We have mass murders here. Authoritarian governments can be capitalist just as much as anyone else. Do you not think Putin is a capitalist?
No, when capitalism runs amock the workers leave, the companies fail, and the world continues on its merry way. When a socialist country runs amock tens of millions of people are murdered because they no longer agree with their socialist masters. Huge difference.
I really think you need to reassess what we capitalists have done in other nations before you make such comments.,
I think you need to read more than howard zinn for your historical knowledge.
That would be "Howard Zinn, communist."
More like H.Z. progressive scum, supporter of mass murder.
No, Communist.
Few know that Zinn was an avowed communist who hated America.
"On July 30, 2010, the FBI released one file with three sections totaling 423 pages on Howard Zinn.... The Bureau noted Zinn’s activities in what were called Communist Front Groups and received informant reports that Zinn was an active member of the CPUSA; .... file discloses that several reliable informants in the party identified Zinn as a member whoattended party meetings as many as five times a week.
What’s more, one of the files reveals that a reliable informant provided a photograph of Zinn teaching a class on “Basic Marxism” at party headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951. A participant in the class said that Zinn taught that “the basic teaching of Marx and Lenin were sound and should be adhered to by those present.”...
...pro-Castro activism and support for radical groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Progressive Labor Party (PLP), Socialist Workers Party (SWP), and Black Panther Party. Much of the latter was in connection with Zinn’s support for a communist military victory in Vietnam....
.... joined the Kremlin-controlled CPUSA not during the “Popular Front” era of the 1930s — when many idealists were seduced — but after the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in which Stalin cruelly and cynically sacrificed Poland to the Nazis.
Zinn was a card-carrying Commie who advocated Marxism-Leninism after the Red Army’s ”Iron Curtain” occupation of Eastern Europe, after the treachery of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss had been revealed, and even during the height of Stalin’s anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot” purge!"
