That's all true, although they're still affected by the externalities of capitalism and usually aren't particularly wealthy. The decline of the American empire and climate change will hurt them, too. Plus, there are anticapitalist arguments to be made against how funding is allocated, the privatized nature of most publishing, and the way medical research is so often used for the sole purpose of securing profits for corporations and is kept inaccessible to the vast majority of the population (this is why a part of me wants to see if it would be possible to go to grad school in Cuba and just, like... stay).
And I also feel like it would be pretty easy to radicalize climate scientists and ecologists.

Oh, and perpetual adjuncts.

Yes, that's true. They're not generally proletarian and it's harder for them to have solidarity with each other.
