ICYMI: Professor Who Fled Communism Resigns, Says Ivy League School Is Becoming 'Full-Blown' Communist
Democrats want socialism. They welcome communism. They are straight-up Marxists, at this point. And by the time America becomes full-on leftist, however long down the road that might be, it will be too late for any form of reversal. We’ll see how much Dems love them some Constitution then!
Who cares that socialism has failed in every country in which it has been implemented, they say. American politicians will get it right and the world will finally look favorably upon the United States, they argue.
Stooges, every one of them. According to one former Ivy League professor, a prestigious school is not headed down the right path. Here’s what’s up, via Epoch Times:
A Romanian-born professor who fled communism in his homeland said he recently abandoned his tenured post at Columbia University because various incidents convinced him the prestigious school is “on its way toward full-blown communism.”
Andrei Serban, an award-winning film director with an extensive list of credits on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), complained about the growing pressure to conform to social-justice ideals he experienced in the theater department of the Ivy League school, in an interview that aired Oct. 26 on Romania’s TVR1.

One example he gave from Columbia was of the pressure he felt to admit a transgender applicant who auditioned to play Juliet in William Shakespeare’s classic play.
Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is upset that she had to pay $7 for a croissant – as anyone would be.
But how is it so hard for AOC to see why she’s paying $7?
A basic lesson in economics should have Ocasio-Cortez understanding that when minimum wages rise, so do the costs of goods.
Hasn’t she ever heard of supply and demand?
Of course, raising the minimum wage also forces businesses to cut back workers’ hours and/or stop hiring altogether, but, shhh! Alexandria doesn’t want to hear that!
And yet, AOC still calls for a $15 minimum wage.
Look:
Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE ????
Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??

Reactions:
Bless your heart.
The croissants at LaGuardia are going for $7 because people continue to purchase them.
If the consumer wasn't buying the product, then the business would lower costs.
People living in socialist countries don't get croissants; they have to eat their pets.

The inflated price of food at the airport is caused by the extremely overpriced retail space, which in turn is managed by the city of New York. Maybe you should find way to lower taxes instead of creating more ways to grab people’s money.

It’s almost like you have the option of not buying one.
