Seriously how has Parenti become so popular so suddenly???
People have been posting his shit all over tiktok and it always blows up.
Specifically the clip of him talking about “”poor”” countries and how there is really no such thing as a poor country, just an exploited one

People’s material conditions have deteriorated to the point where they’re looking outside of mainstream politics for solutions.
Because the Chomsky, Port Huron statement, SDS bullshit that we’ve been trying for 60 years has produced nothing but L after L after L. People are giving Leninism another look.
Yeah, we need a permanent purge of anyone who still associates with that garbage.
Perhaps, but “Blackshirts and Reds” is a book that explicitly defends the USSR, there is a pretty large gap between it and Chomsky’s more popular books.
I mean it helps that parenti spends the first chapter dunking the fuck out of the fascists and the capitalists.
And when you got some really juicy stuff like that as your opening salvo, people are gonna be more willing to dig into your stuff, especially when your work actually has a nuanced as fuck opinion on stuff you never read about in H.S.
Being auth-left is actually acceptable again in the US, for the first time since the 70s.
