The Real Threat: Dialogue between the Left and Right
Having been a long time Digg reader as well as a libertarian, it’s been interesting to observe the rise in popularity of Congressman Ron Paul within the Digg community. I first discovered him about a year ago when I read a transcript of a speech he gave to Congress on monetary policy. It was startling to see such honesty from a Texas Republican. His withering critique of the petro-dollar represented a kind of understanding that American politics usually holds in contempt; and indeed that is the status of Ron Paul to the Washington elite, contemptible.
…
I want to see Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky make time in their busy schedules to create dialogue between two marginalized forces. Why these two men? Ron Paul is on the verge of making a breakthrough by appealing directly to people through the Internet. The mainstream press is having a hell of a time suppressing his popularity and with continued support he could become a serious challenger for the presidency. His appeal extends deep in to the left, but to really make inroads with this constituency he is going to have negotiate with the “arguably the most important intellectual alive”.
...
To put it mildly, this would not be like debating Rudy Giuliani. Noam Chomsky has had an iron grip on the most prestigious philosophy chair in the world for 40 years for very good reason. His knowledge of political systems and human nature has seen intellectuals like Richard Perle, Alan Dershowitz, Michele Foucalt and BF Skinner humiliated in their exposed ignorance. Whether people on the left have even heard of him, his influence guides them because he guides the opinion leaders. This is not a negligible number of people. His approval could directly or indirectly give Ron Paul considerable support. There is common ground between Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, such that if the left and right can put aside their differences momentarily and engage in reasoned dialogue we have a brief chance to accomplish what was once thought impossible: democracy.

Писал, только не очень много. Не одобрял ельцинскую войну в Чечне. Еще писал про то, что СССР пытался холодную войну предотвратить. Еще что Хрущев был прав, когда бомбу на Кубу притащил. Еще про то, как горбачевские public relations подпортили карты Рейгану с Бушем с их "evil empire" риторикой. Весьма обьективные оценки, надо сказать.Froggy писал(а):а ваш чомский ничего про российско-советских вождей не писал случайно?
Но больше он про Америку, все-таки. Когда некоторые вещи впервые читаешь, просто волосы дыбом встают.

This whole fiasco underscores the reality that the President of the United States is not elected by the popular will of people, but instead is selected from a highly restricted gaggle of pre-approved establishment lackeys.
