It’s back to school season across the nation. The festivities here at Arizona State University included a group called Students for the Socialist Revolution. At their recruiting table, they erected a large red banner, featuring a huge picture of Karl Marx, complete with the hammer and sickle. One of their members cut a video for the public, calling herself “comrade” and asked fellow “Bolsheviks” to join her organization.

Nobody raised an eyebrow. 

Earlier this year, Dennis Prager was invited to ASU, and a large group of faculty condemned him, calling him a white nationalist … and organizers lost their jobs.  

Why are we so blithe about communism, never mind communist revolution? Communist states and leaders are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of innocents—and yet the campus is up in arms over Dennis Prager?

And: Barely a peep when self-identified Marxists embrace the hammer and sickle and the language of revolution.

We have our work cut out for us.
