In response to private correspondence, I should have added some other
categories:
progressive adacemics (tenured and non-tenured) who are isolated from
colleagues and access to big grants and publications in "prestigious
journals" as a result of the stands they have taken and who, for
their efforts, have managed to rack up extensive FBI files and have
suffered other forms of retribution;
nominally progressive academics who walk the line between nominally
progressive positions and "mainstream" acceptance by attempting to
turn Marx etc into neo-neo classicals and/or incorporate/legitimate
neoclassical metaphysics withing nominally Marxian paradigms and
analytical approaches;
academics who know something is worng at their institutions but who
feel they lack the power and numbers to make any difference and feel
that hanging on to their own particular niches can make more
significant contributions than taking on no-win fights
etc. etc.
