"1) Chomsky’s presenting new ideas? All I’ve ever heard him spout are the same ones that have been debunked for centuries. Like when he said if the Venezualan socialists are successful “they would be seeds of a better world.” Or when he said “The consistent anarchist should be a socialist” and that he [the consistant anarchist] will “oppose alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers”. Or when he said that when Thomas Jefferson argued that dependence will lead to “subservience and venality”, and will “suffocate[s] the germs of virtue”, Jefferson was talking about was talking about “wage labor”…which (according to Chomsky) was considered an abomination under classical liberal principles.
Or how about when he said “we’d be a lot better off if we were higher taxed, and it was used for proper purposes.” What is a “proper purpose?” Apparently we know what that is. Chomsky says we do: “We know what those [purposes] are. I mean, for example, for women taking care of children. You know, it makes sense to pay them for that work, they’re doing important work for the society.”
Take a lot of money (even more than you already do) from everyone by force, and hand it over to women to have children and “take care of them.” We’d “be a lot better off” if that happened. Yes. Smart man indeed. Amazingly novel, insightful ideas. I’ve never heard anything like this before. Must be just “close-minded”.
I especially like when he defended the Khmer Rouge and refused to believe reports that Cambodian communists would genocide 30 percent of their nation’s population…when in fact that’s exactly what they were doing at that very moment. The very intelligent man “didn’t know” this was going on. (Hey maybe he was “tricked”. I mean, not into physical prostitution, but intellectual. Ever heard the term “useful idiot ”? …oh, but that would mean…uh.."
This is what i meant dipshit. You put words in my mouth with all of those.
What do you think it is when you “preempt” (which is not actually what you did you did it ex post) with the intention of others not paying attention. That is invective. I stand by my statement that you are a loser troll who dispareges other points of view to make yourself feel better. You avoid the main points to try and de foundate them with other statements.
Are you running for office soon?
