Dear reader,

Michael Parenti died two days ago and I had not seen much Lemmy coverage of this loss. As a larger community, Lemmings tend to share a worldview that seeks awareness of less discussed ailments in history (at least those of us raised in cultures where the subjects are taboo and education precludes questioning). For some Lemmings, like myself, I lack the prior context for many of the more left leaning and anti-imperialist thinking - I found Parenti to have been my intro into this area.
For folks inrerested in these, and many more topics, I would highly recommend folks unware of Michael Parenti to take a look into his enormous lifetime of work. His careful discussions on what has made the imperial order of the West so crushing to entire ideas, peoples, and countries was so helpful for me to understand some of what I was missing.
For the unitiated I enjoyed starting with Blackshirts and Reds and the much beloved Yellow Parenti Lectures.

I just found a lofi bg version and now I must share it:
