Great collage, Brad.

Nikos's video at the end is a must-watch. "Either we claim the moral high ground, or we keep losing, as we deserve."

Brad, Thanks for this post. Zinn was an optional read in grad school, as the entire school was radical left — this was in the early 2000s, as my first retirement project.

Zinn who was talked about in several of my anthropology classes, and there was a good reason. Only one of my professors was more radical than Zinn.

I’m writing you because of the amazing paragraph:

“It is important for them also to make sure this artificial unity of highly privileged and slightly privileged is the only unity—that the 99 percent remain split in countless ways, and turn against one another to vent their angers,” Zinn states.”

This is the biggest lie Zinn told, which means there is more reason, and a better chance than EVER to push for radical capitalism. The lie is so blatant and so expertly hidden, it’s only because of my split background and career that it seems the whole world has missed.

I’m not kidding here. Zinn’s major contribution can be viewed an entirely positive light, as the conflict of a melo drama, just prior to the climax and resolution.

I am traveling, and expect to be home before Thanksgiving.

Tal and Matt are visiting us Dec 1, so I’d love to bring you in on this.

This sums up socialism and useful idiots.

Like Ann Coulter said, the left couldn’t win elections so they changed the electorate. NYC was never going to elect a conservative but this is the result of our country’s immigration policy
