    Parenti has a way with his words. The first time I learnt about socialism/ML was thrue his work. His simple and to the point explanation help me change from a conservative/libral to a socialist.

      He surely has, “Blackshirts and Reds” really got me thinking back in the days.

        Blackshirts and reds should be required reading for any commie. I would argue it has as much importance of anything written by marx or lenin or mao or stalin. It has an ability to open peoples eyes quicker and more completely than anything else. It is always my first recomendation to any new leftist

      Damn that’s quite the switch! I was dem/liberal but Parenti was about half my introduction as well and I agree, he has a way with words!
