Why else would the right have explicitly Christian colleges, if not to counter the supposed liberal and atheist propaganda from the left?
Also, the fact that throughout history, both the far-left and far-right dictatorships target intellectuals first as the first show of power. Which shows that colleges are not inherently biased to any ideologies. I don’t need to mention what the Nazis did, but I want to remind what the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia did to intellectuals and those who simply wear glasses (i.e. nerd looking). From the far-left perspective, colleges are too right. And the far-right thinks colleges are too left.
They’re still considered left and identified as such.
I know Lemmy can be left leaning so I guess my analysis made some assholes sore.
Edit: to answer your question, Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot believed that society must be organised by peasants alone, and intellectuals have no place in it. Hence, the purge and genocide. That belief can’t get anymore left.

Both of those examples are far right groups that claimed to be leftist.
no, no, but don’t you see?! the nazis are the SOCIALIST workers party, therefore they must be lefties!
And the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is -super- democratic!
you’re just falling for those lies! 😆
Lol yesterday someone on here told me that conservatism is leftwing in a communist society. Lol.

I wonder if those old Nazis laugh in their graves every time someone confuses the left and right ideologies. Their National Socialist troll lives on
To be fair conservatism in Russia of 1992 was communism.
Haven’t I mentioned far-right? Haven’t I mentioned Nazis? Haven’t I implied enough they’re far-right?
Oh lemmy, being a sore left butt when legit criticisms are made. Just as sore as the right cheek from the same arse 😂
Name me some examples of their leftwing ideologies please. If you’re struggling to name any, take that as a hint.

Ah yes, leftwing ideas such as equality of all people, human rights and class-based genocide.
There were autocratic totalitarians with a genocidal hiërarchy. None of those are left…
Too bad those who preach never put them in practice and end up like those they hate.
