Global Research News Hour - Naomi Wolf and Howard Zinn
Noble — Mon, 11/03/2008 - 18:44
This show is from the Global Research News Hour on RBN (Republic Broadcasting Network) and includes Naomi Wolf and Howard Zinn. In a brief plug to RBN, it is the home of Steve Lendman and Michel Chossudovsky of GlobalResearch.ca, Alan Watt of cuttingthroughthematrix.com, John Stadtmiller, and many other alternative, liberty-loving voices.
Naomi Wolf is a well-known establishment liberal and feminist. In the last few years, she has very bravely stepped forward and spoken out on the fascism that she is seeing emerging in the American mind. I am not cutting on Naomi Wolf, and I salute her contribution to this struggle.
It is so wise to follow her up with Howard Zinn, author of People's History of the United States (an awakening book) and all-around great thinker. He provides the historical perspective that is so important. NOTHING that is happening now is new. NOTHING.
I apologize for the commercials... maybe one of these days I'll edit them out. I don't stress on this site that i have a day job (god help the world if I were to devote 24/7 to The Noble Lie and to, god forbid, REAL activism...) and that I keep myself very, very busy. Besides, RBN needs to get paid, and I guess at the moment that incldues hucking questionable products.

If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.
