My first true experience with Marxism occurred during my time as a student at the University of California at Berkeley.

Free speech is now on life support at UC Berkeley.Once known as the home of the Free Speech Movement, Berkeley has since disintegrated into a safe space for a violent and dangerous ideology that cracks under challenge.

Intimidation, harassment and physical attacks await the brave studentswho dare to challenge the campus left-wing establishment.

I was stalked, chased, punched, spat on and routinely harassed for being a conservative student and activist at Berkeley.

Here are a few headlines from various media outlets:

  • Two men viciously attacked a trump supporter while he walked to class
  • Vandal calls for beheading , lynching of Berkeley campus conservative group
  • UC Berkeley conservatives targeted following riot on campus
  • Anonymous group plans to dox Berkeley conservatives, threatens careers.
Marxist activists have struck a dagger into the once beating heart of collegiate intellectualism. they have infected its body with crudeness and vulgarity, replacing thoughtful argumentation with violence and intimidation.

The UC Berkeley administration even imposed a series of unconstitutional restrictions to prevent conservative leaders (Horowitz, Coulter, Shapiro) from speaking on campus.

They refused to run my op-ed in the campus newspaper.

Here is a video from my appearance on the subject on FoxNews in 2017.
