Quotes by Michael Parenti
| Page | Quote | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollywood | “Today, very little of our make-believe is drawn from children's games, storytelling, folktales, and fables, very little from dramas and dreams of our own making. Instead we have the multibillion-dollar industries of Hollywood and television to fill our minds with prefabricated images and themes.” | Michael Parenti: Make-Believe Media: The Politics of Entertainment (1992), page 1 | |
| Identity politics | “Seizing upon anything but class, U.S. leftists today have developed an array of identity groups centering around ethnic, gender, cultural, and life-style issues. These groups treat their respective grievances as something apart from class struggle, and have almost nothing to say about the increasingly harsh politico-economic class injustices perpetrated against us all” | 1997 | Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism, San Francisco: City Lights Books, p. 151, |
| War | “The first atrocity, the first war crime committed in any war of aggression by the aggressors is against the truth.” |
