Democratic capitalism is a contradiction in terms, just thought I'd mention that.

[amet1980]

everything comming of chomsky mouth must be documented and recorder, as a valible asset to humanity for future use..

[Ollie9402]

@neilwe Are you sure? The definitions of capitalism I've seen didn't necessarily exclude worker controlled enterprise, as far as I could tell. What, specifically, convinced you of this? (I would like a source if you can give one.)

[demarcos69]

Perle was laid out on the floor and Chomsky kept kicking him in the crotch..lol

[nblumer]

The last question is a bit silly. Of course we should believe it because when you intimidate a country you can expect them to build up their defences.

Mike Tyson vs. Terri Shiavo

So... lights out for Perle then?

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

"Brave" and "Greedy" those are relitive terms, why dont your state the information as clearly and fully as possible, cite your sources, and let your audience descide if those terms apply. If your arguement is good, you should have nothing to fear because the rational democratic people will accept your logic, and only reject it if they have a more convincing arguement of their own.

[Lawlow1978]

Excellent example with the Soviet Union and Luxembourg by Chomsky, it almost shows how the US was worse then the USSR in terms of being rational and being just plain tolerant.
