Chomsky

Screw it; I would post my blogs whenever I wish! It doesn't seem that I have any consistency doing this thing.. However, at some points (like now) I feel super-useless and I reckon blogging is a good way to get rid of it.I'm reading this book named the "Anti-Chomsky Reader" by some dudes called Peter Collier and David Horowitz. I don't have much against Chomsky but I just want to get to know how his opposers actually criticise him. So far, I have come across bunch of information which I already had! “Chomsky is too much pro-Vietnamese and Cambodian Communism” or “His anti-Israel attitude is not just” or even (not literally) “his acts are against the great democracy and brilliant foreign policy of America”. Let’s face it; How ridiculous such statements could be? Unfortunately (well, to be honest fortunately) I have been hanging around with and lived amongst some educated pro-Chomsky individuals and I am pretty much well-acquainted with what he says. Firstly, I don’t think those phrases could overcome his logic, and secondly expecting me to believe in some kind of “great” democracy (meaning not having any faults) is just too much.

But this is not the end of the story; I certainly do have some things against Chomsky. (By the way, if you don’t know him, better check wikipedia and then read this post) Of course it takes a bit of overlooking-the-facts to admire what Ho Chi Minh or Mao did in their time. These fellas were absolute dictators; and when you mix dictatorship with communism in Eastern Asia, you get nothing better than mass murders and controlled propaganda and all other characteristics of populist totalitarian governments and regimes. Funny enough, some of these are the same grounds on which many Western governments are criticised too!
My point (I think) is that it looks like there are “others” apart from either of these sides. I do believe that many leftist ideas (in the true sense of the meaning, not what they call “left” in Iran) –particularly economic ideas of left- would not work; and in the same time many right-wing ideas, especially typical social ideas of right, represent total cruelty. Perhaps a mixture of these might work better. (Wow! What an achievement!)
I reckon I would get to know both these sides and end up thinking how hypocrite everyone is! (Well, I already do think that hypocrisy is pretty much the foundation of many social and political ideas, or rather cults!)

Man, it was too sophisticated! I have no idea why I thought I can even think of politics!..

I’d like to put some pictures that I took from Adelaide here, but there’s Facebook which exists just to serve this picture-sharing thing.. I might put them in both..

PS: Even in a high-tech country like Australia, the internet could possibly suck, big time..
