    I would almost compare Parenti to Grover Furr in that both provide relatively unrepentant defenses of Stalin’s Soviet Union

    Uhh, if this person believes that Parenti wasn't critical of the Soviet Union in Blackshirts And Reds, they obviously never read the book.

    This looks like typical r*ddit-bro bullshit to me.

        Ok, but calling Parenti an "unrepentant defender of Stalin's Soviet Union" is still bullshit.

          If this person is reviewing Blackshirts and Reds as a work of academic history, then I actually don't think it's that unreasonable. However, Blackshirts and Reds isn't a work of academic history. It's for a popular audience and is meant to make people reconsider the propaganda "common knowledge" they've absorbed.
