[lbo-talk] MH & DG on university

[shag carpet bomb]

At a forum on the future of OWS, Malcolm Harris asks about student debt and 
how the university could ever be a place worth saving as a place that 
ignites the political imagination if the only thing the university has done 
so far is to immiserate people to the point that they are now capable of an 
insurrectionary political imagination.

Graeber defends the university as a place to light up, kick back, get laid 
and that's perfectly OK because others are thinking about the meaning of 
life, reading up on revolutionary history, etc.

NOTE: Penny Red is making furious faces as HArris speaks because Mark 
Crispin Miller responded to here query about why no women or people of 
color by claiming that one important lesson of the 60s was that liberal 
funding organziations emerged to buy off men and women of color and 
feminists by funding the establishment of ethnic and women's studies 
department to balkanize the left and keep everyone from paying attention to 
the fundamental problem: class.
