What is important to note here is that Zinn evidently joined the Kremlin-controlled CPUSA not during the “Popular Front” era of the 1930s — when many idealists were seduced — but after the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in which Stalin cruelly and cynically sacrificed Poland to the Nazis. Zinn was a card-carrying Commie who advocated Marxism-Leninism after the Red Army’s ”Iron Curtain” occupation of Eastern Europe, after the treachery of the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss had been revealed, and even during the height of Stalin’s anti-Semitic “Doctors’ Plot” purge!
He's lied over and over, claiming not to have been a member.

Let us not forget that Russian school history books still state that Poland attacked the USSR and that the soviet invasion and the continuing annexation of part of Poland into Baelarus was "self defence".
I wonder how many more willing idiots there were, just like him? and how much of their poisonous work still pollutes our schools and colleges? or has even become "accepted wisdom"?

Soviets also shelled their own, the Russian village of Mainila, in order to claim the Finns had fired the shots and they could use that as an excuse to invade in the beginning of the Winter War.
Marja,
I trust that you have a similar welcome awaiting Putin, should he ever try to return you to that disfunctional and unhappy family that is the Russian empire.
I gather that there was another mass grave found in Vladivostok a week or so ago. Quite a small one, only about 600 or so skeletons, including a child thats skull had been crushed flat.
Socialism is supposed to give heaven on earth, but all I've ever heard lefties debating is who to put up against the wall first. What a lovely utopia.
