The Silenced Left v. The Lockdown Left
Soapbox Replay with guest, Christian Parenti
The Lockdown Left v. The Silenced Left
Soapbox Podcast with Dr. Christian Parenti
For this edition of The Soapbox, Cindy interviews Christian Parenti about his experience of the Covid lockdowns, and his analysis of the harm it has done to workers, working-poor, and other disadvantaged people.
This is Christian’s piece, first appearing in The Grayzone:
How the Organized Left got Covid Wrong, Learned to Love Lockdowns, and lost its mind: an autopsy.
What I consider a significant paragraph from the article:
“The socialist left, which wants to use state power to discipline capital has instead accepted the negative image of its goal: state power used to bully, harass, and discipline workers. The left’s embrace of Covid hysteria makes a mockery of the left’s goals of planning, industrial policy, economic redistribution, worker empowerment, and environmental sustainability. This leftwing self-harm will have deleterious consequences for years to come. Indeed, the situation is worse than a mere political fumble. The left is now actively helping its own enemies. In its unwavering support for mandates, passports, punitive lockdowns, and censorship, the organized left has sided with technocratic elites, the one percent, and the repressive state apparatus everywhere. “

Disclaimer: this podcast/blog is the sole, well-researched opinions of me, Cindy Sheehan.
I never mean to offend any good people, but I definitely mean to give people a different perspective from the disgusting imperialists and diseased capitalists on every subject I cover—maybe to engage in conversation? New information and criticism is accepted, and considered. I promise not to take criticism personally, if you don’t take my work personally. I have a global perspective while working in a shared/lived experience in community with others. I have often been wrong, but more often been proven correct.

Parenti really swims against the Academic current on Covid. The majority of the Ivory Tower set bought the Covid Lockdown Regime hook, line, and sinker. Mark Crispin Miller is another academic dissenter from the Covid Party Line...
I used to call myself a socialist, a lefty, but when the "left" turned on me and others for questioning the scamdemic and refusing to comply, I became completely confused.
So I started reading, specifically about Marx, Lenin and Stalin. Marx was a satanist. Two of his kids were sacrificed, I mean died of hunger. Weird how he always looks so robust in all the images of him.
Now I understand the quote: "When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called the People's Stick" - Mikhail Bakunin
I believe the lockdown-woke-left are possessed by whatever possessed Marx.
I appreciate them though for they have turned me back to God.
