A very good talk by Progressive historian Howard Zinn (d. 2010)--delivered 3 days after the 2008 presidential election. It deals with key themes in Zinn's writing (and social activism): social justice, war, economic power, the anti-democratic behavior of governments (including ours), propaganda, and the power of the people to organize and compel justice.
(Continued under "Credits")
Part 1 (this week) focuses on the inadequacy of politicians programs (notably President-elect Obamas) to bring about social justice--especially when those programs are compared with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Two major impediments to social justice in the U.S. are entrenched economic interests and the governments staggering expenditures on war.
Zinn spoke in Binghamton, NY, on November 8, 2008. Original 90-minute recording courtesy of Lyn Gerry and the Unwelcome Guests Collective (unwelcomeguests.net).
