This might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while, but I feel really guilty about laughing since Parenti is being genuine.

Lmao, this reminds me of Dr. Melfi’s dork ex-husband on The Sopranos complaining about the depiction of Gabagool-Americans as gangsters in popular culture.
Parenti complains about that exact thing right before this paragraph, lol.

Honestly an awful lot of organised crime falls into this sort of reactionary category.
Not to mention If you’re talking stuff like loan sharks, racketeering and prostitution they’re going to be exploiting the working classes because that’s the group in society that police and criminal justice gives far less of a shit about.
