I am in higher level education in the public university system. I used to view academia as a source of hope in society, and perhaps a progressive institution in someways, or some kind of source of hope with their supposed focus on science and research. After some years here, this “image” I had of academia has been shattered.

What are your perceptions of academia and research institutions, as Marxists?

    A sad joke that question-begs liberal bullshit. Anything half-decent is strangled semester by semester until it finally succumbs and something more profitable can take its place. If academia is ever to live, it first must die.
