""Many insurrectionary anarchists are serving jail time, lost jobs and face expulsion from school," he said. "They have truly put their bodies on the line. While their actions are laudable, it should be asked, what purpose do they serve? As anarchists, these insurrectionists explicitly reject the formation of a revolutionary party capable of leading the working class to power.

""Dr. Alter's dismissal exposes a flagrant disregard for the system's own policies," chapter president Aimee Villarreal"
