Professor says we don't need the wealthy, just their wealth

Professor says we don't need the wealthy, just their wealth
By Eric Utter

Nick French, a philosophy instructor at the University of California-Berkeley, is teaching a summer course titled "Individual Morality and Social Justice," in which he argues that wealthy people are inherently immoral, no matter what they do with their money.  They are evil even if they donate much of their wealth to worthy causes.

French, in a recent Jacobin Magazine op-ed, argued that people should "dispossess the benevolent rich of their ill-gotten gains."  You can't make this up.  Jacobins were members of a "democratic" club established in Paris in 1789.  They were the most radical and ruthless of the political groups formed in the aftermath of the French Revolution, carrying out the Terror of 1793–1794.  They "dispossessed" France's rich of their money...and their heads.  Now some academic clown named French wants to see history repeated in today's America.  The Jacobin also states that French is a member of the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America.  Well, blow me down.

Without the wealth-makers there will be no wealth to steal.

According to UCB, this guy is working on his dissertation.   He's not a professor.  There's a difference between professor and instructor, which I'm pretty sure AT pointed out more than once over the past decade.

From the first sentence of AT's article, in the OP quote:

This is the EXACT same argument that was made against the Jews in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Mild hyperbole//click-bait. Is there a reason this is, apparently, a big sticking point for you?

I don't like dishonesty.  And I'm pretty sure AT pointed out at least once that 0 was an instructor, NOT a professor.
