lol.. im trying to show you that your question is extremely stupid.... Since 2009, has been laden commited a terrorist act??? Ok, than that excuses his actions just like America is alright, since from 1990 onwards, they have not attempted to puppeteer any countries
i cant access your article for one, and im not paying for it..... and if you are trying to undermine chomsky with an article by conservative hacks, than here is a big LOL...... you can pay the conservative cronies of your website, and I will read it than.
yea, a free market is mutually agreed exchange..... in your fantasy land, if i needed a kidney, i can get it off the starving man, or if i am a pedophile, i will pay a child to molest him..... yep, mutually agreed exchange
The regimes supported by the US during the Cold War generally had a much better record for human rights and development than the Communist ones. North vs. South Korea, Taiwan and Japan vs. China, and so on. Sure, errors were also made by US leaders no longer in power. But if more of the world had become temporarily Communist before the Communist collapse, and thus more countries would have experienced Marxist-Leninist terror, the total suffering would have been much greater.
Regardless, again, past US history does not justify Chavez becoming a dictator.
Not sure why you cannot access the free article unless you are under some form of internet censorship.
Not legal to molest a child in capitalist countries and child molesting existed in both communist and pre-capitalist countries.
Regarding the kidney and more generally limited resources, the unfortunate fact is that we live in a world with limited resources so there will always be people who will have less than what would be preferable. The best we can do is increasing the amount of resources available, and capitalism has done that much better any other system. Likely in the future some form of much less expensive non-human kidney replacement will be available, solving this particular bottleneck. If we do not have progress like in non-capitalist systems then there will always be a lack of kidneys.
