    Zinn seems to be... (none / 0) (#3)

    ... one of those frustrating sorts who recognizes a contradiction, but offers a disastrous solution.  
    This issue of keeping "property" an inviolate personal right indeed clashed with slavery.  Even today, we hesitate to admit that the same concepts and arguments used to end the slaveowners' legal title to their slaves are those used today in support of broad "takings" powers by the government (Kelo decision, anyone?) Unfortunately, Zinn uses this as an excuse to attack the overall concept of private property.  Sort of like a doctor treating an inflamed appendix that threatens the health of your entire intestinal system by leaving the appendix, and removing your intestines.
