For example, he ordered selfless civics and sympathy for the demonstrations turned violent in other vehemently upset over the causes and the forced conscription of poor people into military service (he called it downtrodden and economically parts of the world, including Rome, outcome of the standoff, but it seems "mobilization of peasants").

Surely if the UWM Post were aware that Leninism stands for these things, it would dare to challenge any visiting scholar's suggestion that we look to Leninism for "help." Of course, I do not mean to suggest that "capitalist" political economies should escape scrutiny. I do not mean at all to suggest that social conscience FEATURE PHOTOS should be stifled or social action disavowed. Quite to the contrary. But we also must be careful to turn a critical eye to ideas floated (often romantically and ignorantly) as potential alternatives to the current status quo.
