    I know any actual leftist academics in the US faced vicious push back/firing/threats of litigation (often from their own ‘colleagues’) during the Soviet Union’s existence

    I was in school during the Bush Era. My liberal arts professors ranged from liberal dove to Goldwater-tier crank. The closest thing to a Marxist I ever encountered was a math professor, and he was in a constant state of despair about US politics. Hardly a revolutionary actor.
