Get your terms right, if you must use any, or don't be surprised when your simplistic focks-news rhetoric gets ridiculed, Earl. |
From the little bit of ponderous rhetoric I've read by Chomsky he indeed supports state run industry and social welfare. Although he meanders around significantly in his observations to make it difficult to really pin him down as a communist but in effect that is the system he embraces by harping on all the inadequacies of the system of free enterprise governed by a democratic republic.
Chomsky harps about how the US embargo is responsible for the crumbled economy of Cuba. But he fails to note that it was Castro and company who went about seizing private companies and assets which lead the the embargo in the first place.
The genius of Chomsky and MM is how they masterfully disguise their fundamental marxist beliefs so that the average liberal ape can swallow it not really understanding what it really means.
