The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.

Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.

Those shantytowns were obnoxious and they worked.

I was only a kid at the time, so I didn't understand the whole thing. I thought the shantytown on the campus in my town looked cool and I wanted to live there.
