Book Report: Blackshirts & Reds by Parenti

Blackshirts: Fascists / Nazis
Reds: Socialists / Communists

This is the first book by Michael Parenti that I've ever read, and I really enjoyed it. It has many facts and references, and covers the rise of the popularity of capitalism within the USSR, the propaganda about the USSR, including stories about gulags, and addresses problems with the USSR, including problems in resource allocation planning. It covers the effects of the fall of the USSR on Eastern European countries when the capitalists took over, including devastating wealth inequality and poverty.

I've ordered "Against Empire" as my next book from Parenti because I enjoyed this book so much.

William Blake who once saw G*d in a tree with golden leaves, talked to angels and spirits, and fought against the Beast that is Empire and the state, was #BornOnThisDay 1757.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Blake!
