    [Edit - Fixed link] TIL - Cornel West is a grifter. See self text.. Note that he's now running for the Green Party not the People's Party.

    Alaskaball's comments...

    Dude was always a grifter. He's an anti-marxist Utopian 'socialist' sheepdog of the democrat party who acted alongside Jesse Jackson to capture and coopt the work of the black panther party and defuse the revolutionary proletarian energy from the movement until it became another limb of bourgeoise establishment politics.

    Look at what they did to Fred Hampton's work building the foundations of a proletarian rainbow coalition - they stripped the class elements, needless to say they stripped its revolutionary elements as well, and used its desiccated message of hope for a better future as a means to further entrench Capitalism. This is to say that unlike Fred Hampton who said you fight Fire with water as an allegory to fighting Capitalism with Socialism, they decided to fight fire with more fire.

    I shouldn't have quoted the site that I did in the selftext - it's lib crap. Here's an archive.today link for the source WSJ article...

    By Cornel West and Jeremy Wayne Tate

    Gov. Ron DeSantis just gave a welcome boost to the classical-education movement. He signed legislation allowing high-school students to qualify for Bright Futures scholarships, a state fund for college education, by submitting scores from the Classic Learning Test instead of the SAT alone.

    [...]

    Mr. West holds a chair at Union Theological Seminary and serves on the board of academic advisers of the Classic Learning Test. Mr. Tate is founder and CEO of the Classic Learning Test.
