Today's identity and 'privilege' obsessions are just a perversion of Marx.

And the impact on the university is just as pernicious: The subjecting of truth and speech to ideology, the balkanization of the campus into ever smaller bands of the oppressed with ever more exquisitely tuned grievance pecking orders.

It's showing up in a flood of juvenile hysteria and bigotry at Harvard, Wellesley, Princeton, Rutgers, Brandeis, Azusa Pacific, Dartmouth and so on and so forth ad infinitum.

They really are barbarians, gang. Examples at the link.
