Michael Parenti's classic

[malaise]

Democracy for the Few.
Have any DUers read that classic?

1. I disagree with Parenti's view that the Soviet Union was morally superior to the U.S.

2. Do you agree with the data presented

re the beneficiaries of democracy.

I don’t deal with views. I like empirical evidence so I’ll pass on views on moral superiority except to say that all world powers fail on matters morality. Self interest is what drives them.

3. Parenti is TOPS!

He’s not perfect, but he’s better than anyone they let talk on network TV.

For the too-cheap amongst us, “Democracy for the Few” is available as a PDF. It also can be heard read by a nice robot voice for the YouTubbies.

4. Love his work

big time

5. The JFK Assassination and the Gangster Nature of the State

His analysis of the facts and critique of the Warren Commission is historic.

7. Michael Parenti is one of my favorite truth tellers

Fortunately my library's extended system has about a dozen of his books, including Democracy for the Few and another great read, The Face of Imperialism. He's also a riveting figure in several documentaries I've seen.
