If Cuba's socialism doesn't work, why not let it fail on its own? Why try to strangle it for 65 years? Why blockade it and try to force change against the people's will? Truth is, a successful Cuba would open everyone's eyes in the U.S. and people would demand more from lawmakers.
Rest in Power, Michael Parenti.
Dr. Parenti had a brilliant and unmatched ability to break down complex themes around class and power, and in doing so, expose the falsehoods upon which capitalism and imperialism are built. He had a transformational impact on so many people, myself included.
He also wrote poetry. At the back of his book Dirty Truths are three poems. One of them, "To My Son as I Contemplate My Death", is especially beautiful.
I'm grateful for the opportunities I had to meet Dr. Parenti, listen to him speak, and even share breakfast with him on one occasion at the Fredericton airport. His recorded lectures will continue to keep me in the best of company on long drives.
@rebekah_e_s Yeah you definitely still need to work on whatever you have going on cause you’re 100% going to pass on this shit on. You didn’t have some “woke” realization I think you might just be stupid or have an undiagnosed ED because why is having a child what it took to realize this.
@L0g1cmaster@hsrgood No. It factors in the time to walk to the station. What about that is hard to understand? Do you need a screenshot from my google maps?
