П.С. Спасибо за ссылку. Заслуженный, судя по всему автор этот Parenti
Да уж! И лекции везде читает и призы получает за писательские труды. И весь из себя - светоч либеральной инеллигенции(болтунов академических). Ярый сторонник социализма(перераспределения денек по-справедливости).
Parenti argues that “despite the well-publicized deficiencies, crimes, and injustices, there were positive features about existing communist systems that were worth preserving, such as the free medical care and human services; affordable food, fuel, transportation, and housing; universal literacy; gains in women’s rights; free education to the highest level of one’s ability; a guaranteed right to a job; free cultural and sporting events, and the like.”[6] He supported Gorbachev’s campaign of perestroika and glasnost until 1990 when it became evident to him that the Gorbachev reforms were leading to the implantation of free-market capitalism and were, as he saw it, bringing hardships to the common people.
Parenti maintains that the structural problems of free-market transnational capitalism will only worsen the living standards of people in the United States and abroad, while deepening the environmental crises. He advocates a greater measure of public ownership in the USA. Parenti asks “can socialism work? ... Is it not just a dream in theory and a nightmare in practice? Can the government produce anything of worth?”[8] He goes on to point out that it already does citing publicly owned transportation systems, utilities, banking, education, and health services that are run efficiently by the governments of the USA and various social democracies and at far less cost than their private counterparts.
"Это, граждане, типичный случай, так называемого "вранья""(с)
Этот гамнюк пишет о том, о чём не имеет ни малейшего понятия(жизнь при социализме, зарабатывание денег, etc. )
Впрочем Вам, как я вижу, его взгляды близки и привлекательны. Так что на Ваше "Спасибо" отвечаю "На здоровье".
