I visited the commie bookstore in town today and I picked up a copy of Manufacturing Consent because it seemed appropriate for the current times. I also got a copy of Motorcycle Diaries.
On the way home I also passed a Falun Gong stand. They were doing some dance.

It’s a good book. His examples of this ga that went wrong have been really helpful in conversations for me.

That’s funny… in both the book and at the end of “Friendly Feudalism”, his essay on Tibet, Parenti bashed China for being a hair too capitalist-roaded for his liking.

Nearly all western leftists coming up in the 70s and 80s got it wrong on China, or didn’t understand the strategy, probably because there was a dearth of translated materials. Parenti and Sakai for example.
