This occured December 1st during a lecture hosted by the New England Objectivist Society and the UMass Republicans. Titled: "Global Capitalism: The Cure for World Oppression and Poverty" given by Professor Andrew Bernstein of SUNY Purchase about how a system of capitalism and property rights, underpinned by Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, is the solution to the conditions of poverty seen throughout much of the world. The protest, which no group on UMass took responsibility for, shows just how weak the norms of free discourse and open thought are among those who desire to force their own vision of society upon other people. It is a disgrace for which the University's admistration needs to address and work towards ensuring that such a display of intolerance never occurs again.
I'd rather have her intolerance on display, out in the open.
It shows her hypocrisy, and that SHE is the one that is in favor of oppression.
