And all he taught was Marxism and Leninism/Stalinism. No other political/economics were mensioned, I dont mind if they teach it there just needs to be balance. Teach capitalism as a sociological unit, then facism and the others.
What he SHOULD have done was do sociology and not economics. Something he never did.

this sounds really strange to me. you seem to have a lot of concepts all jumbled around in your posts. I mean, you don't really answer my questions. I'm trying to think of some alternate information you should have been exposed to, but I'm not quite certain you have a firm idea of what it should have been. maybe that's all there is to intro to sociology. but if that's they way he taught it, it certainly sounds like a piss poor professor, regardless of political affiliation. I'm actually inclined to suspect he wasn't a leftists--most of us are pretty damn careful how to present the material in respect to the ways in which people believe certain concepts they haven't taken the time to study to be discredited, such as, and the inability to disentangle historical materialism from stalinism.
well, anyway, that's odd. please post, email, or provide a link to his syllabus/contact info. I have no idea what was going on in this course and I'm curious to ask. Now, you say this is a he. Earlier you mentioned that you had a problem with a she professor. Are all of the professors in sociology so slanted they can't teach in your view? Are you a sociology major?
If you don't mind, which texts were you using in your course? Did you read them, and were they as slanted biased as the professor toward a marxist perspective?
if they weren't, what did he say when you raised points from the texts? did he ridicule you in front of your peers?
