Re: Chomsky on Anarchism (sidenote; education)
[ QUOTE ]
I don't see how this article by Chomsky can be interpreted to be anything other than tacitly supporting the Khmer Rouge and explicitly denying the genocide.

So provide some quotes to prove it. Or by "tacitly," do you mean that you get to reinterpret everything he says?
Here's a quote from the conclusion about reports of atrocities by the Khmer Rouge:
[ QUOTE ]
We do not pretend to know where the truth lies amidst these sharply conflicting assessments; rather, we again want to emphasize some crucial points. What filters through to the American public is a seriously distorted version of the evidence available
[/ QUOTE ]
This was 1977, for chrisakes. The "evidence available" was still trickling out, and as he showed, some was fake. He took the proper position of any skeptic: how do we know which reports are accurate when many have been fabricated?
