The only reason he is popular is because his one book Internet tankies shill is so short and his claims are not as outlandish as say grover furr so is a good gateway into soviet apologetics

"Michael Parenti is a prominent American political scientist, historian, and author known for his critical analysis of power structures, capitalism, imperialism, and inequality. His work focuses on exposing the hidden workings of political and economic systems and advocating for social justice and democratic socialism. Parenti's writings and speeches often challenge mainstream narratives and offer alternative perspectives on historical events and contemporary issues.

Parenti's work spans a wide range of topics, including class struggle, media manipulation, U.S. foreign policy, and the nature of democracy. He critiques the concentration of power in the hands of elites and the ways in which this concentration perpetuates inequality and exploitation. Through his extensive research, Parenti sheds light on the mechanisms by which economic and political elites maintain control over society, highlighting the impacts of corporate influence, militarism, and imperialism. His accessible writing style and passionate delivery make his ideas accessible to a broad audience, inspiring critical thinking and activism among readers and listeners. Overall, Michael Parenti's work challenges established power structures, encourages a deeper understanding of socio-political dynamics, and advocates for a more equitable and democratic society."
