and furthermore etc.

Take a current example like Cuba, which has not been bombed and has not 
suffered a war, but is far poorer today than it was more than forty years 
ago when Castro took power. In 1959, Cuba was the second richest country in 
Latin America. Now it is the second poorest just before Haiti. Naturally, 
Chomskyites will claim that the U.S. economic boycott is responsible. (The 
devil made them do it.) But the whole rest of the world trades with Cuba. 
Cuba not only trades with all of Latin America and Europe, but receives aid 
from the latter. Moreover, in the 1970s and 1980s, the Soviet Union gave 
Cuba the equivalent of three Marshall Plans in economic subsidies and 
assistance -- tens of billions of dollars. Cuba is a fertile island with a 
tropical climate. It is poor because it has followed Chomsky’s examples, and 
not America’s. It is poor because it is socialist, Marxist and Communist. It 
is poor because it is run by a lunatic and sadist. It is poor because in 
Cuba, America lost the Cold War. The poverty of Cuba is what Chomsky’s 
vision and political commitments would create for the entire world.
