À propos de cet audio

A bold and entertaining exploration of the epic struggles of yesterday and today.

Blackshirts and Reds explores some of the big issues of our time: fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. These terms are often bandied about but seldom explored in the original and exciting way that has become Michael Parenti's trademark.

Parenti shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. He also maps out the external and internal forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free-market" victory on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He affirms the relevance of taboo ideologies like Marxism, demonstrating the importance of class analysis in understanding political realities and dealing with the ongoing collision between ecology and global corporatism.

Written with lucid and compelling style, this book goes beyond truncated modes of thought, inviting us to entertain iconoclastic views and to ask why things are as they are.

Parenti is a vastly under appreciated thinker and far too few people have even heard of him.

This book is amazing. I wish this was the very first book I read after becoming a socialist, although now, after being a little bit better educated on Marxist theory, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Absolutely brilliant

This book is easy to follow and does a good job explaining socialism, rights and wrongs of the past, and differentiating from the "red fash" narrative of communism.
