In terms of theory, I don’t consider myself well read. Theory is often really tough for me to read. Even with very easy-to-read writers like Michael Parenti, it’s dense with mindblowing info. And things like the book Will to Change by Bell Hooks hits me in really raw feelings so I stopped at the first chapter. I need the easiest authors and their easiest-to-read works, or else I’m just not reading.

-Micahel Parenti: What’s a Slum? Urban Poverty and Marginality in America

-“I Have a Dream, a Blurred Vision” by Michael Parenti"

-Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth

No idea how I got through “Friendly Feudalism.” I read these all about 3.5 years ago before I lost the bandwidth to go further.


Edit: I tend to watch things more so I guess you can add video links after everything else too.

    I’m a little too yank to have understood all the Br*tish pop culture references so I wouldn’t rank it as the easiest, but it is a short read
