It's a 1600's to modern time history course at a local university here in Northern Virginia.

Since it's the beginning of the semester, I don't know what this professor's ideology is like (he's probably early to mid 50's in age).

However, what kind of impression would you get from a history professor wearing this shirt in class?

You made a thread about what another guy was wearing today. Think about that for second.

Obviously you're not a very deep thinker....

The question is geared more towards what the shirt says about the wearer's view of history, and how that may affect the overall history course that the person is teaching.

I think wearing a shirt like that advertises a degree of affinity to Communism.

Maybe the professor attended the NYC Climate Change march last year

it's a joke tshirt.

do you honestly think a real communist would try to make a political statement with a picture of Karl Marx wearing a lampshade on his head and making the devil horns?

Good catch. Well, I am only a freshman with a lot to learn about how to think.

not contitutional

you'd have to shoot anyone swearing on the constitution

perhaps just take a ship s, e, w and do facsim there - where people enjoy gov workers pointing weapons at them

Perhaps you missed the memo, but English is the official language of FFXU. Post in English or GTFO.

If it were an English (or Mathematics) prof I would guess they are referring to the ambuity of the English language.

Perhaps you should ask him if his shirt refers to the political philosophy or a a group of inebrieted confused socialists.

That's what I don't understand - at first I thought it was satirical...but upon further reflection, it doesn't coincide with 'traditional' American humor...

In all honesty, I don't think it's really "dissing" Communism....It's more a play on the words: "Communist Party"

Keep in mind, this a history professor (with a PHD)

The only other t-shirts related to Communism that I've ever seen:




Oh yeah - fuck you...... Guess I should just keep my eyes on facebook/twitter right?

I shouldn't question who is teaching me history, and why he's a wearing a "Communist Party" t-shirt in a class that will cover the history of all the characters on the shirt??

fuck you dude.....try to think outside the box sometime

Thank you for not criticizing my incredulity - and I will certainly ask him about it....

Just wanted to do a little background checking and test the waters before bringing it up in class....

Dude,

1). You are the one not thinking outside the box,unlike your prof.

2). Communists shirts are hip on some circles. See

You do realize that the people depicted in my history professor's t-shirt are responsible for the deaths of millions of people right?

Maybe he wore it to preemptively desensitize the class: "heeyy communist! its fun!"

After all, what are communist known for (apart from genocide)?

Answer: communist propaganda!

think about it...

Karl Marx was a brutal murderer. I saw it on Fox News. Sean Hanniday is the only professor I need.

Right wing leaders like Hitler fought communists. We all know they are the true heros.

So, you are what, a second semester freshman at Mason, and this is perhaps your second history class, and you're shocked at your instructor's seeming disregard for your sensibilities? Prepare to have your little minivan driving, GOP voting, white bread world rocked. His position is in no way affected by you or your parents complaints. Go that route and you'll receive a sympathetic note from the Dean that will explain academic freedom. The Dean will have been laughing (at you) while writing it.

Feel free to discuss this in class with the professor. He relishes the opportunity, not only to teach, but to shatter your worldview. You, a high school graduate, will not fair well in a debate with someone having 10+ years of post-secondary education. The healthy attitude would be to explore history as he presents it, and let that challenge your own beliefs.

If at the end, and with honest introspection, you find your beliefs intellectually sound and intact, then you can sincerely claim to have arrived at such and such a position through reason, and not by blind acceptance of the "wisdom" of your fathers. If, on the other hand, your bedrock beliefs are cracked wide, then you know they weren't so steady in the first place. In either case, you've learned something, which is why your are where you are.

If nothing else, you'll probably learn how stupid it is to refer to the persons depicted as "communists". This word has been co-opted and grossly misused by the right in this country.

The people on the t-shirt would have referred to themselves as Socialists, because in their systems government owns the means of production -- in a capitalist society, private individuals own it. Communism, as defined by Marx, was the end point of dialectic materialism, of history, in which all systems and all people have achieved perfection. Everyone owns the means of production. There is no government, people in a communist state act out of a sense of enlighted self-interest. Only a fool would refuse to live in such a utopia. How realistic is Marx's thinking on this? Well, it derived from Hegalism, something else you'll need to understand.

Your sophmore year civics class at Madison/Oakton/Falls Church/McLean was poor preparation for this.

It surprises me that a (federalist republic)government funded university would employ a professor who may be an open communist supporter who teaches a class that covers that specific period.

My only question is, will he cover China's "Great Leap Forward" which killed 45 million Chinese?

Or the 20 million who died under Stalin?

etc etc

Welcome to the academic world and you will be taught that Americans, including yourself if you are white, are responsible for the world's problems. Western civilization has been a curse on a world, just look it up on the internet on your iphone.

And profits are evil.

Just to tie this whole pro-Communism, anti-America, climate-change thread together:

news alert! (just in case you missed the Communist-Party banner from the 2014 Climate Change March in NYC)

The climate change/anti-fracking movement/etc isn't about the climate: it's part of the anti-United States movement.

Who hates our country? Putin/China/Iran/Castro

I'll leave the rest to you....

Glad to see the history teachers in the US publicly funded schools are anti-American.

> And profits are evil.

Any society built on the backs of the proletariat by an elite ruling class, either government or companies, is wrong. Everyone knows this.

I go to a local university. Almost all my teachers are leftwing partisan nuts. English, math, history, economics, statistics, business... All of them work some anti-GOP or pro-democratic party message into their lectures. They all seem to despise capitalism as well.

90% of us don't give a shit. We just sit there shaking our head up and down wishing they would get back on topic so we can take notes. We play the game and parrot their nuttery when asked or in what we write for projects so we can keep our A's. No minds are being changed. Kinda like here on the underground.

Those that can, do................make money

Those that can't, teach........and bitch about those making money
