    I recommend listening to the speech first. This is Michael Parenti discussing how the US utilized economic warfare against Yugoslavia to cause the country to destabilize into nationalist right wing reactionary movements.

      ya, no I have had to look into this stuff way too much and can tell you it’s BS, the ethnic tensions were brewing long before it became unstable, but i recommend you look into some actually historic accounts and motivations instead of following a tanky’s word

        I’ve listened to this speech several times. This doesn’t discuss what happened in Yugoslavia after the collapse, at all. Parenti is one of the most prominent and published communists in the 21th century. This isn’t just some uneducated slop.
