Michael Parenti (1933-2026) died today. He has, as his son Christian said, 'gone to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky'. A socialist from early into his life till the very end, Michael Parenti wrote in a feisty way and spoke bluntly the truths that were not always easy to digest in a wretched capitalist system. He was a fierce critic of imperialist wars and suffered the consequences of this because he could keep and then hold academic jobs even in liberal states such as Vermont.
The toughest test for all of us came when the USSR collapsed, and it was in this period that Michael Parenti played an important role in the Battle of Ideas, fighting the reactionary Western media and the intellectual cowardice of his peers. His books on Yugoslavia's destruction earned him terrible attacks, which he brushed off as the necessary price you pay in this struggle. In the midst of it all, Michael wrote 'Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism' (1997), a rebuttal to the anti-Marxist and anti-Communist blather that had begun to infect the world. The book remains an essential tool to fight against the ridiculous anti-communist historiography that demeans the great achievements of the workers' movements.
He spent the last period of his life within himself, which was a loss to the rest of us, and now his departure leaves us without that anchor which he provided.
Michael Parenti. Comrade. Our Red Flag dips in your honour.
We Afrikaners bled fighting British imperialism, had our women and children put in concentration camps to be starved to death like animals
And now we support it
What a betrayal
The Freedom Front Plus welcomes the actions of the United States against the illegitimate regime of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The free world is under a moral obligation to act against countries with autocratic governments where human rights are trampled and criminality cannot be separated from policy. @MulderCorn https://t.co/2IufTMR73U
While you are busy dissecting the arrest of the four people charged with recruiting South Africans to the Russian military, take note that there’s a school in Cape Town that actively and openly prepares pupils to join the Israeli Defence Force.
Did you know that in the late 1950s and 1960s, the apartheid government invited Europeans to come settle here en masse as a way to counter the population growth of the Black majority?

In 4/5 years, yes. But you'd be surprised what the human mind is capable of if given the right guidance and enough time to develop deep, intuitive understanding of "complex" topics
Actuarial science is one of those courses you can only complete if you're academically gifted. There's no amount studying that can help you pass this course if you're not academically gifted
