The Real Thanksgiving

If you're interested in the real history of Thanksgiving read this, editorial by Vin Suprynowicz.


The gist of the editorial is that the Plymouth Colony almost failed because the Pilgrims were communist. They had no incentive to work and didn't. It wasn't until the Governor of the colony gave plots of land to the colonists, allowed them to keep the fruits of their labor, and do with it as they pleased that it really took off. The lesson? Communism fails whenever and wherever it rears its ugly pug Go read it and capitalism rocks. Oh and Vin, when do we get a sequel to The Black Arrow?
