Not to be too topical but it was Parenti who dispelled my liberalism. Stop recommending On Authority to anarchists.

After reading Engels, I was like, "Wait a minute, he does have a point. How the fuck are we supposed to overthrow a class that owns everything, from wealth & capital to the armed security apparatus, without using violence and imposing the workers' authority over them? By begging for a change nicely?"
