Whatever happened to West Point’s Commie Cadet?

When last we heard from communist adherent and fan of murderous totalitarian Che Guevara Spenser Rapone, he was drummed out of the service under other-than-honorable conditions for his “protest” at his West Point Graduation. That’s taxpayer money on a first-class education well spent. You’ll recall he had been reported years earlier for anti-American posts.  The system failed us.

So here we are, three years later, and we get word from Poetrooper on the current employment of former 2nd Lieutenant Rapone. He’s apparently thriving in academia. Not surprising since modern collegiate academia has been host to many communist sympathizers and even outright far-left domestic terrorists (i.e. Bill Ayers and others).

University of Texas History Department Hires The West Point “Commie Cadet”

Back in 2018, images of Spenser Rapone at his West Point graduation went viral.

One picture showed him in uniform, opening his shirt to show an of Che Guevara. In another, he raises his fist and flips his cap to reveal the message: “Communism will win.”

Well, now Rapone has been hired at the University of Texas in Austin in the History Department’s New School for Social Research.

This is who will be indoctrinating the students, turning them into the next generations of communists & socialists.

Check out the University of Texas College of Liberal Arts (heavy emphasis on “liberal”) website for Rapone’s bio. There’s an e-mail for the man listed there, which I’ll trust you’re all mature enough to avoid sending a message to.

At the link, you can look over Rapone’s CV, which includes links to his Marxist screeds dressed up as academic papers. His insights include things such as “Despite years of supposed progress, both technological and social, we remain slaves to capital, subjected to a dull, daily routine within a prescribed division of labor.”

There’s also a link in Rapone’s CV to an interview he did about his experiences with Russia Times. I have read the transcript so you don’t have to. He laments every aspect of the Army, specifically the Airborne Infantry and Ranger Regiments, where he “Saw a culture that glorified violence and a hyper sense of masculinity.” Where he was not free to express his “moral complexity.” During Ranger Assessment and Selection Phase (RASP, where perspective new Rangers are put through the paces) he didn’t like how they had to memorize the life and times of a fallen Ranger. Apparently he would have preferred to learn about a Ranger who lived to retirement instead of one who died for his country. That’s where I couldn’t go any further; five minutes into a nearly 27 minute interview.

It’s most interesting that after seeing the horrible state of the US Army that Rapone accepted the appointment to West Point. Apparently perpetuating American imperialism (his words) was worth it for some free college.
