Evergreen College professor harassed, slandered as racist for opposing “exclusion day” on campus


The key point is the rejection of " objective reality ". More than a century ago Lenin wrote a now obscure and scorned as " crude " book on trends in philosophy : " Materialism and Empirio Criticism.
 I was quite impressed with this book which nobody " on the Left " read anymore.

In that book Lenin warned about this trend in bourgeois philosophy : the REJECTION of objective truth. I thought Lenin was a little hard on " God seeking " which will never go away. But his book was a great weapon against this philosophical " idealism "

Nothing " crude " about respect for the methods of Science - even in history and anthropology,and sociology, and economics, and class struggle politics.

" Identity politics " rejects even formal logic : A=A.

I recall Lenin saying : " Between solid and liquid there is pure mush " .
