      Eh, generally not a fan of Parenti, as he gives far too much of a pass to authoritarian marxist-leninists regimes for my comfort.

      Thanks for the going through the legwork to share the link, though.

        This is what Parenti would say to that. 3:15 for the relevant part. But the whole story is good. I hope you open yourself up to some more historical materialism and not discount someone because they understand the history more than what you’ve been told.

        Parenti definitely doesn’t give a pass like you say. But he understands the material circumstances in which revolution occurs. What you call “authoritarian” might me seizing lands from slave plantations in Cuba. I’m not sure exactly what you mean. But I really think you should more reading from him not less. Especially, if you haven’t even read his most iconic book. (The one I recommended). Have you actually read anything from him?
