I am amazed at how shocked you are that antioch types are scoffed at! Perhaps a little unfairly, but, here we are- its the

I’m not shocked. I’ve lived in this world a pretty long time. But you
seem to think there’s some wisdom in the position. I don’t. It’s a
right-wing impulse - to focus class resentment on liberals and
intellectuals. (And this impulse isn’t even fact-based: Dennis
Redmond has said several times that Antioch isn’t really a bastion of
rich hippies.) In the American case, Lenin was wrong - the
spontaneous consciousness of our working class is a laugh at the
fancy-pants consciousness. It hasn’t served them very well, has it?
