Zinnquotes the historian Richard Hofstader’s conclusion that American’s political parties, Democrats and Republicans, have always had a “range of vision… bounded by the horizons of property and enterprise… They have accepted the economic virtues of capitalist culture as necessary qualities of man… That culture has been intensely nationalistic.” The values embraced here are very conservative: capitalist (free-market) and intensely nationalistic (patriotic) which is often used to justify war. While the presidency of democrat Jimmy Carter adhered to (went along with) this worldview, we will see today how Republican presidents Reagan and Bush move the country even deeper into the Conservative worldview.
