It is not black and white. A prof who quotes Karl or Weber can be
politically active. Academia is not an obstacle to being a political
activist. Few, but I can still count. I, myself, am a political activist.
Evidently, you have a dogmatic view of academics.

Revolutionaries and academics need to learn from each other, rather than
excluding each other.

After all, it is easy to talk about "making the ideas that masses own"
(whatever that means), while you are not part of the masses. When was the
last time you were a factory worker? keh.
