      @@TomorrowWeLive There is not a single data/fact-based refutation of Chomsky's positions in that article that shows him "denying and justifying genocides". On the other hand, there are ample cases of the author of that drivel having been embroiled in academic malpractice and hoax himself, on subjects from whitewashing crimes against Australian Aborigines to publishing ideologically motivated fake stories on GMO food.
      Linking complete rubbish like a good-intentioned critical reader while all it is represents is a desperate attempt by a nobody to smear someone is shameful at the very least.

      Arthur James Schildgen oh really? So I would hope that you would also be highly opposed of those millions of incarcerations under the Obama administration as well right? Yknow since America is about equality? Obama has deported more illegal aliens than Trump has. Trumps deportations are majority criminals such as sex traffickers. Listen Obama was also against illegal immigration and openly denounced illegal immigration in his rallies, speeches, and his time during senator, nobody called him racist nor were their meltdowns over his millions in deportations. If you want to make this a case of pity for those immigrants than you should acknowledge the issue of both presidents, not just focus all that hate on one guy due to your opposing political views. What is communicated poorly and twisted negatively is trumps stance on immigration. He is FOR Legal immigrants, has nothing against them and has helped out many, what he won’t tolerate is those illegal immigrants who abuse the welfare system, have anchor babies, and even use false identification for work. There have been cases reported that illegal aliens have used the documents of deceased Americans for work, which frankly is disgusting. And before you talk about the border cages, most of those photos and the initiative of such harsh treatment started during the Obama administration. So please kind sir(hope I’m not assuming your gender) do not be fueled by prejudice and hatred, I share your dislike for the harsh treatment of those illegals but you cannot simply believe this is trumps fault their is only so much pity that can be given. I’ll end my response to your false rhetoric by giving you a real life example. If I’m driving intoxicated while my child is in the car and I get stopped, then surely my child will be separated from me as I go to jail. The same outcome can be viewed for those illegals who get deported, if you get deported the you can’t expect special treatment, coming here illegally is against the law. End of story

      Not always.
      Alot of Axis war criminals were let off the hook to help their captors. Such as using former Wehrmacht officers to rebuilt both German armies, and use of scientists in various programs that mostly went nowhere (such as pardoning Unit 731 members or Nazi camp doctors for ultimately useless infomation).
      We like to think that most of the Nazis were killed by our justice system, when really most of these men lived relatively luxurious lives, and had no apologies or redemption for their crimes.

      @Steffan R Blanco The evidence in support of US President Jimmy Carter's statement of US war mongering is strong. Since the end of WW2 the US led the illegal invasion of Iraq that was based on deliberate false pretenses and manipulated intelligence where over a million innocent Iraqi civilians were murdered, waged war against Vietnam, Korea, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Grenada, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Venezuela, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan that killed over 70,000 innocent civilians, Lebanon, Laos, Bosnia, Serbia, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Iran and others.
      By it's own admission the US has launched at least 251 military interventions AFTER the USSR collapsed in 1991. That does not include still classified covert missions which the US has not yet admitted to.

    And this is why we need to study history. Horrors happened during the holocaust. But the U.S. government has waged its own share of terror: Central America, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Iran, Cambodia, Indonesia and the countries where we were visibly fighting--Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam. These stories are painful, they are distressing, but we need to hear them and learn from them, because these are the sorts of things that have shaped the world we live in today.

      chomsky has said he is anti-marxist as he is critical of state power in all its forms, and also of hero worship, though he also sees the good in marxists part of the general working class movement, and of course isn’t such a baby tiny brain to think that marxist=stalinist
      give me any example of him being a fraud
      what on earth has your ridiculous idea of marxism got do with women’s sufferage?
      chomsky being a non-psychopath thinks all women should have a vote, something all marxists also believe strongly
      also on the charge of propagandist, i mean you simple havent ever heard the man speak or write of you think that, and are clearly yourself the one arguing in bad faith not chomsky
      disagree on the points - and i would sympathise, but to show yourself to be an mindless ideologue, that is a waste

      CHRONOLOGY OF MASS KILLINGS DURING THE CHINESE CULTURAL REVOLUTION (1966-1976)
      Date: 25 August, 2011. Auteur: Yongyi Song
      Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)
      Song Yongyi
      The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) was a historical tragedy launched by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It claimed the lives of several million people and inflicted cruel and inhuman treatments on hundreds of million people. However, 40 years after it ended, the total number of victims of the Cultural Revolution and especially the death toll of mass killings still remain a mystery both in China and overseas. For the Chinese communist government, it is a highly classified “state secret,” although they do maintain statistics for the so-called “abnormal death” numbers all over China. Nevertheless, the government, realizing that the totalitarian regime and the endless power struggles in the CCP Central Committee (CCP CC) were the root cause of the Cultural Revolution, has consistently discounted the significance of looking back and reflecting on this important period of Chinese history. They even forbid Chinese scholars from studying it independently and discourage overseas scholars from undertaking research on this subject in China.
      Owing to difficulties that scholars in and outside China encounter in accessing “state secrets,” the exact figure of the “abnormal death” has become a recurring debate in the field of China studies. Estimates by various scholars range from one-half to eight million. According to Rummel’s 1991 analysis of, the figure should be around 7.73 million (Rummel, 1991: 253). In the following year, however, Harvard scholar John K. Fairbank arrived at a rough estimate of around one million (Fairbank, 1992: 402). Several years later, Ding Shu, an overseas Chinese scholar, disagreed with Rummel’s conclusion by using diverse analyses, and estimated the figure to be around two to three million (Ding, 1999: 214). Recently, Andrew Walder and Su Yang contributed a much more detailed analysis of the death toll in China’s rural areas based upon statistics drawn from 1,500 Chinese county annals. In their estimate, “the number killed [was] between 750,000 and 1.5 million, with roughly equal numbers permanently injured” (Walder and Su, 2003). In a newly published biography of Mao Zedong by two UK authors, the estimated totality of death is discussed: “at least 3 million people died violent deaths and post-Mao leaders acknowledged that 100 million people, one-ninth of the entire population, suffered in one way or another” (Chang and Halliday, 2005: 547). Interestingly, the reporter of a Hong Kong-based political journal released the classified official statistics, according to which nearly two million Chinese were killed and another 125 million were either persecuted or “struggled against”(subjected to “struggle sessions”) as a result of the state-sponsored killings and atrocities committed during the Cultural Revolution (Cheng Min, 1996: 21-22). The average death toll based on the aforementioned six investigators’ figures is nearly 2.95 million. Considering that the Cultural Revolution took place in China during a period when it was not invaded by other states, the number of victims estimated above is extremely high.
      The widespread phenomenon of mass killings in the Cultural Revolution consisted of five types: 1) mass terror or mass dictatorship encouraged by the government - victims were humiliated and then killed by mobs or forced to commit suicide on streets or other public places; 2) direct killing of unarmed civilians by armed forces; 3) pogroms against traditional “class enemies” by government-led perpetrators such as local security officers, militias and mass; 4) killings as part of political witch-hunts (a huge number of suspects of alleged conspiratorial groups were tortured to death during investigations); and 5) summary execution of captives, that is, disarmed prisoners from factional armed conflicts. The most frequent forms of massacres were the first four types, which were all state-sponsored killings. The degree of brutality in the mass killings of the Cultural Revolution was very high. Usually, the victims perished only after first being humiliated, struggled and then imprisoned for a long period of time.
      The entire turbulent decade during which the waves of mass killings occurredis divided into four time periods:
      I. “The Red Terror” (August -- December 1966)
      II. “All-round Civil War” in China (January - December 1967)
      III. Killing for and by the New Organs of Power (1968-1971)
      IV. Endless Killing (1972-1977)
      I. “THE RED TERROR” (AUGUST -- DECEMBER 1966)
      The very beginning of the Cultural Revolution in China immediately led to violent mass chaos in June 1966. As indicated by a militant editorial on June 1 in the People’s Daily, an official guideline for the Cultural Revolution, the main purpose of this unprecedented political campaign was to “Sweep Away All Cow-Demons and Snake-Spirits,” which not only included traditional class enemies such as the “Five Black Categories” (landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists), but also “capitalist-roaders in the Party” (cadres) and “reactionary academics” (teachers and other intellectuals). Mao’s strategy for the Cultural Revolution included using forces both within and outside the Party to defeat his rivals in the Party and to bolster his own primacy, all in a manner inseparably linked to his political idealism. Mao and the Party Central stirred up the passions of thousands of rebellious youth in Beijing middle schools and colleges, where students began to establish Red Guards to challenge and attack school authority and teachers. During the short period of June- July 1966, mass violence spread over campuses, where teachers and other educators were abusively subjected to “struggle sessions,” humiliated, and beaten by fervent students. Despite the fact that the Chinese government had received urgent requests to curtail the wave of violence that was unfolding every day, Mao and the Party Central did not want to address the issue, as they “appeared to view it as a necessary feature of rebellion, and the suffering of victims as acceptable collateral damage” (Walder, 2009: 148).
      On July 28, 1966, Jiang Qing, Mao’s wife and a key figure of the Central Cultural Revolution Group, conveyed Mao’s instruction regarding mass violence at a students’ rally: “If good people beat bad people, it serves them right; if bad people beat good people, the good people achieve glory; if good people beat good people, it is a misunderstanding; without beatings, you do not get acquainted and then no longer need to beat them.”. In other words, Mao thought the government “should turn a blind eye to violence as an inevitable by-product” of the Red Guard mobilization (Walder, 2009: 149).
      In August, the main target of the Red Guards’ agitation shifted from campuses to the society at large. Xie Fuzhi, the Minister of Public Security, mirrored Mao’s attitude. In an important internal meeting, he directed all police stations and other security forces to assist Red Guards in identifying “reactionary” households for searching, beating and deportations. On August 22, at the climax of the mass terror in Beijing and other major cities, the CCP CC issued a directive entitled “Stipulations of the Ministry of Public Security forbidding the use of police force to suppress the revolutionary student movements,” which fueled the violence and put the targets of the Red Guards, several thousand people, in a virtually defenseless position. As a result, a significantly increased mass violence was perpetrated against those residents with “bad” family backgrounds: their houses were searched, their personal properties confiscated and then the entire households were expelled from the city to the countryside. A mob of thousands of Red Guards also roamed the cities’ streets and attacked any person whom they believed to have hobbies and consumer habits associated with the bourgeois class; the targeted individuals were then subjected to violent “struggle sessions.” When the waves of unrestricted violence swept over major cities all over China, ruthless mass killings ensued.

      I don't think there's a nation in the world as self-loathing as the United States. Maybe Britain. Probably Germany, but we're a close second. The genocide of the Native Americans, slavery, the Japanese internment camps, the indentured servitude of Chinese immigrants, war crimes in Vietnam, etc, etc, etc, have all been drilled into the heads of students across this country from middle school to the universities. What we fail to learn, as @armadillotoe points out, is that we pale in comparison to virtually every other nation on Earth. This is not "whataboutism"-- it's the simple recognition that all governments commit crimes, but some governments are simply worse than others.
      In all my experience with the US education system, there's plenty of focus on what makes America cruel, evil, genocidal, racist, sexist, etc, but virtually no focus on what makes us good. We could be using classrooms to have meaningful discussions about the role of the state. Instead, we simply berate our forefathers for their crimes, all without realizing that the philosophical tools we use to judge them were given to us by the so-called "western values" we now revile. Now our universities churn out class after class of ignorant, small-minded wannabe revolutionaries who hate themselves, hate their country, and hate their culture-- and we wonder why the nation is falling apart.
      Yes, I agree. Every US high schooler should learn US history-- past and present, good and bad, right and wrong. We should acknowledge our mistakes and analyze our successes, so that we can learn from both. But if we continue to tell our kids from day one that their very existence is a crime, that their culture is evil, and that their government is murderous, this country will become an empty husk of self-loathing that will be incapable of replicating any good deeds it may have done in the past.

There was a minor charge that would have been dropped if the case came forward since invading isn't a crime. The reason the nazis were on trial for the war crimes, in camps, POWs, Civilians, Genocide of jew. And it's ironic because Noam Chomsky describes himself as a socialist. Which is as Goebbels said are all anti semetic. Since Marx Wrote the jewish Question which inspired hitler. About the cabal of jewish capitalism running the world in the stock market.

    I think the problem with Chomskys' recrimination of US presidents, and I'm certain he understands this, is that their criminal behavior are not acts done autonomously or independently but have a broad institutional genesis and motivational impetus that far outweigh the force of will of any president to counter once elected to office. Foreign aggression is an ethos in the American political mindset and can only be countered by broad, sweeping demand for change from the American people themselves. Keeping the American people uneducated and in a continual cycle of fear and consumption guarantees the Presidents' bat boy status on team USA.

      That is true but it still ultimately comes down to a very small group of people...with the president having the final yes or no, in those decisions. (sure congress plays a role....but it's a rubber stamp role).
      I think you are slightly underestimating the role of presidents and especially their egos. They are as much propagandized people as anyone else. They truly believe they are shaping US history with "right" on their side.
      They don't believe they are criminals. They don't believe their actions are unjust. They are far more than "bat boys". They are the "managers" of policy. And to be a good manager you have to understand the game better than the players. You have to be willing to implement the policies of the institution.
      Presidents have so internalized the goals of the institution that when they are elected they already know what they have to do. Their "will" simply IS to execute policy beneficial to the institution.
      So in short they are propagandized and conditioned TO make those decisions independently. They are directly responsible for institutional policy implementation, and thus directly responsible on a personal level.

      Marc, you hit the mark. Follow the money. The U.S. is the muscle of corporations.
