Hes also written books on Durkheim and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism_and_Morality which critiques Marx's ideas of morality from a neo-marxist perspective.
I also enjoyed his work, 'Moral Relativism' because its more or less what Parenti was saying in regards to the cuban revolution; you can only judge the morals of a society by the cruelty enacted upon them, if they are taught violence they will respond with it. It made me rethink my feelings about socialist revolutions.
He is critical of Marx but his criticisms arent empty and he attempts to build upon, not tear down. I think he is pretty critical to devoloping marxist thought into a modern setting.
