In honor of Dr. Parenti's passing, some of his best clips.

[BlueTsunami2018]

I’m surprised there weren’t any posts or tributes to Michael Parenti, one of the left’s most important and best spokesmen for decades. He passed on Saturday at the age of 93.

Who are the real “White Trash?”

On “Super Patriots.”

On so-called Poor Countries

Parenti was a great voice for the downtrodden, an outspoken opponent of Capitalist Imperialism and a brave defender of the left. He told very uncomfortable truths about the U.S. ruling class and championed the working class.

I cannot recommend more highly watching his famous “Yellow Lecture” on YouTube.

R.I.P. sir and thanks.

3. Indeed.

He spoke with such passion and intelligence and he always brought the receipts to back up his statements.

“Blackshirts and Reds” should be required reading for anyone on the political left.
