‘Anti-Capitalist’ Campus Co-Op Faces Shutdown Because Renters Refuse to Pay Rent
31st January 2016
The Campbell Club at the University of Oregon is $17,000 in debt because, well, people take its anti-capitalist bona fides seriously. Or they’re just lazy bums.
The Daily Emerald reports that the Student Cooperative Association, which oversees campus co-ops, will shut down the Campbell Club in two months if it doesn’t pay its tab.
Just as ‘capitalism’ was invented by Karl Marx to serve as a shame-name for an economic system that was UnGood (i.e. not communism), so ‘anti-capitalist’ is embraced by people who dislike economic procedures that personally inconvenience them, such as paying rent, buying stuff rather than just getting it for free, and the like.
One of these days I’m going to do an article on The Myth of Capitalism and explain the damage to Western intellectual history by Marxism that is largely off the radar.
