He lived to the point where hundreds of thousands of people in the most deeply propagandized country in the world are organized enough to go on strike together stand against domestic repression unseen since at least the Nixon era, if not earlier. He made it long enough for people even here to develop class solidarity en masse, organized largely by socialist organizations with plenty of members radicalized by his works. Call me overly bloomerist if you want, but I think he left a legacy he could be proud of
I listened to Yellow Parenti, then as many of his talks as I could on the Parenti archive. Then read Black Shirts and Reds. He really was my pipeline to becoming a Marxist.

Thanks for the optimism
