@CrocodilusPontifex If better living conditions do justify any economic system, then every economic system ever invented could be said to be a valid, viable system, as you can produce evidence of increase in standard of living for most systems.
Obviously, externalities like slavery, corruption, marked failure, relative deprivation, etc, ought also to be taken into account when evaluating an economic system. Contrarywise, some try to justify everything with "job creation" etc.
-
@CrocodilusPontifex I'm not an anarcho-syndicalist, but I can still get his point: His point being that you can't just look at one factor and draw conclusions from it alone. You have to look at other things as well. Better living conditions (for some and paid by others) might not be as good as it first seems.

@CrocodilusPontifex well said, stupid socialists with no ambition trying to fuck the intelligent people that work for their billions night and day.

Chomsky's argument is nihilistic; it could be used against ANY economic system (capitalist, socialist, "libertarian-socialist," etc) If better living conditions doesn't justify an economic system, WHAT DOES?
Anti-capitalists need to put up or shut up; make an alternative economy in the US. Show us that your way can provide all the amenities and comforts of modern life WITHOUT CEO's or stock exchanges or pay-rolls and so on.
Put out or GTFO.

Listening to Chomsky is similar to taking way too much LSD.

Listening to Chomsky is similar to a near death experience.

Chomsky totally eliminates all the misinformation and misguided preconceptions people have of human social movements, society and all of history. Listen to one of his lectures and you feel like you have to reset your entire view on reality, redefining all the terminology you thought you knew.

agree with noam on much, aside from his economics. he seems to have blindspots.
