Chomsky is brilliant, even on Harvest Festival Day. Here's a talk by him from
1989, which puts into perspective socialism and the Soviet Union, and why the
two are mutually exclusive. He mentions Germany as the most advanced
capitalist country of Lenin's time but doesn't mention what Germany became in
the 30's. Given that history doesn't repeat itself but does rhyme, this talk
against the backdrop of the Occupy movement has a certain eerieness to it in my
opinion.
