Same method. New proletariat. Class warfare (economic) becomes cultural revolution narrative. Dismantle, decolonize.

SteelMan: Gramscian strategy of institutional capture is a real theoretical tradition.
Cut: The plate does not show the staffing or the capture.

SteelMan: The limit is stated on the plate.
Cut: The plate does not show the sociology or the damage.
Democratic. Levinson. Marxist advisor.

Cut: The plate does not show the continuity.
Of the West. Tolerate the left, repress the right. Authority (the authoritarian) as mass pacifier. Bled Germany. Columbia sues USA.
The plate links the school to asymmetric tolerance.
SteelMan: Frankfurt School critical theory is a real intellectual tradition.
Cut: The plate does not show the causal path to Columbia or the repression.
