A Columbia professor blames capitalism for two world wars and slavery. “A Columbia University School of Social Work lecturer recently came to the defense of socialism by blaming capitalism for both world wars and ‘centuries of slavery,'” Nikita Vladimirov reports on Campus Reform. “Professor Anthony Zenkus, who frequently lectures on income inequality and poverty, made his anti-capitalist remarks in response to a conservative journalist who had condemned CNN for tweeting that Martin Luther King ‘was a socialist before it was cool.’”
