A professor of sociology, Wright has dedicated himself and his work – including the four classes he teaches – to his version of the Wisconsin Idea: promoting Marxism and the eradication of capitalism.
According to his biographical entry on the American Sociological Association website, Wright is the intellectual force behind the radically left-wing Havens Center at the University of Wisconsin.
“For 28 years he has headed the Havens Center at the University of Wisconsin,” the entry reads.
The MacIver Institute has previously documented the Havens Center’s efforts to promote political action and facilitate the political organization of labor unions and far-left groups in Wisconsin.
....In a 2012 interview with the New Left Project, Wright declared, “Capitalism is a central part of the problem, so of course ultimately it is necessary to be anti-capitalist.”
And anti-capitalist Wright is.
In a 2014 interview while visiting the University of Queensland Australia, Wright said the fall of the USSR in the early 1990s was an important moment for pro-Marx sociologists because it liberated them from having to defend the regime."
