    It makes one wonder if perhaps tenured professors like Noam and Angela Davis are a bit more invested in the status quo than they like to tell themselves.

        Parenti is so much better than Chomsky it's sad. Then again, it makes sense why the person who gives straightforward, understandable analysis of political economy would be repressed and the much more liberal analyst is paraded around as a hero of leftism.

        Fuck Chomsky, all my homies read Parenti

        Davis was major cringe during the Obama years, identity politics rots your brain...

        “Angela Davis says that Barack Obama is a man who identifies with the Black radical tradition.” https://www.blackagendareport.com/content/angela-davis-lost-her-mind-over-obama
