In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

After Parenti, the number of physical books by a single author I have the most is probably Chomsky (and that includes fictional series). And with that, ~~fuck Chomsky~~ approach Chomsky with same critical eye you do with liberal media in general:

The high perch from which Chomsky tells us how free we are was likely only vacant because state agents murdered all consequential Black leaders and squashed every other left-wing movement. In the ensuing years, white guys writing books supplanted visionaries with megaphones while the prison population grew.
