  • Howard Zin was Democracy embodied. A man who exposed the true story of America and the revolutionaries who shaped it. He reminded us of the adage, "Democracy is not a spectator Sport"

  • @CWSmith1982 - First thing I read in your comment was that Howard Zinn was a Marxist. I knew the rest of it would be bullshit and immediately stopped reading. Zinn was a self described democratic socialist, or libertarian socialist, or an anarchist. These strings of political philosophy are as different from Marxism as the conservative sources that told you he was a Marxist.

    We are not talking about another system where a few dominate the majority. We are talking about the REAL Democracy! the power of the people, where people have the opportunity to choice and live better

    What we call democracy now is totalitarism, like Stalin, the Control of the mass media and the mind of people, the corporative elite

  • @d3reilly

    Wow jaja, yeah youre very indoctrinated for the system my friend. You have memorized the Official version of history! What you call democracy is totalitarism! They sell you the illusion of freedom in the TV and media. Stalin = Reagan = Mao = Bush , all of them are serial killers, but with different methods of killing and opressing people

  • "Marxist indoctrination?" "...burning in hell with his friends Mao and Stalin?" I don't agree with Zinn on many points but I'm sorry the above quotes are simply reactionary bullshit and the kind of labeling that prevents progressive thinking and legislation in this country. Don't forget for a minute that there is a vast difference between American progressivism (the Roosevelts) and the totalitarian "Communist" regimes of Stalin or Mao.

  • aaaahh yes, another Marxist indoctrination project! Before you flame, the trailer doesn't show the bad of this documentary
