Were young liberals influenced by the lies of the communistic "A Peoples History of the United States"

Answer 1

It's like a snowball effect. Some high-positioned people obviously bought into that tripe and influenced a lot of people with the simple minded viewpoint it espouses.

Unlike the gullible sheep who always see a conspiracy afoot whenever the creation of wealth is mentioned, it would take someone with a far greater intellect to understand (or at least appreciate) the writings Dinesh D'Sousa.

For example, every Liberal denounces the supposed evils of colonialism. They will cite with absolute assuredness that colonialism made the West rich at the expense of the colonized nations. That simply is not true. If you don't agree, read Dinesh's article shown in the link below. Here is an exerpt:

"Colonialism was the transmission belt that brought to Asia, Africa, and South America the blessings of Western civilization. Many of those cultures continue to have serious problems of tyranny, tribal and religious conflict, poverty, and underdevelopment, but that is not due to an excess of Western influence; rather, it is due to the fact that those countries are insufficiently Westernized. Sub-Saharan Africa, which is probably in the worst position, has been described by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan as "a cocktail of disasters." That is not because colonialism in Africa lasted so long, but because it lasted a mere half-century. It was too short a time to permit Western institutions to take firm root. Consequently, after their independence, most African nations have retreated into a kind of tribal barbarism that can be remedied only with more Western influence, not less. Africa needs more Western capital, more technology, more rule of law, and more individual freedom."

America 's Plutocracy preys on the weaker and less fortunate members of society. Since America 's founding, they have leveraged their economic power to dominate the government and the media, the vehicles through which they advance their avaricious agenda. In early American history, they employed an imperialistic foreign policy to ensure the expansion of US boundaries and interests. Along the way, they virtually annihilated the Native American population. Once they had attained as much of the North American continent as they were able, they used "Manifest Destiny" and the "Communist threat" as rationalizations to invade other nations (i.e., The Philippines) support ruthless dictators in other nations (Augusto Pinochet in Chile) who have tortured and killed millions. Recently, legislation favoring corporations over workers and consumers has sharply diminished the power of labor unions and opportunities for small entrepreneurs, while historically, corporations have maimed and killed their employees and their customers with hazardous working conditions and unsafe products. The wealthy elite class has dominated American politics via dynasties like the Bush clan and the Kennedy family. The predominance of regressive over progressive taxes has virtually guaranteed that the majority of America 's riches remains in the hands of the Plutocrats. Throughout American history, the Plutocracy has severely victimized black Americans, through enslavement and through ongoing gross social injustices. Latin American immigrants face open discrimination for their language and cultural differences while armed vigilantes calling themselves "Minute Men" now patrol the US-Mexican border. Other racial minorities, some religious groups, Gays and the disabled also face discrimination and suppression of rights at the hands of the white, "straight", "Christian" Plutocracy dominating the government and media in the United States .

Howard Zinn is hardly a communist. His views are similar to Teddy Roosevelt's. A fair deal is not communism.
