--actually, Noam Chomsky made a speech in Pakistan this year in which he defended the use of children as soldiers in a socialist state, said it is actually one of the central goals of a liberated state. He said that children should be used by adults for the state's military ends. I understand that Aijaz Ahmad was by his side nodding his head in approval.
