The level of violence that activist-professors and -students face hasn't reached Dirty War levels, but shit's getting serious pretty fast. For now, victims are mostly losing their jobs (which is still really, really fucking bad if you ask me). But in five years? Ten years? I think we're barreling towards more extreme forms of fascist retribution that'll make Canary Mission look silly by comparison.
youre pretty much making leninweave's point for them by pointing out that the few remaining outspoken professors are being purged wherever possible.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, which is why my opinion is that academia in the west has no revolutionary potential at this time. That could definitely change in the coming years as the contradictions of capitalism intensify.
