriously. Does it have an origin?
OT, this is why conservatives voted for Trump:
This guy and the “ladies” need to go away. I am hoping the RNC is ramping up efforts to unseat the D Senators in purple states and the RINO’s. The people of AZ should be ashamed of themselves. I know the Conservatives in Maine as ashamed of Collins.

TnnsNE1, sometimes I think it would be neat if America had more than one political party.
“sometimes I think it would be neat if America had more than one political party.”
Yes, the so-called two party system is mostly just theater for the masses.
To be fair, all but 3 R’s voted the right way. Pence was on hand in case a deciding vote was needed.
This guy is looney tunes.
The caption should read, “You really spent MY inheritance on the POORS?”
The GOP Leadership has had years to get this right — and NOTHING!
They were supposed to have ring-binders prepared with tons of constructive and necessary bills waiting for Trumps’ swearing-in. Instead we just get swearing and bickering. Definitely time for strict term-limits and new legislators in BOTH houses.
**repulsed at ALL politicians**
I’m really not a big fan of bipartisanship. We’re $20 Trillion in debt because of “bipartisanship.”
And let’s be honest, here. The Democrats would never help pass any legislation because they want to deny PDT and the Republicans any “successes.”
They discovered the wisdom of Pogo. “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
ever notice that socialists always want to outlaw capitalism but capitalists never want to outlaw socialism. I guess that’s liberation.

I’m with you.
The usual limits of upper-class Fabian Socialism; “Wait… What? Who will bring us our tea then? This in intolerable!!”
They probably are, but she knows that they alone won’t get her reelected to the Senate. Thus, she knows which side her bread is buttered on, being from a purplish-blue state with a colleague who claims to be independent, but caucuses with and supports the Democrats 85+% of the time. She only has to look south to New Hampshire to see what happens when a sitting Republican is “too friendly” with the Republicans.
The puzzler to me is what is up with Lisa Murkowski…does she have fantasies of being the next Maverick McCain, or is there something specific to her demographic that would make supporting the outright repeal of Obamacare potentially toxic? At any rate the latest scoop is that POTUS Trump will take on the GOP congress next over their inaction on his legislative goals. Stay tuned for more DC fireworks…
Rumor is Ms. Collins is setting the groundwork to run for Governor.
That’s interesting; I didn’t know that. All the more reason for her then to be perceived as somewhat independent, lest she be tarred as a “LePage clone-replacement”.
#19, if she throws her bra into the ring. No one of substance from either party will enter the race. They should just skip the expense of an election and ordain her Governor for 2 terms.
As it turns out, the most important lecture of the year had already been given — and just as clearly, it does seem that the kind of societal do-gooding geniuses trained at Swarthmore would be well advised to consider giving it some attention some day eventually (*)
