Two years after my comment I'm happy to see lots of upvotes! Gives me hope! Thought I'd add an anecdote for your amusement. I saw MJP back in the early '80's - around or I think before this video recording, at Foothill College in Los Altos, CA. I was drawn deeper into politics at the time since ultraconservative Ronald Reagan was President and I was working at a national lab that was contemplating doing well-funded "Star Wars" research that I was strongly opposed to, as a young, engaged arms control activist. MJP was invited by the college radio station, KFJC, which had a wonderful left-leaning radio show on Sunday nights that did deep analysis and discussion on things like JFK's, MLK's and RK's assassinations, the German fascist roots in our U.S. intelligence apparatus, the Jonestown massacre and its many CIA connections, etc. Really fascinating and seriously interrogated, not whacky stuff - heavily footnoted and documentation provided during the discussions. Also, I had taken an elective course that had MJP's, "Inventing Reality: The Politics of Mass Communication" as one of the reference books (an AWESOME book - HIGHLY recommended). Anyway, I was already well "softened" and able to listen to MJP objectively when he came to speak. The smallish man was a GIANT. His analysis was just so... consistent, fact-laden, history-laden, fit together - cohesive, riveting. And passionate! I'll never forget one part, where he was getting excited talking about power and how those that have it will refuse to let go of it, like a dog with a bone - so we have to TAKE it! We have to REACH UP (he's animating all this - gesticulating with his hands and arms... the audience is starting to holler as the energy gets contagious...) and GRAB IT and YANK IT AWAY with ALL OUR STRENGTH from their clenched teeth!! The small crowd, packed in the classroom at the junior college screamed, roared and cheered. It was an amazing lecture event - the best political rant I'd ever heard, surpassing Bernie even in energy level. Weeks after, I was still thinking about that talk (still am to this day), still analyzing things. Since then I've come to distinguish between Radicalism and Extremism, though many, including the mainstream media, always equate the two (intentionally). In fact, they are quite distinctively different. Extremism is believing in and acting in an extreme way - towards or crossing the borderline of what is sensible and even practical, perhaps even destructive and counter-productive. Being radical, on the other hand, has to do with a pure and fundamental understanding of something. The word itself, radical, has its history and the word comes from "root," like the radish is a root vegetable. The radical sign in mathematics is the sign for the square root of a number (using the radical to find the root). Radicals in chemistry are like roots of elemental atoms, just missing a needed electron or neutron (I forget) to complete the atom. Being a political radical, with the true definition of the word, means focusing on, getting to, and addressing the ROOTS of problems, and not secondary, indirect or band-aid solutions to problems. In my view, MJP is one of our leading true radical thinkers. His radical analysis is tops in my book. I'd be proud to be able to claim myself worthy of being a true radical - wading through the noise and confusion to come to understand and go after the ROOT of the problems, with solutions that address the ROOT of the problems. These are NOT extreme positions. And they do not necessitate extreme solutions. One can be a proud radical without being an extremist. Please join us!

Sad to hear he has dementia, but happy that he is still alive and interacting with comrades (as of 3 months ago). What a brilliant mind his was. In a vastly superior alternate timeline, he could've been America's first truly great president. He could certainly show up the oratorical skills of the two most recent POTUSes. At least Michael Parenti will live on in his writings and recordings, and he will be remembered fondly once we win the struggle.

Whether it be the fascists claiming race or economic and social unity or the liberals claiming democracy, nothing is possible without in part the complicity of the people.

If you consider it to be so then I recommend you raise your literacy. Plus of course it takes a lot to debunk a lie or falsification.

Parenti is a master of cutting through the chaotic complexity of history to find the simple truth at the core of it.

@@monika.alt197 precisely, comrade. The words of eg Marx, Lenin, or Parenti for that matter, all seem eerily prescient because they are accurately describing socioeconomic forces that continue to affect us today, and will continue to affect us until global capitalism has been supplanted by global socialism. Parenti himself has even referenced this phenomenon in some of his lectures, where he would say (I'm paraphrasing loosely) "Every time I have a new insight about the world today, somebody tells me that Marx already thought of it". That said, yes, it is a tragedy that these forces are still at play in the same way in 2022. Hopefully not too much longer, we shall see.

The brazillian government is not fascist, it is a prime example of a failed democracy, when the illiterate majority votes on a leader that fell under false promises and believed it. Brazil’s future has only one solution, education, but in order to change that, there must be a purge on the political scenario today, especially the low-ranks of the legislative, judiciary, and executive. Then a reevaluation of financial laws. Finally, focus on our education.

An excellent left analysis of US empire and capital in the 80s by Michael Parenti. This talk is 33 years old and is still completely and absolutely relevant to our present dilemma of US empire and capitalism. Now US capitalism and imperialism has brought us the environmental catastrophe in addition to the still impending threat of nuclear annihilation. Ordinary people, all over the world, must rise up to seize power from the elites, that are completely unfit to rule, in order for humanity to have a chance for survival.

In brief: cancer cells are cells which cease to operate in harmony with the rest of the body, instead doing what any other cell-level organism would do, that is they replicate as rapidly as possible. The consequences which this growth inflicts are well known. The quote then compares this process to the capitalist process of profit accumulation, noting the similarities between the two.

"The revolution that feeds the children gets my vote!" Count me in :~) Haven't seen Parenti this young yet, and it is only more obvious how uncompromising and heartfelt is his quest for the truth and justice. Not for the glory of a principle, but for better lives of the actual people. And, when talking about imperfections of the socialism - the biggest so far being the inability to actually give to the people it benefited a say in decision making - it occurred to me why was he so interested in Yugoslavia, and its novel concept of "self-governing" (which, in reality, never became nothing more than a concept). There doesn't appear to be such thing as evolution of the working social models, but Parenti doesn't take "impossible" for an answer. Hat off to him, one of the few good, brave man. We may never get out of the tunnel, but he helps us see the dark - and the light. .

"Self-governing" didn't get very far, and at worst opened up work units to the world market and atomized economic actors at the expense of collective welfare. That said, as far as I understand, this policy did lead to certain rights in the workplace and economic security, as well as to the establishment of certain counterweights vis-à-vis management / vertical authority structures. As such, one can't say "self-government" never became anything more than a concept.

@@RB-jl8gj Well, I've seen it, so I know it never made it out in the real world. The working class rights where there before this new concept, and there is nothing it gave to the workers, or even society, to even move toward evening up with the party, let alone take over. In fact, it was important factor in the downfall of the country's economy, because the party apparatchiks, who were the management in every (society-owned) company, were hiding their incompetence and corruption behind so called "workers' councils", who formally were making business decisions, but in practice were following the managements and been easily manipulated by them. A worker doesn't know what is needed to know to make such decisions, simply as that. In practice, that system was perfect for the Communist party, since formally it was the working people making decisions, and there was no one that could be held responsible, while the party was behind that smoke screen as the actual decision maker with no direct responsibility.

I really hope one day the people of Cuba get all of their freedoms back. But as of now, as bad as it is there it was much worse and much less safe when dictator Batista was in power. Do you have any family that still lives in Cuba? If they can read well and have access to a hospital then you should be happy that for a country that has been subject to centuries of American and Spanish imperialism they can still have those basic necessities. You can also compare it to other central American countries whose revolutions were cut short by the American government. Their education and healthcare are really not good.
@chrisbeaudoin9818
@chrisbeaudoin9818 6 жыл бұрын
Andres de Villanueva but the reality is that you have no freedom if the ruling class doesn't give it to you. The workers under Batista's Cuba were far from free. Terrible hours, terrible conditions, terrible pay. They were also not safe. Aside from possibly dying in the fields due to terrible conditions, there were many dangerous mobs backed by America. Today from what I've read Cuba is generally a safe place. You have your freedom in the US because they haven't been subject to centuries of imperialism by other countries. There is more to freedom than capitalism, because, as I mentioned earlier, you have no freedom if the ruling class still rules over you. That was the problem for pre revolutionary Cuba. Today's Cuba still has many problems, of course, but at least they have their freedom to not work 10 hours a day in terrible conditions, and to not be ruled over by American corporations. The kids there are also free of many diseases, with rates comparable to the US. (www.unicef.org/infobycountry/cuba_statistics.html www.unicef.org/infobycountry/usa_statistics.html) I want free speech for Cubans really bad. I think that is a fundamental human right. But if capitalism were introduced to make the country more "free," it would turn back into slavery. There is more to freedom than being able to criticize the government.

War between the two countries is very unlikely in the immediate future. Whether the US likes it or not, China has support from many countries around the world on all continents except North America. Plus China is still a big trade partner of the US and many big American corporations (especially tech companies, the fastest growing industry) are in China. China’s military also cannot match the US military. So any war with actual boots on the ground isn’t advantageous for either country. I don’t pretend to be a geopolitics master, but if I were to guess, I would say any war will either be based around US intervention on Iran, or less likely the current strife between France and the Middle East. Even then, the odds of a full blown war are quite small
