It just feels difficult to have meaningful conversations on here sometimes. Like yes I dislike America, but I don’t need to act like nothing good has ever come out of it. Maybe China is better than America, but I don’t want Xi nuking American cities. I don’t think war is suddenly cool and good because Ukraine has some nazis in it. Not everyone I disagree with is some bumbling mass of idiocy, a lot of times we just differ on certain core values.

Idk where you are at, or all this sincere posting has fried my sarcasm-o-meter, but Micheal Parenti is incredibly obscure literature where I live.

You’re right about that yeah, I’ve never heard it referenced outside of online stuff.

In terms of theory though it’s very digestible. That’s what I meant by how deep it is in the leftist weeds. No previous Marxist reading required to understand that book.

Oh yeah, I agree but I can’t get people to read the fucking thing. Mostly because I can’t get them to read at all, outside of fiction.

Definitely true. Most sorta left brained people I know watch Hasan and that’s about as deep as they’ll go.
