Which political issue gets under your skin the most?

In before shitting on Chomsky.
I've actually listened to quite a bit of Chomsky over the years. My take on him is, his detractors are a bit too unfair to him, and his supporters are a bit too generous with him. I disagree with his general sentiment that America is the cause and epicenter of all major problems in the world. However, his work with Linguistics will be studied into the future long after his politics have been all but forgotten.

I'm actually starting to be quite concerned for his health, considering how his voice is sounding in 2017.
 
90 year old former presidents acting like they're still in office

"Former US President George Bush Senior has apologised for any distress caused after an actress accused him of sexual assault.

Heather Lind said the 93-year-old former president had "touched me from behind from his wheelchair" and told a "dirty joke" while posing for a photo.

Ms Lind made the allegation on social network Instagram, in a post which has since been deleted.

A spokesman for Mr Bush said the incident was an attempt at humour."

LMAO. I saw this earlier today.
 
No, not exactly. It's obviously a complicated topic (and one that, as I said, is very concisely talked about in the above video), but what Westerners regard as communism basically flows entirely from the false base of Leninism, or later adaptions of Leninism as just crude despotism. Communism, as defined by Marx, must occur at the economic epicenter, whereby workers democratize the organs of the world economy and allow labor markets to subsequently liberate themselves until remaining capitalist states cannot thrive.

As I said, the Yugoslavian state was in my opinion a fairly accurate depiction of communism, but was torn apart by neoliberal external capitalist influences (which are particularly relevant to the struggles of state capitalist "communist" states in Latin America) and internal ethnic animosities.

If you'd like a run-down of the famous communist states and their doctrinal relation to the terms communism, socialism, and Marxism, I can try to set aside some time in the future.

EDIT: Also, I should clarify that I am fairly far removed, both temporally and ideologically, from my communist prime, so the information I'm capable of providing is less steak and more hamburger.
Ah, what the Hell, I'll bite. Sure, I'd like to see your correlations.
