I disagree Greg. Calling poofessrr Daly a fascist might be hyperbole, but it’s not intimidation. Personally, I think Professor Daly was within his rights to say what he did, but coming from a poofessrr his email might be something that could be intimidating, and it’s certainly something that makes me think less of him as a scholar and more of him as an ideologue.The important thing here is to note that, even though Daly was within his rights, technically, to send the email (presumably he just hit reply to a campus-wide email the student sent out), it was the sort of thing that is obviously going to cause some bad feelings no matter what.Calling the group “anti-people” is pretty foolish, and fallacious on many levels. Mr. Daly also seems totally willing to engage in fallacy in attributing deaths to “CAPITALISM,” the US, and his other targets of interest. Attributing a hundred-million deaths to “Progressive” social movements is also eliding reality / oversimplifying, but in a way that expresses a much firmer grasp on causality than Mr. Daly does. The basic thing is, that if Mr. Daly perceived the students to be well-intentioned humanitarians who believed Communism/Socialism were ills to be corrected, he could have responded to them in a way that tried to respond to the claims the group made and emphasized the social ills solved by Socialism/Communism. Instead, Mr. Daly seemingly could not conceive of these students as “pro-people” individuals who wish good for others above whatever political system they may believe in. That reflects an intellectual narrowness on Mr. Daly, and a willingness to perceive political opponents as enemies of “people” as a whole.Personally, I’m partial to Monarchism, but I can see why people like Communism, Democracy, and so on without needing to turn them into Morlocks. As far as I can see, neither the posters the campus group posted ever implied anything about the people who practiced Socialism/Communism (other than calling attention to an uncomfortable reality that proponents of Socialism/Communism need to grapple with). And again, while we may be hyperbolizing Mr. Daly’s response here as being an example of fascism (ie, intolerant and intimidating), it’s Mr. Daly who saw fit to poison the environment at the college. He can assuage criticism quite easily by expressing himself next time in a way that doesn’t presume the students are “anti-people.”
