literally zero chance thats happening without a revolution

[-] trot@hexbear.net 36 points 6 months ago

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.

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?

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yes. They are demanding free tuition, open admissions, and a cop free campus.

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

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

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

Yea seriously, my first thought as well

[-] jack@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Thank you for means testing the revolutionary student demands

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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/
