His rhetoric was simpler than that. He was anti-money-grubbing-indian-killing-black-people-killing-chinese-killing-immigrant-killing-worker-killing-racist-corporate-capitalist-unregulated-opportunist. I'm not totally sure what that has to do with marxism or communism.
- yummyfajitas 17y agoHe was only against Indian-killing when white people did it. He described Indians as "innocent" before white people came to America. I guess Indian-killing is ok when other Indians do it.
- swannodette 17y agoWow, upvotes on this? You're trying to compare local tribal warfare to continent spanning state-condoned genocide. Did you actually read any Zinn?
- yummyfajitas 17y agoDo you have any evidence to back up the claim that there actually was continent spanning state condoned genocide? (Hint: there wasn't. There were all sorts of local wars of conquest. They amounted to diddly squat, however, in comparison to smallpox, which was completely unavoidable.)
- swannodette 17y agoSpoken like a true revisionist imperialist. "Since the Indians are dead anyway lets monetize this land which was never monetized before and lets get our government to back us up."
