Today's exercise into academic masturbation -

NYC college students learning ‘How to Steal’ — as class teaches ‘line between private property and public good is drawn in blood’

The article's format is not c&p friendly, some of the stuff --

The value of a college degree has been called into question lately — and for good reason.

Parents might be shocked to learn what they’re paying for.

At the New School in Manhattan, a four-year private university where the $60,240 tuition doesn’t cover housing, students at the university’s Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts can learn “How to Steal.”

What a bunch of crap.


Pragmatism: the relentless pursuit of seeing things as they really are.

Maybe they'll get mugged when they go on their "field based seminar". Dispossession is routine after all. Roll Eyes

I suspect most college students could teach the professor a thing or two about stealing!

What do you mean “a bunch of crap”?

Take a look around, it’s unfortunately a regular occurrence.
Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, black lies matter movement, pro palistinan movement, the majority of the democrat/liberals/communists in this country…

Basically, a class on “Im going to cry, bitch and moan, hamper and inconvenience people‘s way of life until I get my way and my money.”

It just depends on how it’s being taught-
If it’s a “how to” class, then they can go fuck themselves.
If it’s a “this is how the enemy operates, this is what we need to do to combat this”, then Im in!

The description asks what theft looks like under capitalism and colonialism, not socialism and communism, and mentions 'redistribution.'
Conservative, Judeo-Christian values to be taught? I think not.

Bets?

Send the educators and willing students on a horse-thieving field trip, organize a posse and hang them.

Just kidding.

Goes to office hours. Steals from professor's desk as professor works for an institution that hoards capital and is a cog in the machine. Redistribution of own tuition and fees back to self. Simply reclaiming value what was originally the student's, though perhaps in a different form. Answers the question. It is possible to steal back what was already stolen.

Give me my A, hippie.
