The two major American intellectuals most influenced by Dewey where Chomsky and Rorty; it is not mistake that they where much more interesting than there contemporary.
I always vote democrat. I belong to a union. However, I would not want to live in Cuba. Why does not Chomsky go live there. He lives here where capitalism is king. I do not like Ayn Rand either. She is on the other extreme. I like mixed countries like Norway and western Europe. Extreme socialism does not work. Extreme cowboy capitalism does not work. Still, we have thinkers trying to promote this bullshit. Maybe to sell their books.
@JayGatsbyOdysseus My answer would be that he works as a professor at MIT and likes his job and he is an American and wants to live in his country. Pretty simple.
@S2Cents So, you are saying that his rhetoric is incongruent with his behavior. You are saying that he is a sophist? No. You are saying he talks about how bad and immoral the USA is but he still lives in this bad and immoral place? If he was really trying to eliminate contradictions he would go live in Cuba or the West Bank.
@S2Cents What is America for a "true" intellectual like Chomsky? If he is real he should like living in real socalist country. He is a hypocrite, just saying bullshit to make more money. In essense, he is capitalist but tells lies to gullible public. If you do not admit paradox, I think I vote republican out of spite. You have converted me to right side by your unwillingness to admit problems with Chosmksy and left.
@JayGatsbyOdysseus If I just converted you to voting Republican you're a moron. But more likely you're just some jack off looser. I'm done. Have a nice existence fuck head.
@S2Cents You have now entered ad homenin situation where you are attacking me personally and not my argument. This indicates that I have won and you have lost. You no longer have substance to convey but only virulent emotion toward speaker. You lose.
@JayGatsbyOdysseus You succeeded in drawing me back. What I indicated was I think you're fucked up and not worth conversing with. Just to be clear. Your posts are so ridiculous they indicate you're an idiot and/or a troll. Look, if you cannot understand the idea of somebody criticizing their country and also wishing to remain there despite the evils one perceives in it, you're an idiot.
Also stupid as fuck is you saying someone must leave their country and move to the country closest to their ideology or economic views. Makes a lot of sense. Not. You claim that instead of fighting for what you believe in, in your own country you should just leave. Plus, as for the ex. of Chomsky, that is especially absurd that you think he believes in the system Castro set up.
@S2Cents Don't bother any more with this imbecile, his statements are so devoid of genuine interest in the topic that barring him being a troll he's not worth talking to.

Mendelssohn's Octet plays in the background for the last few seconds! One of the greatest pieces ever written! And he was 16!

When you say "we only have a minute left" and spend 15 seconds asking your question
and Chomsky talks for 2 and a half minutes you shut the **** up and say thank you at the end..
