opposing the mundt-nixon bill is an affirmation of the 1st, 4th, 14th amendments. for all intents and purposes, this action is incredibly patriotic and devoid of exploitation. this has nothing to do with communism.

having a photo of zinn ‘teaching a class on Communist doctrine’ is the dumbest thing i’ve ever read. ‘clincher’? not even close. was he holding a sign that read ‘i’m a commie teaching communism’? i think not. also, i’m in a political ideologies class this semester, and guess what part of our study material is… communism. does that mean that my professor is a communist, or that we’re learning how to become communists? absolutely not.

then you list wikipedia as a source and we’re still supposed to take you seriously.

‘Zinn admittedly associated with numerous groups that the FBI considered to be communist, and the bureau cited several informants who identified Zinn as a member of the Communist Party.’ hearsay does not hold up in a court of law. the fbi (the organization that killed black panther members and did nothing to protect blacks and civil rights activists) considered some of the groups he ‘associated’ with to be communist, and there were informants. this is mind-numbingly not credible.

‘One reason that McCarthy’s was sometimes unable to publicly substantiate his accusations was that he relied on secret information passed along by the FBI.’ – because it was bullshit.

the kirschner obituary is somewhat compelling in that it’s meaningless conjecture. try again. even if it’s the same person, you’re passing off unsubstantiated propaganda as evidence of something that doesn’t exist.

then you conclude with this:
‘What we see in all this, then, is how Zinn’s career forms a major thread in a rope that connects ’60s radicalism back to the Stalinism of the 1940s and ’50s.’ really? you haven’t expressed anything that even remotely makes that connection.

‘Zinn was a consistent advocate of Marxist-Leninist doctrine [not true]throughout his career, and it is amazing that his teachings — his anti-American history – are so popular nearly two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union. America won the Cold War, but the Communists won the campuses.’

he was not an advocate of
marxist-leninist’ doctrine. read ‘passionate declarations’ chapter ‘communism and anit-communism’ to see how he outright denounces stalin, lenin, trotsky behavior after the bolshevik revolution. his teachings aren’t anti-american. your ideological bias is so skewed it hurts. have you read an american history text book? he contrasts a different perspective of american history while condemning that it’s been largely ignored by academic institutions. academia is so far right wing i’m not sure how you missed it. except that you cite david horowitz (the guy who said ron paul and his supporters are anti-american, while glenn beck called them terrorists). pathetic. your misunderstanding of communism is laughable. howard zinn is definitely a socialist and readily admitted that, but a communist advocate of the soviet union… not even close. i feel sorry for anyone who buys into this.
