“Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system which, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented, because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error. The idea of 'free contract' between the potentate and his starving subject is a sick joke, perhaps worth some moments in an academic seminar exploring the consequences of (in my view, absurd) ideas, but nowhere else.” IfsHumansMadeIdeasMomentsWould BeFormViewsOpinionSubjectsPossibilityJokesCapitalismConsequenceSickErrorsTyrannyAbsurdOppressionContractsAcademicExploringHuman HistoryStarvingCounterpartsColossalSeminars Author:Noam Chomsky

“A cruel joke has been played on us. We are fated always to remember what we learned but never to recall the experiences that taught us. Who can remember being born? Yet, it is possible to speculate that anxiety has its roots in this experience, that dread of abandonment, fears of separation, intolerable loneliness go back to this moment. Who can remember being cared for as an infant? ... Who can remember being toilet-trained? ... Who can remember the attachment which developed to the parent of the opposite sex? ... We cannot remember but what we have forgotten lives on dynamically.” Has BeensMomentsRememberSexParentBornLonelinessTaughtAnxietyJokesRootsOppositesForgottenSeparationAttachmentDreadRecallsInfantToiletsAbandonmentTaught Us Author:Jo Coudert
