PROFESSOR’S RANT TO STUDENTS: COPS ARE ‘PIGGISH,‘ CONSERVATIVES ARE ’SCHMUCKS,‘ AMERICA IS ’PERVERSE PLACE,‘ NEED TO REVISIT ’USEFUL’ MARXIST CONCEPTS

The talk was a panel discussion entitled ‘The Transformation of Poverty Governance’ and revolved around how America is handling it’s welfare state.

According to The University of Pennsylvania Professor Philippe Bourgois:

  • Conservatives “brutalize the poor” and are “mean-spirited schmucks”
  • Police are “rough, mean, vicious, nasty and piggish”
  • Police will make up charges to incarcerate you
  • Karl Marx is “useful” and we need to revisit his concepts
  • The prison system in America is “an unjustifiable outrage”
  • America is a “perverse place, not the Land of the Free”
  • Doctors “make tons of money” off the poor
