The Thanksgiving Lie

"The Pilgrims landed in 1620 and founded the Colony of New Plymouth in what is now Massachusetts. They had a difficult first winter, but survived with the help of the Indians. The usual story in the history textbooks relates how in the fall of 1621, the grateful Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving Day and invited the Indians to a big Thanksgiving-Day feast with turkey and pumpkins." This is the usual type of item published about the beginning of this country, and it predictably ignores the reason why they had a "difficult first winter." That reason, so ignored, even in history books, is that they were operating under a "communistic" system whereby nobody owned anything and the work anybody did was for "the good of the colony." Tell me, how does that differ from Marxism or communism? Collectivism is the basic name for it, whatever anybody else might call it. This system, which caused many deaths just in that colony, is still being pushed onto us today. They call it "socialism" and want us to accept it. (Fred E. Foldvary,)
