[Marxism] Chomsky breaks silence on election results

["Charlie Parks" <jcparks5550@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

(from Chomsky's Znet blog):
We have a fairly clear idea of what [Bush?s] planners want, but what we can
expect depends on circumstances, including those we create.  That?s what
should concern us, not speculating about what we cannot know.

The outcome was a disappointment, but there have been disappointments
before.  Take 1984, when essentially the same gang of thugs?a little less
tilted to the extreme reactionary statist side?won by a 2-1 margin, with
about the same percentage of the electoral vote as today. And they were
engaged in horrendous atrocities abroad and very harsh and destructive
programs for most of the population at home.  The world didn?t come to an
end.  In fact, activism proved quite effective.
