as far as I can tell (because I can only observe these things along my peripheral vision) Luna Oi asserted that perhaps people from the Global South don't see America in a positive light, and that being an American patriot is problematic considering all the imperialism that America is responsible for

Infrared then countered by calling her partner a sexpat

people get really upset when luna and others point out that backing national or other identity-based liberation struggles is textbook marxism-leninism

just watched this parenti lecture/presentation again. the q&a at the end is one of my fav parts, the bit about how a lot of people 'do marx' without knowing marx. also its just an overall good/honest rebuke of "left wing" anticommunism

the bit at the end makes me feel less bad for genuinely thinking that you can get to the vast majority of marx's conclusions on your own just by having a decent moral compass tbh

this is definitely my favourite Parenti lecture - it's really clear and articulate and easy to follow and open-eyed about the successes and failures of the USSR

The yellowish lecture from the mid '80s is my favorite because of how much piss and vinegar Parenti has in it but really you can't go wrong. I finished To Kill a Nation recently and would highly recommend it

Chad Nathaniel Lyon

quote:

Lyon himself had been extensively involved in the St. Louis Wide Awakes, a pro-union paramilitary organization that he intended to arm from the arsenal and muster into the ranks of the federal army. Upon obtaining command of the arsenal, Lyon armed the Wide Awake units under guise of night. Lyon had most of the excess weapons in the arsenal secretly moved to Illinois. Lyon was aware of a clandestine operation whereby the Confederacy had shipped captured artillery from the U.S. arsenal in Baton Rouge to the Missouri State Militia camp in St. Louis. Lyon allegedly disguised himself as a farm woman to spy on the State Guard's camp and then claimed that he had uncovered a plan by Jackson to seize the arsenal for Missouri troops.

I can't get over this. I kind of agree that the Communist Manifesto is needlessly long, but it's still a pamphlet. There's no such thing as "reading the manifesto" unless you're only reading on the shitter.

It's about 30-40 pages long minus the prefaces and the appendixes, that's maybe a hour or twos worth of reading.
