parenti-hands

And those who demand instant perfection the day after the revolution, they go up and say “Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they gonna be allowed their newspapers and their radio programs, are they gonna be able to keep all their farms? The passion that some of our liberals feel, the day after the revolution, the passion and concern they feel for the fascists, the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists who are dumping and destroying and murdering people before.

Libs gonna lib

For examples in history, Black Reconstruction by DuBois is an excellent source of "if you let the fascist be fascist right after crushing them in a civil war, you're gonna have a bad time."

Good old Mike! This guy is so fucking good to listen to. We need more comrades with that perfect rhetoric.

I've been searching a lot for someone contemporary who can deliver a speech the same way Parenti could and I haven't really found anyone. Maybe it has something to do with the way academia has changed to be much more tightly controlled, leaving no room for dissidents.

Vijay Prashad is a great speaker

Even papa Parenti was kicked out of his faculty position for his opinions. Truly progressive movements have a history of being oppressed in the imperial core.

I also hope someone can rally the crowd like he used to be able too, but in the modern era.
