Instead of adding words from Supreme Justice Sotomayor to those of Woodrow Wilson, it would have been more appropriate to add words from Karl Marx, since Princeton has evolved from its original Calvinism through the Liberalism and Progressivism of Wilson to the Marxism of the Princeton faculty since the 1960s and 1970s. Sotomayor is a pale version of real Marxism since she dissolves it with ethnic nationalism and identity politics, something Marx would have abhorred. He would doubtless consider her a bourgeois ideologist or perhaps what Lenin called a “useful idiot.”
