outstanding features : Work more than you ever will in your life but earn a petty wage :angry-place: Academia is full of elders who formed a caste system which it will take you years to enter, if you even can. The pursuit of knowledge is secondary to funding concerns. :mao-shining: become alienated from your fellow workers :no-workers: be crushed by 18-wheeler on your way to Uni :no-carnism:

It's such a Marxist institution that 90% of the people I had classes with that I knew of went full Ultra neoliberal or fascist after graduating. :joker-amerikkklap:
I'm at an institution where the ostensibly "marxist" faculty told graduate students who were out of teaching "tough shit" during the first months of COVID.
Would love for real working class Marxists like Terry Eagleton and Raymond Williams to take over the academy again. Instead we have a bunch of professor's kids (the sheer amount of prof kids in the academy actually blows my minds) who think that everything's cool.
