Particularly enlightening in the present context is the first article - "The New Left" which analyzes the university riots of Berkley in the sixties. -DeepakAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832046931972460163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037385.post-51063490824665025602017-08-18T16:41:19.318+05:302017-08-18T16:41:19.318+05:30@zrini, that is VERY dangerous. Trying to enforce...@zrini, that is VERY dangerous. Trying to enforce equality backfires massively. It is a form of market intervention in society.<br /><br />As for free speech, I am with the US constitution in that it requires an extremely strong, non-ideological, reason for any instance of its curbing.
