"Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice." — Michael Parenti
Think of him as a post new left radical, Much of Parenti's case was built on the thinking of a student vanguard during the late 60's. Understand this linkage & it makes him all the more impressive because the movement he is part of was so prescient in anticipating what conditions in America would become. Son Christian has a book,LOCKDOWN AMERICA with the same kind of class analysis applied to US prisons. The Parentis represent a critical modus that stretches back to Herbert Marcuse and the 60's
Brilliant stuff, Michael Parenti has done so much to keep socialism alive in an often hostile environment and I agree that his perseverence and determination is nothing short of heroic.
None of us can afford anything in this Capitalist society. Except for the top fraction of the top 1% of the population who own over way more than half of the wealth.

Dr. Parenti is a true hero. Right up there with Dr. Chomsky and Dr. Zinn. Thank you so much for this post!

Parenti's superb. I wish there were more full-length videos of his speeches. I'd buy some, but I can't afford 'em.

Agreed. Very articulate and insightful. Exactly the sort of material that will never reach Faux News.
