The bomb that annihilated Nagasaki killed American POWs and Catholic Nuns as well as all the men,women & children at or near GZ. Go to GZCenter.org to find out how you can fight nuclear weapons that will kill indiscriminately and will return radiation to whomever launches, thru global wind patterns, on there own populations. Like Fukashima that poisons PNW of America as well as No. tier states & Europe we are lied to about amounts of radiation being distributed on our planet. Govs. lie, cheers
I’m totally with you dude, Lenin was truly destructive of the ideas. To create the basis for a massive workers movement and then believe they haven’t a clue what they’re doing is not conducive to winning a revolution.
He was a World War 2 bomadier, an integral part of the Civil Rights Movement, who saw and participated in some of the most important events of the 20th Century.. And you think he is naive?
The Russian revolution was stillborn. It died the moment the democratic Soviets were annulled. I have zero problem in condemning Lenin, Stalin, Stalinism, all of it. Because after 1920 none of it was Socialism and yet it carried the tag through several decades, doing a great deal of damage in the process. Lenin was the single greatest enemy of Socialism in the 20th Century.
A people would need to understand Socialism in order to reject it. I’ve rarely if ever met an American who did. The American idea of discussing the merits of Socialism was McCarthyism, that in itself tells you quite a bit.
We well may be headed toward destruction, that dosnt mean we wouldnt be under socialism. The first requirement of a society is that it runs under a system that people want. They dont want socialism, and i dont believe they will, because its been discredited. Im sure you wont accept this and thats fine. We may not know exactly what drives power structures, but im sure the best way to understand it is to use evolution as starting point.
Howard Zinn = one of the greatest anarchists of our era.

It’s totally a zero-sum game. Always will be.

The bastards wanted to test their Napalm, I bet.
Probably sent teams in to check on the bodies.
AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE
Agreed.
Well said.
So Zinn was the first man to ever roast people with napalm?
As ludicrous as it sounds,There is only one way to end war.
Insurrection

You’ve clearly missed the point and it has gone sailing over your head.
