data centres aren’t being built so you can stream endless entertainment and make dumb videos the goofy cartoons are a mask they are a weapon of class war and should be treated as such

I think probably the single most meaningful intellectual and moral exercise I've ever engaged in has been to question and dig for answers about the origin of capitalism. If you've never wondered about it before, I urge you to start looking for answers. It will change everything.

Has any Western country condemned or even noted what's happening in Ecuador and Noboa's emergence as a Temu Pinochet?

I’m Californian. If my city gets bombed and I die just know that I don’t think it was Iran I think it was the U.S. government and that I hate those evil fucks.

They promoted Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent to distract you from reading Parenti’s Inventing Reality, which was written years earlier and is far better.

[American Exception @Aaron_Good_]

Michael Parenti was one of the very few Western Leftists who understood that capitalist class power was routinely exercised through clandestine criminal (i.e., conspiratorial) statecraft. This kind of truth-telling made him a mortal enemy of the Times.

No se puede "ganar" un debate con la extrema derecha simplemente porque no existe un debate real. A la extrema derecha no les importa si tienen razón; solo les importa si los demás piensan que tienen razón, su discurso es puramente emocional, cero racional.

I’ve often mentioned that Norman Finkelstein is the most moral individual I’ve met.
His principles are absolute, and he is incapable of compromising them. Gray doesn’t exist in his moral universe.
I’m not at all surprised that his is the only name to emerge from the Epstein files with its reputation enhanced.

[marty, @martycomma]

weird how everyone wrapped up in this epstein thing is vehemently anti-communist. probably just a coincidence

I fucking called this, they renamed office 365 to copilot and now they're telling investors that they have massive amounts of copilot users, LMFAO

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

This is one of the most extraordinary and illuminating passages in all journalism.

CNN frames Maduro as a paranoid liar for claiming the CIA is trying to overthrow him.

Yet in the very next sentence, it casually notes that the CIA did, in fact, overthrow him.

The level of cognitive dissonance and imperial brain rot you must have to write this, and then have it read by an editor and published, is truly breathtaking.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

All the Democratic party wants to do is ride this anti-Trump sentiment into the midterms and into 2028 so they can control the empire again and implement the same fascist policies as Republicans only with better PR and zero resistance from liberals or the corporate media.

@DrewPavlou He died surrounded by loved ones and left behind an academic legacy that inspired thousands. When your clogged arteries eventually kill you, the response will be laughter and celebration. If anyone remembers you at all

"History never ends, and the last page is never written, and the best pages are written not by presidents, prime ministers, popes, or even professors, but by the people. For all their faults and shortcomings, the people are all we have. In fact, we are they."

—Michael Parenti

[Kyle 🚄 @KyleTrainEmoji]

RIP Michael Parenti. You meant a lot to us.

[NOT Potato Bolshevik @NotPotBol]

Parenti was a figure who helped keep American socialism alive in a time when it was barely alive. We rightfully clown on modern US socialism, but we can’t even imagine how grim things were.

Now his work is reaching more people then it ever did in his own time. Keep fighting!

[Afshin Rattansi @afshinrattansi]

Marxist historian and political scientist Michael Parenti has passed away at the age of 92:

“Communism in Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Mongolia, N. Korea, and Cuba brought land reform and human services, a dramatic bettering of the living conditions of hundreds of millions of people on a scale never before or never since witnessed in human history.”

[Nazia Kazi @NaziaKaziTweets]

Professor Parenti, history is, in real-time, absolving you. RIP to the G.O.A.T.
