It's a beautiful day on campus, and the lecture hall is packed with students eager to learn from their professor, Dr. Jorben Shapeterson. As he steps up to the podium, he clears his throat and begins his lecture:
"Good afternoon, class. Today, I want to talk about actual Marxism, the righteous struggles of the working class, and Marxist anthropology and humanism. Now, some of you may be surprised to hear me discussing these topics, but I must confess that I have been turned around on these issues by my dear friend and colleague, Leo Kofler."
The class murmurs with surprise, some students raising their eyebrows in disbelief. But Jorben Shapeterson continues undeterred, launching into his lecture on Marxism.
"You see, I used to think that Marxism was all about forced equality and the abolition of private property. But that's not the whole story. Marxists also believe in the liberation of the working class and the struggle against exploitation and oppression. And let me tell you, these are righteous struggles that we should all support."
The class is visibly intrigued by this new side of their professor. Jorben Shapeterson then delves into Marxist anthropology, explaining that Marxists view humans as social creatures whose consciousness is shaped by their material conditions.
"Marxists believe that our ideas and values are not inherent but are instead a product of our social and economic circumstances. And this means that if we want to create a better society, we need to change those material conditions. It's not enough to simply change people's minds. We need to change the system itself."
The class nods along, some students taking notes for the first time in the semester. Jorben Shapeterson then turns to Marxist humanism, emphasizing that Marxists believe in the inherent dignity and worth of all individuals, regardless of their social status.
"Marxists believe that everyone should have access to the basic necessities of life and the opportunity to develop their full potential. And this means fighting against the structures of oppression and exploitation that prevent people from realizing their full potential."
The class erupts into applause, impressed by their professor's newfound understanding of Marxism. Jorben Shapeterson concludes his lecture with a plea for his students to engage in critical thinking and to challenge their own assumptions and biases.
"Remember, class, it's important to be open to new ideas and to question your own beliefs. I never thought I'd be a Marxist, but here I am. So, keep an open mind, and who knows where your intellectual journey may take you."
As Jorben Shapeterson steps down from the podium, Leo Kofler enters the lecture hall and gives him a knowing smile. Together, the two professors leave the hall, ready to continue their discussions on Marxism and the struggles of the working class.
