I also checked out the Romanian dictator he mentioned. This is... uh... freaking horrible.

    Unsurprisingly, Parenti has lots of good leftist criticisms of the USSR in Blackshirts and Reds.

    I think it does help to have some of these criticisms ready when the topic comes up with non-leftists, because you don't want to come off as (or be) a cheerleader for whatever AES states do. It's critical support, after all.

      i mean, yeah. we'd be betraying our ideology if we didn't make fair criticisms of its implementation. we are scientific socialists, not cheerleaders.
