I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
literally zero chance thats happening without a revolution
That's the point. "Unrealistic" demands that everyone agrees with yet which cannot be achieved under capitalism are good and should be made more often.
no more half measures walter
A people's cuny?
Edit: Cuny is CU NY I guess, what's saying is that CU NY should belong to people. I'm correct?
Yes. They are demanding free tuition, open admissions, and a cop free campus.
CUNY was originally established as a free university aimed at (for the time) democratizing access to higher education. They had no tuition at all until 1975, and very very low tuition--especially for NYC residents--until fairly recently. It only started charging a bunch of money when all universities started getting taken over by financial vampires in the 2000s.
okay some wrecker had to have tacked on open admissions and zero tuition right lol
could've at least made it realistic like a scholarship for poor Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims or something
Yea seriously, my first thought as well
Thank you for means testing the revolutionary student demands
To be fair this isn't liberal means testing, this is perhaps more like making sure objectives are still achievable within the scope so far of student protests. Something like the reorganization of profitable university systems will require backing a communist party instead of just stopping the US sending arms to israel
adding unrelated out-of-scope demands is a known wrecker tactic if I'm recalling correctly. Although I suppose in this case the first items are equally unlikely to happen given how hard a line the US is running on opposition to anti-Zionism.
However, the actual demands from the organizers are more explicit and worded better: https://www.leftvoice.org/cuny-joins-universities-around-the-country-sets-up-gaza-solidarity-encampment/
