Mailbox crew!
The fragile cd 1 is just fantastic depreasion music all around.
I offered :)
My cat wants to eat the rich. But she is also afraid to go outside.
Yes like that! Many comrades have sent me this podcast, which is unfortunately incomplete (this lecture is not on there for instance).
Awesome! Thanks comrade!
Edit: there's a couple that are not on here. Are you willing to update it? The finnish bolshevik has a playlist with some more Parenti lectures. Check this playlist parenti library
Edit: if you need help with the podcast, I'm happy to help.
Fuck yes I just listened to this doing non-thinky stuff for work and it's such a mindblowing lecture. It made me want to start a podcast where I upload Parenti's lectures to listen while riding bike or cooking or whatever (becauze YT is shit). Would anyone be interested in that?
You clearly care, deeply. I look forward to reading something you write on the subject, or to see you organise.
At least those people are looking at places where actual revolutions happened and were sustained. Contrary to the US, where unions get busted, action groeps cointelpro-d, leaders assassinated, police violence used, and only the threat of the USSR to gain any social progress. And where QoL is on a steady decline? Please give me a better example.
Furthermore, historically, no one socialist nation has ever existed without being under continuous attack from those very forces - religious, fascists, corporatists, so I don't know what your on about. You're clearly passionate but I read your comments as incredibly idealistic to a fault.
Edit: and what's happening now is the very likely possibility of a 2nd Trump administration and this insane 2025 plan they're cooking up. So I don't even know where you are getting your information.
As soon as you have any actual answer on how to demonstrably improve peoples' lives and do this either within this system in a way that they'll let you, or without this system in a way that they won't assassinate you, I'm with you. I'm serious about that. But you don't have an answer, I already know, because all I see is posturing and arm chair theorizing.
Edit for Michael Parenti who ofcourse has absolutely amazing things to day on the issue: https://youtu.be/6gtUaGV6mNI?feature=shared
Djeezus Engels you madman. The entire grammar in 48 hours.
