Cancel Culture: Tool of the Maoists
By F.R. Brown October 8, 2020
Cancel culture is quickly moving toward its logical end as an unabashed, even celebrated, tool of cultural Marxists, who are keen to repress views outside the accepted orthodoxy of the day.
Those who initially promoted campus shout-downs and dis-invitations have escalated their assault on academic freedom. They now employ threats of violence, intimidation tactics, and mob “justice†to silence those they label “oppressors.â€
Dr. Bruce Gilley, professor of political science at Portland State University, is the most recent victim of this brand of academic vigilantism. Dr. Gilley was to be the co-editor of a new series published by Rowman & Littlefield’s academic press, Lexington Books, titled Problems of Anti-Colonialism. He also wrote the first book of the series, The Last Imperialist, which presents a rigorous scholarly study of Sir Alan Burns, a British administrator of several colonies.
