The University of Wisconsin Madison was widely considered to be a home for “leftists.”
To a considerable extent because of its “radical” History department. Which included professors such as William Appleman Williams * - “one of the 20th century's most prominent revisionist historians of American diplomacy, who has been called 'the favorite historian of the Middle American New Left'" (William Appleman Williams, Wikipedia), George Mosse - “best known for his studies of Nazism” (George Mosse, Wikipedia) and Harvey Goldberg - “an out gay activist, an anti-Viet Nam War activist and what he would call an "hors du parti" (out of the communist party) socialist” (Harvey Goldberg, Wikipedia).
In fact, honest, genuinely left professors are not allowed on American university campuses#, and the UW History Department simply was a breeding ground for more fake, secret political police-anointed “leftists.”
I did not know this reality when I started my graduate degree work in the Fall of 1960.
Studies on the Left...
“Studies on the Left was a journal of New Left radicalism in the United States published between 1959 and 1967 in Madison, Wisconsin, and later in New York City.
“Its authors, at first mostly graduate students at the University of Wisconsin, came to include most of the major figures of sixties radicalism, and not only from the United States. Writers for Studies on the Left included Martin J. Sklar, Murray Rothbard, Lee Baxandall, James Weinstein, Eleanor Hakim, Michael Lebowitz, Ronald Radosh, Gabriel Kolko, James B. Gilbert, Saul Landau, Lloyd Gardner, Eugene D. Genovese, Norman Fruchter, Staughton Lynd, Ronald Aronson, William Appleman Williams, Raymond Williams, and Tom Hayden.” (Studies on the Left, Wikipedia)

I got to know a few of our “Studies on the Left” heroes, but they, like the Slate “lefties” at UC Berkeley (see post 10 of this series), were a decidedly insular bunch and needed no “outsiders” to fill out their ranks. Strange.
Actually, not strange. After all, they were not “left” at all, but US secret police stooges filling a niche dictated by the American Gestapo.
The big guru was Marty Sklar. “Sklar was to the New Left what Chauncey Wright was to the Metaphysical Club at Harvard in the nineteenth century: a mercurial and electrifying thinker, and an inspiration to a coterie of friends and colleagues...” (Vanishing Act, The Nation Oct. 15, 2014). Like so many phony pseudo-left “theoreticians,” Sklar became a professor, at Northern Illinois University and then at Bucknell University.
I first met James Gilbert on my trip to Cuba (see post 15 of this series). On the way back, Jim invited me to his family's luxurious suburban Chicago home and assured me that he was “prepared to start screaming and shooting people” for the sake of revolution in the US. Radicalism? Fakery! Gilbert also became a big shot in the thoroughly bourgeois academic world: “Founder and Head, University of Maryland, Center for Historical Studies; Chair, Department of History...” (CURRICULUM VITAE, James B. Gilbert)
I have discussed Saul Landau in my previous post.
America's universities are simply loaded with fake “revolutionaries!”
Ronald Radosh is an ultra-reactionary illuminating case, in that he “switched” and showed his real political colors later in life. “Ronald Radosh (born 1937) is an American writer, professor, historian and former Marxist... Radosh was—like his parents—a member of the Communist Party of the United States of America until the Khrushchev thaw. Subsequently, he became a New Left and anti-Vietnam War activist. Later, Radosh turned his attention to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. After studying declassified FBI documents and interviewing their friends and associates, Radosh concluded that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were indeed guilty of spying for the KGB... Radosh is currently an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute** in Washington, D.C. and professor of history emeritus at the City University of New York, where he was a faculty member at both Queensborough Community College and the Graduate Faculty in History at CUNY.”
I wrote about Tom Hayden in our book Silent Terror: “One of the prominent 'radicals' of the 1960s and a founder of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was Tom Hayden. Hayden recently admitted that during the Vietnam War, he worked with US intelligence during his trips to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a well-publicized 'peace activist' (The Nation, Nov. 26, 1986). More recently, the reactionary politics of Hayden and his actress wife Jane Fonda were evident when they fervently supported Israeli aggression in Lebanon. Still posing as a liberal, Hayden criticized the Reagan Administration for not being sufficiently anti-communist. According to Hayden, 'anyone drinking Russian vodka... is washing down the blood of innocent people.'” ("Silent Terror: One family's history of political persecution in the United States» - arnoldlockshin.wordpress.com, p. 64)

Studies on the Left has long since kicked the bucket. So why discuss it? To illustrate another example of how the the United States Gestapo - the vicious, murderous and all-intrusive US lie, spy, criminal, provocation, subversion and regime change, terror, drug-runnning, torture, war and mass murder apparatus – operates. And how the US Gestapo's stooges are well rewarded.
The CIA FBI and their colossally evil cohorts are still around. Very much so. And they have unbreakable entanglements and implacable dictat with the universities of California, Wisconsin*** etc. etc.
And not only with the “institutions of higher learning.”

ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA).
