Zinn is an anarchist, but of a different stripe than you and I — more of a Chomsky type I believe. I finished reading one of his books recently, quite worthwhile, though I myself would have laid emphasis in different directions or on different aspects at times.
No, Lew definitely runs a big tent. The balance tends toward the paleo-libertarian side of things, though, at least in my view, and so seeing Zinn come across was a bit of a surprise

I might be out of school here, but LRC is a lot more big tent than most any other libertarian website.
Or is there a site I am missing out on?
