The fact that you lived under a bad government, while sad, doesn't invalidate Noam's statement.

  Maybe. But the fact that we haven't encountered those "pure tyrannies" anywhere sure does.

    I won't dive into details, but please consider that maybe you're not recognizing them.

      Considering I lived under a tyranny, I should be fairly qualified to recognize one if I see it. But I can always be wrong, so I am open to examples.
