The following is from [url=http://home.comcast.net/~neoeugenics/few.htm]http://home.comcast.net/~neoeugenics/few.htm[/url]
Democracy for the Few by Michael Parenti, 2002 7th edition. Reviewed by Matt Nuenke - August 2003.
Normally I would read a book, and if it were of enough interest, I would critique it. This book however, after about 15 pages, was so filled with invectives, simplistic anti-Westernism, with a longing for the days of Communism, that the best way to review it (without wasting too much time) was to scan it into a word document format, and as I read it, I responded to those paragraphs that seemed worthy of my time. It is hard to believe that this book is being used in universities to teach such garbage, but I think most Americans greatly under appreciate how strong Marxism remains in academia, among activists, and even in many of the liberal churches, or parts thereof.
