  • Communists have consistently been skeptical of student movements because of their naivety and class dynamics (usually petty bourgeois). They fall apart quickly, they lack the capacity to seriously organize with a consistent line and are easy to coopt because they rarely have robust leadership or committees to appeal to.

    Incidentally, this is the same basic formula for NGO-based protests and liberal false catharsis protests and even many “anarchist” movements (keeping in mind most self-labeled Western anarchists are not serious and arguably not anarchists).

    It’s not really better most places, including pre-socialist imperialist ones. Those American student protesters made bad deals with admins and shut themselves down when summer started. Many were coopted by petty bourgeois muslim student associations using tokenizing IDpol, then shut down for petty bourgeois concessions.
