Capitol Campus: Seed-Bed For
Neo-Nazi Elitism?
by Roger Nielsen
There is a very dangerous current
of Elitism circulating at Capitol
Campus. It is widespread. Many
students here are going to college to
use their degrees as barriers between
themselves and those who are less
fortunate, those who couldn’t come.
Why is this happening? Perhaps
it is because many of those who are
here are from lower-middle class
homes, or middle-middle class homes.
They want a piece of the action, and
education has flamed the fires of am
bition.
Many of these college Elitists
learned these things from profes
sors here. The majority of the facul
ty are ostentatious status-seekers.
They are not above the rat-race; they
have created their own little rat-race
right here. If we want to talk about
the failures of our educational sys
tem, here is one example.
At any rate, the majority of stu
dents here do not see themselves as
one of the “people”, of the “public”,
of the “masses”.
Is this feeling natural? Baseball
players, actors, teachers, politicians,
servicemen, all see themselves as
separate and apart from the public.
They fail to realize that they are the
“people”. To inflict injury upon the
“people”, is to inflict injury upon
yourself.
Another reason that many students
see themselves as elite is because
they possess the ability to think, to
analize, to revolt against, to question.
True, the greatest majority of the
„human race does not question. They
have their habits, customs, traditions
governments, religions, and they
don’t question them. They simply

obey.
It is the duty of these academic
Elitists to encourage revolt among
the people. These Elitists may feel
an obligation to “take care” of the
people, only in a moral manner. This
idea, is of course what has screwed
up the human race. Instead of en
couraging people to think indepen
dently, to neutralize social pressures,
our group of Elitists would prefer to
control the people, they still want to
separate themselves, and power and
control is a good way to accomplish
this. So our group of Elitists will
become lawyers, professors, politic
ians, businessmen and social workers.
They will do their best to keep the
people in darkness; they will not at
tempt to encourage revolt, the ques
tioning process. The Elitists had
better take a look at themselves; they
are leading us to another Neo-Nazi
regime.
Spiro Agnew recently called for a
new wave of intellectual Elitism. He
decries students who attempt to solve
social problems. He refers to see a
great return to the ivory tower; he
seeks an end to the “relevant educa
tion”, in his own words. He does not
have to worry. Our students are do
ing this of their own free will.
If they chose to reverse this trend,
they could show the “people” how to
think for themselves. We would
then have no need for churches,
armies, rigidly-run schools, contem
ptuous social workers, caste systems,
master-slave relationships, racism,
and imperialism. Freedom and unity
is the ultimate destiny of the human
race. But our Elitists are holding us
back.
