I think that the silver lining of this is that they actually think people listen to Marxist academics. I think they are abit over zealous in that regard but the fact that they think people listen to them means that they hold some level of political power, however ephemeral. It means that it must be taken seriously.
as somebody who's studied polisci, i can safely say that this is 100% projection.
ofc, it's not entirely the same. for example, learning about master bullshitters like Hobbes and Rousseau has absolutely zero real world applications outside of producing puffy verbal diarrhea that's aligned with the ruling ideology and actively keeps people from understanding anything (social contract my ass, i never agreed to these ToS you fuckheads!), whereas reading Lenin or Mao actually gives you a basic understanding of realpolitik and the conditions that dominate everybody's day-to-day life.
Poli-Sci majors are some of the most indoctrinated people I've met. They're the types who spent years of their lives studying politics only to say that "socialism is when the government does things."

Marxists arresting other Marxists over tiny doctrinal issues is like the most Marxist thing ever.

I wander what the purpose of a political-science major at the City University of New York is...
