Re: Hegemony or Survival?
I've read this. I think Chomsky's claims on the nature of man are not only flawed, but just flat out assumed.
What do I mean? Define "war:" Violence between two groups of people ... over land? over religion? over interests? Does it matter what?...
I don't buy that there was ever a period in human history where "war," by a reasonable definition did not occur. In my mind Chomsky weasels to avert Hobbes and even Rousseau, as Rousseau's natural state accepts violence.
