maybe you can't wrap your head around it, but there is a more nuanced idea here about soviet socialism

more nuanced lol
He just compared it to slavery. In that analogy the argument he's making actually articulates exactly why the ends don't justify the means. Basically you can point to any society that saw growth and justify their genocidal policies. He's saying that's not appropriate to do for capitalism so once again why would it be appropriate for socialism? If anyone is missing the point here it's you.
And actually some of the rhetoric he gave there was pretty dishonest as well... The idea that the only threat the west saw in the soviet system was it's rapid growth... That's utterly false lol. I guess chomsky is full of **** too.
