    this is a great idea. it helps to be able to pick out sections to send to people who you want to introduce to leftist politics. There was one of his talks I had really wanted to show people but the section on 9/11 seemed like it might get in the way of it persuading them.

      in general i think its a good idea to split up these prominent socialist speaker's speeches and give the audience the easier to digest bits. its a gateway drug

      Parenti has insufficient support for anti-imperialism

        I'm sorry do you mean he's not anti-imperialist enough, doesn't provide enough evidence, or that people don't recognize his work because of his anti-imperialist stances?

        I find that he's pretty anti-imperialist in his speeches but I haven't read his books yet. The content I was referring to in my first comment was that he got kinda "bush did 9/11"-y and I know that will make most people back off fast.
