At ACJ, almost every 2 out of of 3 people are Communist of some sort, and the only thing about Communism I disagree with - perhaps the only thing I could disagree with - is the position concerning the distribution of wealth. I'll assume for the rest of this short discussion that all Communists are rooting for an equitable distribution of wealth.
Now, a Communist professor, with the interests of Communism at heart, must always ensure that wealth is distributed equitably. Assuming that he is in the print medium department at the college, and if a student of the broadcast medium were to impress upon him some promise of excellence as a writer, then shouldn't it be against the Communist philosophy to say that the student should've picked print journalism?
The achievement of an equitable distribution of wealth - or any other resource analogous to its capability - would mandate that the student not be asked to enroll with the print medium department. If he or she did switch departments, wouldn't the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
