What do you mean? Why ws the video horrible? Because of the western marxist thing?
The argument pissed me off bc he quoted parenti when parenti argues against China or something like that
And? Parenti argued against China because he only had western sources available.
Not that this matters, critically assessing material means you can take useful parts from it and ignore useless stuff. Parentis analysis back then on China is frankly wrong. On left-anti-communists and so-called "western marxists", he was spot on.
Do not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Fair, tho what other sources are available now to refute parenti's argument?
Also it's not really thr point i was trying to make, i just found the "western marxist" point in the redpen video shallow and not precise
