Howard Zinn, RIP (1922-2010)


The Peoples' History of the United States regards the entire history of America as a Marxist style class struggle between the oppressors and the oppressed. These conflicts include White European settlers against Native Americans, blacks against slavers, labor unionists against capitalists, and women against the patriarchy. Among the villains in his narrative are Christopher Columbus, the founding fathers, most if not all of the presidents of the United States, and anyone who ever started a large business, including John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie.

Thank you for your great work. May he rest in peace.
