Michael Parenti’s Masterful Understanding of World Politics

I’ll never forget my first exposure to American political scientist Michael Parenti.  I was in my late teens, and my education up to that point had been fairly neutral in terms of the United States’ position in the geopolitical world.  I believe I had come across this very speech (linked above), which completely knocked me off my feet.

If you check out this short excerpt, you’ll see why.

I chuckle when I hear Trump supporters asserting that the U.S. is a socialist nation, or is at least headed in that direction.  Want to see what socialism actually looks like?  Look no further.
