Liberal History Of United States

[Bush92]

Howard Zinn was a member of the Communist Party USA and was willing to do anything, write anything, to undermine the true American story of struggle against incredible odds, and strong self-reliance.

Zinn was an anarchist who was determined to reveal the whole truth concerning American Exceptionalism:
"Zinn came to believe that the point of view expressed in traditional history books was often limited. Biographer Martin Duberman noted that when he was asked directly if he was a Marxist, Zinn replied, 'Yes, I'm something of a Marxist.'

"He especially was influenced by the liberating vision of the young Marx in overcoming alienation, and disliked Marx's later dogmatism.

"In later life he moved more toward anarchism.[19]

"He wrote a history textbook, A People's History of the United States, to provide other perspectives on American history. The textbook depicts the struggles of Native Americansagainst European and U.S. conquest and expansion, slaves against slavery, unionists and other workers against capitalists, women against patriarchy, and African-Americans forcivil rights. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1981.[20]

"In the years since the first edition of A People's History was published in 1980, it has been used as an alternative to standard textbooks in many high school and college history courses, and it is one of the most widely known examples of critical pedagogy. The New York Times Book Review stated in 2006 that the book 'routinely sells more than 100,000 copies a year'".[21]

Conservatives are loathe to admit the historical reality that America depended on genocide and slavery to forge its national greatness.

Howard Zinn - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Zinn was a communist.

Do you have any proof of that claim?
Zinn never defined himself as a "communist" to my knowledge:
"Zinn described himself as 'something of an anarchist, something of a socialist. Maybe ademocratic socialist.'[62][63] He suggested looking at socialism in its full historical context as a popular, positive idea that got a bad name from its association with Soviet Communism.

"In Madison, Wisconsin, in 2009, Zinn said:

"'Let's talk about socialism. I think it's very important to bring back the idea of socialism into the national discussion to where it was at the turn of the [last] century before the Soviet Union gave it a bad name.

"'Socialism had a good name in this country.'

"'Socialism had Eugene Debs. It had Clarence Darrow. It had Mother Jones. It had Emma Goldman.'

"'It had several million people reading socialist newspapers around the country. Socialism basically said, hey, let's have a kinder, gentler society. Let's share things. Let's have an economic system that produces things not because they're profitable for some corporation, but produces things that people need.'

"'People should not be retreating from the word socialism because you have to go beyond capitalism.'"[64]

Howard made people aware of how US capitalism depended upon slavery and genocide during its formative years.

Why do conservatives deny that particular historical reality?

Zinn was a member of the party.

What's the source of your "proof" that Zinn was a member of the Communist Party? It's possible Howard affiliated with members of the party without being a member, is it not?

You can't read his FBI file? He and his wife marched annually in the May Day parade. He taught basic Marxism at CPUSA school in Brooklyn, NY.

"Capitalism has always been a failure for the lower classes. It is now beginning to fail for the middle classes."
- Howard Zinn...American Communist.

Capitalism is failing most Americans, including millions whose middle class jobs were outsourced to China; it is hardly necessary to be a Communist to notice that.

Class warfare is at the core of Marxist history.

The Revolution was a result of many factors but when finally they sat down to rewrite the Articles they formed a new type of government based on the Age of Enlightenment as was the Declaration of Independence. That age preached a new philosophy of governments, of man and the purpose of life. It was liberalism tempered by some realities. We are still in that age, and not likely to change. We no longer argue about slavery, or should women be allowed to vote but of gay marriage.

So conservatives don't work? I've noticed most liberals are on welfare.

According to the USMB lefties, the founders were lefties. That is, they tell us flat out that they're racist hypocrites.

They're not dishonest all the way.

Libtards are so stupid, there were no liberals at the founding of America.

Absolutely. They want an amorphous, egalitarian, Orwellian, society.

Millions of US conservatives have seen their middle class jobs outsourced to China since the Gipper came to town; do they deserve "welfare" from those who've increased their income from outsourcing?

Conservatives lack "Common Sense[1] ...a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–76 that inspired people in the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776.

"In clear, simple language it explained the advantages of and the need for immediate independence.

"It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

"It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places.

"Washington had it read to all his troops, which at the time had surrounded the British army in Boston.

"In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history.[2] "

Freedom rest to the right.

If Hitler was a lefty then why was he against liberals and union leaders? That's usually what the right wing (like those on this forum) does.

Hitler was against communists. They were muscling in on his interests. Still they are both left-wing.

First and foremost, Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky were/are a same-sex homosexual male couple.

The offspring of such a relationship was the biased distortion, "The people's history of the USA".

I think you'll find liberals rarely call anything evil. That's pretty much a Christian conservative thing.

Take out the word evil or personal judgements from all of it and thats exactly what happened. For example:
White Racists found the nation = yep
White racists steal land from Mexico = yep
White racist steal land from Indians = yep

When you don't have an argument you claim racism. A babies excuse for being wrong.
