Prefigurative of a viable communist party or just revisionists capturing popular discontent for personal empowerment? I'm personally a fan of Dr. Cornel West, but this is the first I'm hearing of this and I value the community's input.

Chris Hedges probably had the worst take about violence ever. It was during Occupy Wallstreet and his spat with the black bloc, and he wrote that shouting profanities against cops is a form of violence. Couldn't find the original article where he wrote about violently shouting profanities at cops, but this popular article was why he was against the Black Bloc:

he thinks that John Zerzan is a major player lol. He also hates Lenin and the USSR, and was happy that it fell, Hedges is probably worst than Chomsky, atleast Chomsky is a good database for all the Crimes of US empire, but Hedges wants us all to become non-violent martyrs, like good Christians, to bring about change. He's a Christian Socialist, so expect lots of cringe.
Danny Glover is based though, he's a big supporter of Venezuela and Cuba, he wants to make a film about Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian revolution, but he can't raise the funds from Hollywood Libs.
Yeah like I said he's great I love him.
He introduced me to Joseph Roth, who is like if Eeyore were a sarcastic Austro-Hungarian Jew with a drinking problem.
