（失败的国家：权力的滥用和民主被侵犯）Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

The United States has repeatedly asserted its right to intervene militarily against “failed states” around the globe. In this much-anticipated follow-up to his international bestseller Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky turns the tables, showing how the United States itself shares features with other failed states—suffering from a severe “democratic deficit,” eschewing domestic and international law, and adopting policies that increasingly endanger its own citizens and the world. Exploring the latest developments in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Chomsky reveals Washington’s plans to further militarize the planet, greatly increasing the risks of nuclear war. He also assesses the dangerous consequences of the occupation of Iraq; documents Washington’s self-exemption from international norms, including the Geneva conventions and the Kyoto Protocol; and examines how the U.S. electoral system is designed to eliminate genuine political alternatives, impeding any meaningful democracy.

Forceful, lucid, and meticulously documented, Failed States offers a comprehensive analysis of a global superpower that has long claimed the right to reshape other nations while its own democratic institutions are in severe crisis. Systematically dismantling the United States’ pretense of being the world’s arbiter of democracy, Failed States is Chomsky’s most focused—and urgent—critique to date.

另一个经常被政府利用的工具是存在于人们心中的，对无比邪恶的敌人随时毁灭美国的恐惧。这样的认知深深地扎根于美国的大众文化中,与之相伴的还有对摧毁敌人的正义性的深信不疑，回顾历史就能发现，这样一种坚信几乎是普遍存在的。布鲁斯-富兰克林对美国早期的大众文化进行了一次启迪性的回顾， 他发现了类似“英美战争辛迪加”这样的重要主题，该辛迪加为推行其“和平而开明的规则”可能将“扫除”妨碍它的人，它还将给落后的民族带去“文明的精神”（1889年）富兰克林还回顾了历史上美国对即将毁灭自己的敌人的出色选择，通常被选中的都是正被美国踩在脚下的人，如印度人、黑人和中国劳工等。参与挑选的还有像杰克-伦敦 这样的一流进步作家：1910年时杰克-伦敦在一家很受欢迎的期刊上发表了一篇文章,提议用生物武器灭掉中国，以阻止其打垮美国的 “阴谋”。
