[lbo-talk] question for those who remember the 70s

[Ricky Page]

I think ultimately this illustrates the complete victory of neo-liberalism
, I remember in the early 80's when I was a student the stirring of right-wing 
attitudes among the instructors, concerning the low=level of intelligence of 
working-class st8udents= this always pissed me off, big time.

I recall some right-winger at the time as saying that the massification of 
higher ed gave people an experience of leisure that was really inappropriate to 
their class position.
