The Soviet Union was a kleptocracy - rule by criminals.

[Jongbonk]

O.K. Noam.

[oO0o0oo0Oo0OOo00]

As pompous as he was, even atheists will be praying for Buckleys miraculous return once the new school of commentators enemate the discussion. Even Bill O'Reilly will be thought of as moderate...

[ColdCypher]

@selby06 Still is. Its just slightly smaller now. Prolly get to its old size again though soon enough

[MassiveJungle]

shut up conservatives you cannot posit that a mode of thought is based on concepts such as 'human nature', which you believe has governed the affairs of humans unchanged since time immemorial with first explaining those concepts and giving empirical evidence for their use throughout history

[kihadat]

They didn't. Did they? If they did, I'd hate them too. And how do you know I don't know about the things I talk about. If I talk about them doesn't that at least imply that I know enough about them to be able to talk about them? I think so.

[xTH14x]

sooooo, are you trying to tell me, that if people of any other color wouldn't have done the same thing given their situation, if they had the best weapons, best technology, best political structure, they wouldnt have exploited the rest of the world, DON'T TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

[kihadat]

I wish! Unfortunately, I'll never have that much power.

[PiOfFive]

So you just became like the white men you hate?

What?!

[grazie55555]

Chomsky certainly wasn't the first to say it or think it. Ghandi and Henry David Thoreau weren't either, but they're all a few who made convincing cases for it.

[kihadat]

yep, i hate white men. oh sorry, did i make a generalization? given the collective history of humanity, i think it's justified.
