Hello. This is the first time I post on Lemmygrad. I've been wondering about him for a while now. Everyone seems to have a different opinion—some call him an anti-imperialist anarchist, others don't—and since I can't get this past the Reddit filters, I figured I'd ask here. I wonder what do people think when they hear his name.

  1. Yes. Not even in the same league :)
  2. https://www.greanvillepost.com/2020/06/03/the-mainstream-and-the-margins-noam-chomsky-vs-michael-parenti/
  3. He has a bunch of lectures on youtube that are worth a watch: Eg Against Empire: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3qFA0-wo3pg
  4. His books are amazing. All examples of dialectical materialism. The most recommended around here to begin with maybe is Blackshirts and Red: https://welshundergroundnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/blackshirts-and-reds-by-michael-parenti.pdf

Against Empire: https://uploads.worldlibrary.org/uploads/pdf/20180112220352parenti_against_empire.pdf

Other recommendations to begin with include Sword and the Dollar. And the Assassination of Julius Caesar.

Thank you so much

No worries, glad to help! If there was one person who turned most people in the West marxist (there isn't, Great Man Theory is not real) it would probably be Michael Parenti.
