Can you, as an expert on Chomsky

Say what?

Sure now that Communism has become an embarrassing failure, he can afford an occassional criticial comment about the Soviet Union.

Are you saying that criticizing the Soviet Union during the Cold War was a difficult task? LOL! If someone absolutely wanted to fit in here in America, the easiest possible thing to do was to criticize the Soviet Union. The hardest possible thing to do was to state that the U.S. and the Soviet Union were competing empires, both trampling on the rights of the rest of the world.

The Soviet Union Versus Socialism

Noam Chomsky
Our Generation, Vol. 17, No. 2 (Spring/Summer 1986) pp. 47-52

Note that Brumar considers lack of criticism of the Soviet Union to be be equivalent to support of the Soviet Union. Which brings into mind Brumar's lack of criticism of U.S. crimes . . .
