That's because Chomsky as a socialist is driven by envy. It is not a case of "tyranny" although he describes it that way. It's a case of inequality in outcome. Some will have more than others, and socialists can't live with that. They call it "tyranny" that those who end up with less, will have less power over their own fate than those who have more. But this is nature. In nature there is no such thing as "equality in outcome". Chomsky is against the tyranny of nature.

@tridentmovies its important to keep in mind to that libertarianism is NOT inherently anti-socialist. as David Boaz once pointed out, a socialist system could be undertaken in a libertarian world as long as each member of a collective agrees to participate and follow the rules. hell, look at linux. the product is designed in opposition to intellectual property rights and has made nontrivial headway. Socialists just have to hold to nonaggresion: I'm not going to say for sure it won't work.

Economic equality was exactly what real socialism aimed at.

+there are numerous and equally idiotic schools of thought within the socialist tradition but theory is theory and red army goons going around shooting priests or landowners and stealing their property is the reality. I'm sorry but greed and envy really are the driving force behind all (large scale) socialist revolutions, historically speaking that is.

@tacoterrorist and just what does socialism try for in your opinion? its only fair to let you try and write a comment that's not just bile.

[JJDarklink]

@tacoterrorist appeals to intellectualism will get you nowhere. nor is any other socialist, huh? yeah you're one to talk about fallacies. then ad hominem for flavor, and a great sigh of misunderstood resignation to wrap up the great dish of the great socialist thinker. is that all you can serve up? better think harder!

[pretorious700]

@tacoterrorist I love the way the definition of socialism is malleable to conform to any "workable" argument against it. Also, the implication that it's difficult to understand. It's very simple, doesn't work, and never will.

@tridentmovies

That's idiotic. What an awful argument. Hell, that's not even an argument, it's both a fallacy and an ignorant slur. I don't even know where to begin. Firstly, Chomsky is wealthy and famous. He is not 'driven by envy', and nor is any other socialist. What utter rubbish. Intellectual sloth at its finest. Just what I'd expect from a typical ignorant, intellectually bankrupt libertarian. You have zero understanding of socialism. Socialism does not try for equality of outcome. Sigh.

watch the Zeitgeist trilogy by Peter Joseph, it resumes the dialog of this video.

Nailed Stef, Propoganda! Also, have you requested an interview with Obama, or better yet a debate? And Tom, say THEFT and thank the Revolution for the State that exists.
