If it was a kook website, you would have simply found something incorrect on it and shown us.

Okay. Try this for starters:

"Take a current example like Cuba, which has not been bombed and has not
suffered a war, but is poorer today than it was more than forty years ago when
Castro took power. In 1959, Cuba was the second richest country in Latin
America. Now it is the second poorest just before Haiti. Naturally,
Chomskyites will claim that the U.S. economic boycott is responsible. (The
devil made them do it.) But the whole rest of the world trades with Cuba.
Cuba not only trades with all of Latin America and Europe, but receives aid
from the latter. Moreover, in the 1970s and 1980s, the Soviet Union gave
Cuba the equivalent of three Marshall Plans in economic subsidies and
assistance -- tens of billions of dollars. Cuba is a fertile island with a tropical
climate. It is poor because it has followed Chomsky’s examples, and not
America’s. It is poor because it is socialist, Marxist and Communist. It is poor
because it is run by a lunatic and sadist. It is poor because in Cuba, America
lost the Cold War. The poverty of Cuba is what Chomsky’s vision and political
commitments would create for the entire world. "
