  20. acti-veg said: to be his stance. There were many western intellectuals who denied genocide occurring by communist regimes, some of whom I admire, like Sartre, or at least he initially denied it until the proof was incontrovertible. I’ve no particular attachment to Chomsky over anyone else, and I’d have no issue accepting this if it were actually true. You can critique his response to this as a problematic, id be more than understanding of that, but my issue is that people misrepresent his views and his words
  21. acti-veg said: @tragicallyphosphorescent I can defend him on the basis that he absolutely did not say that, as I’ve already said. Chomsky has concerns about the word genocide being applied only when it is politically inconvenient, and so does not use it in many contexts. He’s the actuallt pointed out in that essay was that the US refused to call their genocide of a million people a genocide, but called the killing of 8,000 a genocide, which ‘cheapens the word and makes it meaningless.’ That was and continues
  22. acti-veg said: @tragicallyphosphorescent which again, is a well documented and long debunked myth.
  23. acti-veg said: @tragicallyphosphorescent Chomsky is not a communist, he is an anarchist, getting that basic fact wrong isn’t encouraging. He also didn’t deny the genocide in Cambodia, this was a myth put about by the right at the time and prevailing to say, despite the fact that you can read his own article on the topic online.
