For most professors in the humanities (especially anthropology and history) I have seen a radical tendency. Anarchism is more common than marxist socialism for sure but I have brought up my explicit marxism to multiple professor and not been directly challenged on it. The response has typically been, "marxism is a valid analytical perspective but limited in certain capacities" at worst. There has only been one professor I would describe as anti-marxist.

I have only had one professor who was explicitly marxist but he was a trot and would regularly visit mexico to mourn him. Interesting guy

    That is... Uhh. Dude I don't even mourn Lenin he died a really long ass time ago.

    Really thinking about it I have to wonder what kind of brainworms it takes to make someone go on a regular trip to mourn Trotsky and not on a regular trip to mourn someone more important like Lenin or Marx?
