Statesian anarchist Murray Bookchin derisively remarked that he does not care about the "poor little children who were fed under communism."

I am tired of this shit, unless this can be corroborated, this is slander. I know Parenti and Bookchin didnt get along but I am tired of this quote being thrown around like evidence.

[–] Changeling@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

This is the full quote, according to Parenti:

Left anticommunists remained studiously unimpressed by the dramatic gains won by masses of previously impoverished people under communism. Some were even scornful of such accomplishments. I recall how in Burlington Vermont, in 1971, the noted anticommunist anarchist, Murray Bookchin, derisively referred to my concern for “the poor little children who got fed under communism” (his words).

It’s literally a personal anecdote claimed by Parenti, so I don’t see that being corroborated.
