Caligari questions Noam Chomsky on Ron Paul-
Mr. Chomsky, you've talked about the potential for workers losing their rights and "working 12 hours a day locked into a factory with no health-safety regulations, no security, no benefits" if Ron Paul gets elected, but in reality we've already shifted that burden to other countries such as China where slave labor is a standard practice. So you are saying that's fine, just don't bring it back here?
Chomsky: Mrmeeee...Mrmeeee...
Mr Chomsky, you say Ron Paul is proposing a form of ultra-nationalism, in which we are concerned solely with our preserving our own wealth and extraordinary advantages, getting out of the UN etc., but in reality what has current policy brought us thousands of U.S. deaths and millions of foreign casualties (through terrorism and war) not to mention trillions in tax dollars wasted in futile attempts at foreign intervention.
So keeping this in mind, how can you possibly say that Ron Paul's idea of staying out of the foreign affairs of other nations is a bad thing? In other words you would prefer the status quo of death and destruction to continue?
Chomsky: Mrmeee...Mrmeee...
etc etc etc
