RIP to one of the greatest.
He fearlessly taught audiences and readers, during the fiercely anti-communist Reagan era, that class struggle is very much alive.
His critiques on western media, revolutionary history and the events of his era, are invaluable.
He articulated Marxism in a clear and understandable way not for other professors, but for the general public, to awaken our class conciousness, and become fighters for a better world.
We’ll miss you comrade.
He truly was one of the greats. Parenti managed to explain Marxism in a very accessible way, and he delivered a impassioned critique of capitalism and imperialism. It’s impossible to listen to his lectures and not be moved by them. You will be missed comrade.
Thank you Michael Parenti for being a trail blazing lecturer for us American comrades especially to unlearn and deconstruct the layers of bourgeois propaganda.
What a terrible news to wake up to. RIP Parenti. He was a great teacher for plenty of us.
Blackshirts and Reds was pivotal in helping me see AES states more realistically. Rest now, Parenti. Our struggle goes on and you can lay down your weary head. I wish you could have been here to see it through, but we will do what we can to carry it through to the end.
Damn that’s sad news. RIP
RIP
Thank you for opening me up to Marxism Leninism, without your works, I’d still be a damned liberal.
A big loss to the left, but we must build on more despite these difficult times.
Rest in power, Comrade Parenti.

He didn’t always have the right takes, but he was a great orator. Brought up a whole generation of communists.
And most of all, he showed us if there can be one Parenti, there can be many more. Our only limit is the one we put on ourselves.
Millions of proletarians will repeat our words: “Long live the memory of Comrade Parenti. At his graveside we solemnly vow to fight still harder for the overthrow of capital and for the complete emancipation of the working people… .”
Rest in peace, comrade. It cannot be overstated what tremendous value you gave to the left in the west, in creating comrades out of liberals. May we carry on the torch!

Not gonna lie. I thought he was dead for like 20 years already.
RIP to a legend
He had some memory related brain issues for a decade or so, its why he sort of disappeared for a while.
Rest in peace.
RIP, he will never be forgotten.
Rest in power, Comrade. Thank you for helping me understand US Imperialism, consent manufacturing, etc.
From what I understand he has been unwell for a while but it is still a very sad day.
Thank you comrade for your gifts to us all. You have helped a lot of us become better human beings. May those seeds help bear fruit to emancipate the world.
