If the intelligentsia, and new petite bourgeoisie and labor aristocracy tend to be reactionary and tend to align with the bourgeoisie, how do we get to keep the infrastructure that they run without them holding it hostage against the revolution?

    So if a scholar is also a marxist-leninist and teaches at an university they are automatically intelligentsia? Even if they support ML/Communist ideas?

    I assume it works like the Engels situation. He was part of the bourgeoisie, but acted like a class traitor as far as I understand.

    So, that professor imo would be part of the intelligentsia, but, if he actually teaches ML ideas, acts as a “traitor”. In this case, unlike Engels, the professor is not part of a different class and exists more as a faulty tool than a class traitor.

    Take this answer with a grain of salt though.

    I am not yet educated enough to even attempt to answer your second question😇
