This "small groups of students" is usually the future elite, so yes, they are pretty powerful.

Not to mention that the worldview of the academia trickles down to the masses through media and journalism, so whoever control the universities controls the future.

That's not me saying this, anyway, it's in the Port Huron Statement.

Neoliberalism doesn't changes this, as political power is above economical power, see companies toeing the SJW party line and hiring diversity consultants as example.

>SJWs aren't physically violent, for the most part, no. Their world isn't one of secret police and summary executions

They outsource the violence to street gangs. The 1960s was clear about that, with radical students inviting thugs to college campus in order to impose their desired reforms, see also Tom Wolfe's work about the love affair of U.S. liberals with the Maoist Black Panthers urban guerrilla group.

It didn't used to be like this though, universities were evenly divided between liberals and conservatives until leftists made an alliance with street gangs, took armed control of campus and demanded the hiring of dozens of other leftists and expelled every non-leftist.

Now it's easy to say "hurr durr leftists are intelligent because all educated people are leftists". I mean, do you really believe that control over the ideological state apparatuses is meritocratic and still call yourself a Marxist?

Praxis theory deliberately eschews being right for being useful to the revolutionary movement. It's not about having the right answer, it's about controlling the propagation of answers so that your own theory comes of as the right one.

Considering how Marxists dominate the academia and the entire educational establishment, it works.

>When people say things like “the leftists have taken over the university” they usually don't mean that they restructured the physical and bureaucratic nature of the institution

But they actually did just that in the 60s. They literally performed armed invasions of university campus and demanded these reforms and they got it.

Biopower is a drug lord entering your house and raping your daughter.

The 1960s killed rightism in the intelligentsia.

Right-wing politics were purged from universities in the 1960s.

Pic related, this is how marxists took control.
