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.
