Posting at Campus Reform, Ilya Buynevich explains why advocates for socialism in America don’t know what they’re talking about:
Walking near Temple University, I
noticed a flyer advocating for “socialism in our lifetime.” The message from an
outside group reads in full, “Socialist Revolution: Join the fight for
socialism in our lifetime.” Having grown up in Soviet-era Ukraine and now a
tenured professor at Temple, I feel strongly that most college-age Americans do
not understand what they are saying when they advocate for socialism.
Today, many American college
students do not understand that they are advocating for a system that goes
beyond what even the Soviets promoted. There is a real distinction that
students do not appreciate between the romanticized idea of state socialism in
Scandinavia and the reality of socialism – what I experienced as a student in
the Soviet Union.
Most student activists tout equity
and many undergraduates champion socialism as a means to achieve equity – a
process to engineer outcomes. Where I grew up, this would mean giving everyone
the same grade, so it was never a factor in Soviet higher education. . .
