When he spoke in London last week, [...]

'When I was 10 years old, I wrote an essay about the rise of fascism and the fall of Barcelona," chuckles 81-year old political theorist Noam Chomsky.

Noam Chomsky in the Guardian: Anti-Americanism is a pure totalitarian concept. The very notion is idiotic. Of course you don’t deny other crimes, but your primary moral responsibility is for your own actions, which you can do something about. It’s the same charge which was made in the Bible by King Ahab, the epitome of evil, [...]
