  • Very enjoyable thank you

  • interesting video and very informative

  • i wish you come to our country and discuss this to our goverment

  • Prof. Chomsky - one of the several people that help m to sleep at night. Thank You :)

  • You have to fuck it up to advance, you need a winter for spring, we definatly got winter, spring is the only option, or death, which is a lot more interesting then not knowing what you are up against or what the lessons and the initiatives need to be. So we are now setting up a site with actual projects, wintergardens on top of supermarkets for direct delivery downstairs reduce traffic with 40 percent, building pools and using swimming pools for fish breeding, all projects and info we need.

  • @soldierofvanity so soon you have a myspace or facebook to make your sign state your skills, apply your company, get the crap solved into valuable projects, join or die. This whole shithole of a planet we got now makes it all the easyer option to present you the answers.

  • @soldierofvanity Alot of good ideas-but first we need lnterest Free Money-Instead of Computer(created out of thin air)Digits that banks"loan"out to people,business and govts-With added interest.Hardwork typing a £$200,000 mortgage on a keyboard and calling for EVERYONE to slave,cutback+buy cheap shit made by businessess finding cheap labour and resources(tearing up the planet)coz their customers(+ probably themslves)are in massive debt to the 1% who RUN the "money" system.DEMAND Govt 0% $£s etc

  • @Slave2PaperWithInkOn well i'm definatly not good for finances, i have myself no idea how to get the proper amount of money to the person that crafts or enjoy most, its the reasonable absurdity that the contrast to having much money and not? and then what do you own with this? if everyone gets the same amount of money, where will they live? where? if everyone gets a lot. why would they work? then they would work for free but there is no reward back for artisan craft or such.

  • @Slave2PaperWithInkOn government is always an insurence for trouble, or organize massive scale projects that everyone approves, but why not have people directly vote on valuable projects? why would you vote for a government, they screw it up, then you have to sit to the next one, and do for profit unsolvable things again. the best is to vote instantly for the project, evaluated by a professional commission, to review the details. in any case one needs to compose, its a work of artists

  • @atosafi1 what is interested of this video is that Chomsky dismantles the general accepted meaning of globalisation according to some of the principles established by Adam Smith, who is consider the father of liberalism. I don't care if Chomsky is a comunist or what. The whole point is that even if we look at globalisation from the liberal point of view, this world is not more free, global or better, as Milton Friedman, to name a neo-liberal, may say it is, but in fact the opposite.

  • Three words, "New World Order". Once all countries become one the antichrist can force the world to take the number of the beast or be exterminated.

  • Chomsky has made millions being subsidized by the Pentagon over the years. He is the very thing he says he opposes. He's worth millions, driven by the profit motive in selling books and mp3s, paid lectures (over $10k each), owning a million-dollar vacation home, sheltering his money from taxation through a trust, etc. He is a very rich social parasite government contractor capitalist posing as some sort of poor humble socialist revolutionary.

    Revel in the hypocrisy, people.

  • @MillionthUsername

    "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them" - Lenin

    On the other hand, you are attacking him and his person - rather than his ideology and politics - which is typically attributed to the right-wing(think Tea Party).

  • @atosafi1 So your point is that no one should care about such blatant hypocrisy? Fine, if that's your opinion. But then it hardly makes sense to criticize others for theirs. It's laughable for Chomsky to criticize the "military industrial complex" when he makes millions from it just like Halliburton and Blackwater.

    If it's ok for him to milk the system and exploit others, why shouldn't everyone then? Why should anyone be motivated to change the system if it's more profitable to embrace it?

  • @MillionthUsername Chomsky isn't an angel, and I'm sure if I tried I could dig up dirt about just about anyone, you included. It's like saying Michael Moore has no right criticize rich people/capitalism because he's wealthy - it makes no sense at all.

    Maybe you've heard of Olof Palme, he was a democratic socialist yet he came from an upper-class family.

    Chomsky's criticism is valid, whether he is a hypocrit or not doesn't matter - we like him because of his politics and ideology.

  • @atosafi1 "...he is a hypocrit or not doesn't matter - we like him because of his politics and ideology."

    His hypocrisy nullifies his politics & ideology. It demonstrates that he does not even believe it himself. He's purely out for profit. He's a capitalist - a fascist actually since he works as a defense contractor. He has so little faith in his professed principles that he voluntarily chose to work for what he calls (in his fantasy life as a socialist anarchist) "the most evil institution."

  • @MillionthUsername Who gives a damn? He could have been a horse or a goat for all I care, as long as the critique is valid - which it is.

  • @atosafi1 He critique is not valid. His own actions show that he does not believe what he preaches. That's what hypocrisy does. It exposes the lies and inner contradictions people carry around with them. We can see that Chomsky is not a "socialist" or an "anarchist" in any meaningful way. He is clearly a fascist and a capitalist by his actions. That he preaches the opposite only goes to show that he either can't or doesn't want to live by his expressed ideals. So why should others?

  • @MillionthUsername Right... well if you're finished with your verbal diarrhea let me say this again; his critique is valid.

  • @atosafi1 If the socialist critique is valid, how come none of the socialists ever want to live socialism? People like Chomsky and Michael Moore blab the socialist rhetoric for the cameras, but in private they live like capitalist fat cats. They are "greedy" and they "exploit" people and they "waste resources," and they "don't pay their fair share." They certainly don't submit their wealth to some "democracy" of the people. Blah, blah, blah.

  • @MillionthUsername

    "One of the most ironic things about capitalism is that the capitalist will sell you the rope to hang himself with. Actually they will give you the money to make a movie that makes them look bad, if they believe they can make money off it." - Michael Moore

    And you're saying "none of the socialists want to live socialism" - what do you mean? It's hard trying to "live" something that does not exist. And you're generalizing like hell.

  • @atosafi1 Leading socialists like Chomsky and Moore live like capitalists. Capitalists live like capitalists because they believe in capitalism. But socialists don't live like socialists because they really don't believe in socialism. Neither Chomsky nor Moore want their wealth redistributed. Chomsky has a trust to avoid estate taxes. They have POWER/MONEY/ STATUS to voluntarily IMPLEMENT some socialist ideals, but their actual CHOICES are no different. than the evil "greedy" capitalist.

  • @MillionthUsername Your incoherent ranting is giving me a headache - I don't even know why you care, why you think anyone else cares, why you are obsessed with Moore and Chomsky and so on. I couldn't care less if Moore is a hypocrite or not, I like his movies and that's all I care about. Whether he is the sporn of Satan or not is less interesting.

  • @atosafi1 what is a Sporn? Is it similar to a Spork (Spoon/fork)?

  • my preparation for my english oral exam tomorrow :)

  • Where and when was this lecture? I need to cite it.

  • i wish he was my lecturer .... he explains things so well and they reflect reality not theory. great man

  • just listen to what the guy has to say, instead of trying to track who is "behind" him

    if nothing else, you will get improved language skills in trying to debace him, without resorting to boring banalities. The only subject where Noam is bewildered would have to be 9/11, but there is also alot of factors non-related to 9/11, and common ground to be found, outside of it

  • US crop subsidies are the reason Mexican farmers cannot compete with US farmers. I wish we would have addressed that before signing NAFTA.

  • I just wrote a paper on globalization that focuses directly on the impact of NAFTA on Mexico, so weird i never even thought of checking to see what his take was...but he is right that Mexico is having economic problems that are directly related to the agreement.

  • "By globalization we simply mean the process of increasing (mutual?) interconnectedness between societies such that events in one part of the world more and more have effects on people and societies far away" /Baylis Smith, the globalization of world politics.

  • Would be great if the tea party set would adopt Chomsky as a guru. They're being so mislead and they'll only end up poorer and more desperate for answers because of it. I read so many comments and news articles from people who have entirely the wrong ideas about things and it's very disheartening. The information is out there, if only people would listen instead of always speaking. We have the right to free speech in the US, but without the will to listen, we could lose it.

  • @doston1 The only voice people should listen to is their own critical thinking. Put simply...Individual responsibility = Good. Social collectivism = Bad. Big tyrannical govt = Bad. Guaranteed individual rights = Good.

    It is that simple, for those too lazy or unwilling to analyze the complexities of politics and people. And on the Tea Party, the founder even admitted that it was hijacked by Neocons for their own political ends and Chomsky is just another Govt contracted Shill.

  • Firestrings: apparently you didn't even read what I wrote. After the revolution the US government raised massive trade barriers against British imports and built the railroads and steel companies which industrialized the USA with monopoly powers, free land grants, and massive government subsidization, all in radical rejection of market principles and Smith's advice to the USA to pursue its comparative advantage in fur and fish, so you're exactly, 100% wrong.

  • And note the inegalitarian growth of the 1920s. Check the Brookings Institute, in 1929 the top 0.1% of Americans had a combined income equal to the bottom 42% and controlled 34% of savings, when 80% of Americans had no savings. Productivity increased per capita 32%, while percentage of disposable income per capita was an increase from 20% to 29%, compared with for the top 0.01%, a 75% increase. The "Golden Age" was Golden for some people, for sure, but very few.

  • Can somebody please tell me where he gave this speech, what venue, and what year, and is there another part to this speech.

    Many Thanks

  • Can somebody please tell me where he gave this speech, what venue, and what year, and is there another part to this speech.

    Many thanks

  • good video i think is true becouse change the world the globalization

  • the social integration is the only one which we as a mass are aware of unfortunately, even the rich write our school books and pay our teachers.

    this trend will continue as long as public works are owned privately, aka by the capitalists. Fuck those bastards. i swear to god im young angry and poor but im not stupid, spread the word about the atrocities hidden in the closet.

  • Capitalism, Corporate or State dominated or In It together is the wage slavery of immense humanity for abstract process of Capital accumulation and concentration for the elite, 250 top corporations control over 1/3 of the world GDP. More than 3 billion workers are on 2 dollars a day. Capitalism is template of perpetual war,oppression,enviornmental destructions,animal cruelty and suffering, A dehumanising distorting minority imposition in thier inatiable drive for ever more Profit no matter what

  • @arzoyan You are confused, you must research what the cause of poverty is and the relationship between governments and corporations. Also, research the cause of financial instability in any country and the cause is the same. Free market capitalism has nothing to do with social problems, in fact free market capitalism is what solved most social problems, but that was 100 years ago.

  • Comment removed

  • @fire Your mind is colonised for commercial use. Free Market is a contradiction in terms, Market Capitalism has been dominated by rich and powerfull having the full backing of the State machinery in its insatiable nomadic rampaging for profit. You are suffering from cerebral myopia and emotional manipulation.

  • @arzoyan Lol, when you're done spewing rhetoric actually do some research into the subject, we have not had free market capitalism for over 100 years. What you call "Capitalism" is actually socialism. Where the state intervenes in the free market, centralized financial policies, pass legislation that benefits specific companies that kills competition, etc. Socialism is the real enemy and if you doubt that then visit Cuba once in your life, then you'll probably understand.

  • @fir Capitalism is a global system of commodity production for profit in a World Market of artificial scarcity and political manipulation in the interest of the Owning/Ruling class. China and Cuba are as much part of the world capitalist market as USA, what you are spewing is the mind control and distortions of the ruling elite, you are acting like a parrot in a cage recycling lies of your owners.

  • @arzoyan You have the warped view on what capitalism is.The ruling elite are not capitalists,they are socialists believe it or not.The elite who reached the top did not want anybody challenging their preeminence so they bought the power of law to create legislation to kill competition,manipulate economic policy and force people to buy what they create.If you're unable to analyze objectively the facts without your dogmatic views clouding it,then no matter how much you read you'll still be a fool.

  • @firestrings272 dude you need to do YOUR research, the idea of a free market economy is a convenient fiction which can never work as a model until it recognises the finite nature of the worlds resources and values happiness over wealth.

  • @psydiddley The golden age of the USA was based on the free market principle and that is why the USA became such a great nation. Free market economy simply means that the government has no place in the private sector. Wealth IS happiness and if the energy industry was free, there would have been innovation to replace all fossil fuels, just look at what happened to Nikola Tesla. the govt has no place telling us what we can and can't productively do.

  • @firestrings272 Which era are you talking about? Post-revolution where the US government rejected Adam Smith's suggestion to pursue their comparative advantage in fish and fur trade in order to push massively government funded industrialization? The nation built on the labor of slaves and massive trade barriers raised against British product? Was it during the World Wars, when the government took over companies and the economy became a war driven, command based economy?

  • @firestrings272 When was this fantasy capitalist USA "golden age" ?

  • @MoralityAsTimidity Golden Age started after World War I, US was very wealthy. it's known as "crazy 20's" (don't really sure the exact name, but in spanish is "los locos años veinte") you can find some pics about housewives with expensive ovens and smily families, similar to coca-cola advertising ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @karolagreen Plus, lest we forget....what did all this decade lead up to? The Great Depression?

  • @MoralityAsTimidity What led to the great depression was the government intervention that the Federal Reserve Bank did to "help" Just like our present predicament. The great depression was caused by the central bank.

  • @karolagreen The large increase in consumerism in the 20s - of automobiles, radios, and theaters - was largely pushed by and reliant upon the public building of infrastructure to support them - electricity, roads, plumbing, none of these are the products of markets. The governments raised taxes to pay for these as well as cover for war debts. Further, at the national level, the trade barriers erected against Europe were severe...

  • @karolagreen ...Usually "free market" economists use the 1920s to show a failure of capitalism in pointing to these trade barriers as creating an imbalance which leads to the Great Depression. So it's hard to see anything like pure capitalism, free markets, lack of government intervention, or whatever you want to call it.

  • @MoralityAsTimidity After the civil war - 1913. And even before that.

  • @firestrings272 The greatest achievements the US made, such as the interstate highway system and the Apollo missions were accomplished at a time when the highest income bracket tax rate was at around 90%. Unsurprisingly, the rich were still rich, and a lot more got done.

  • @Erverino Yeah and the reason why the rich were still rich was and is because they invested into very lucrative tax loop holes and tax shelters. So, just like now, the rich are able to legally evade not paying a great portion of their taxes. Neither rich nor poor should pay income tax.The Interstate highway system was inspired by the Autobahn and pushed by big business into creation, for profit. Apollo, another project pushed for by the German scientists smuggled into the US during Project...

  • @Erverino ...Paperclip, used the pretext of fighting the commies to get congress to authorize the huge budget necessary for the program. But because it was a government effort, and specifically a military effort into space, the public has not been privy to the most amazing finds of that program. Buzz Aldrin came out 50 years after the fact saying that he did in fact see a UFO. And then you have Maurice Chatelain saying that every Apollo mission was followed by a UFO.

  • @firestrings272

    Yes the relationship between governments and corporations are the reason for poverty. It's the corporations that control the government htats the problem. Capitalism did not solve social problems. Minimum wage would not have happened under free market capitalism. Workers rights would not have come under free market capitalism. Theres a reason why theres a mix economy between socialism and capitalism. There has to be.

  • @themasterplan23 Capitalism empowered the farmer to sell his crops, in his own store run by his children and keep the profits to use for whatever his family needed.Capitalism allowed the accumulation of wealth and the growth of big companies,what happened?Employees developed the trade union to secure ample compensation and guarantee ample productivity so in fact,workers rights is a result of capitalism. Minimum wage has been a certified mistake,destroying apprenticeships and menial labor.(cont.)

  • @firestrings272 This would all be solved if you just worshipped pagan goat god, he'd help grow plenty of food.

  • @themasterplan23 Why do you think we don't have full service pumps anymore? It's not like pre-1967, the elderly and poor were rotting in the streets. Collectivist policies, universally destroy because they do not produce anything. Capitalism produces, socialism takes away and the question is, who is going to take it, how much, for what, etc. By allowing such a centralized idealogy to control our economy, we have the disaster that the US is in this very day.

  • NAFTA screwed Mexico and now we complain about the illegal flow of immigrants and the crime now pouring into our borders. Stabilizing the country would have helped, not lowering the wages of people in Mexico.

    Great video though.

  • The Noamster ! A genius, a true marketing genius. I personally know dozens of sentimental dipshit Lefties who dutifully buy his books.He has made milions, lived the American Dream.Props to Big Bad Noam.

  • The ganging together of the rulers of the world in pillaging and exploiating immense humanity in their insatiable drive for private gain and greed in a politically manipulated MARKET SYSTEM OF ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY to perpetuate wage-slavery/exploitation. We can organise for a democratic majority movement to reclaim our lives for a world of cooperation for our common needs and well being in harmony and meaningful plenty

  • Nazi is a compliment for a pisashit like you.

  • "everyone is for globalization"

    what about conservatives?

    ...what about the nice man yelling "praise be to allah and mutilate all those opposed to him"

  • greece is poor i hope they die today all. from albania

  • the kind of globalization that im against is international goverment, or the destruction of independent states...all states should govern themselves, including the united states...the only thing that should be expected of independent states, is that they dont enslave theyr people and keep them from leaving the country if they desire to..otherwise i say leave independent states to govern themselves...or well wind up with a one world tyranny

  • who got up during a noam chomsky speech. sheeesh

  • Mr/Ms csc302, could you tell me when and where this speech was given. Also if you know what the speech was called. Thank you!

  • The pretence that corporations are necessary for the government of the trade is without any foundation.

    from Adam Smith, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

  • Hi!

    I have a question about Noam Chomsky. I want to know if Noam Chomsky has studied mathematics anytime.

    I hope for your answer

    bye

  • He is right on most points. On Bretton woods at 4:57 he isn't exactly right. The Bretton Woods agreement was designed not to handcuff finance capital but to nuture it. The Keynesian economy was the incubator that planted the seeds for today's neo-liberalism. See NSC-68 1950 - The US goal was create a world system conducive to their material hegemony. Kennedy/ Congress both endorsed the Euro single market. Bankers were never put second in line to workers...only when they needed rehab 1945-1981

  • Maynard Keynes was a Debt Syndicate mole, a vile criminal.

    Bretton Woods was conducted in light of the fact that the wage, pension & clearing funds had been invaded by the Federal Reserve System, and that Money had been removed from the hands of The People to be replaced with irredeemable debt currency under fractional reserve.

    The purpose was to INTRODUCE a business cycle, a fraud to expropriate the Wealth of Nations.

    This is a Crime Against Humanity, of stupefying proportion.

  • Everyone favors globalization..

    ..really ?

  • You can rewatch that section, its followed by a however,and the simplest definition at the very beginning.

  • New World Order, Rothschild & British Nazi Monarch..

  • is that supposed to be an answer to my question ?

  • You don't favour international integration dusteroo? The rejection of nationalism, the acceptance that humans are one people and should be treated accordingly?

  • Am I the only one who just wants to cuddle with him?

  • tHE GOOD PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS PUSHED TO THE FRINGES BY THE DEMONS WHO WILL ALWAYS DO ALL TO STICK TO POWER. This is is one one the finest asset of America,Agreat man both inside and outside.

    God bless you.

  • great man. so intelligent and educated, yet so humble, and good-intended

    (engl not my native lang, sry)

  • @foobarsnow I wouldn't say yet so humble, however, yes - a brilliant mind indeed

  • @foobarsnow wat u talk'n bout fool your langlais is sweet ! so no more complaints !

  • @foobarsnow Yep. And no issues with ur english either. :)

  • Smart man.

  • When he says everyone's in favor of globalization, think he is talking about his own elite friends. I suspect if he talked to the 25% unemployed in america, he would hear a different story. Me, I don't see the point in using 61% of worlds oil transporting crap around the world, especially if it can be made locally. Which makes me feel pretty crappy about having to pay a bullshit carbon tax that might save 1% world oil usage.

    Bullshit still reign's.

  • He has clearly made a distinction between financial globalization, and the globalization favored by alter-globalists and the World Social Forum. The distinction is crucial. In the latter sense of the term, every sane person supports it.

    As far as the local sustainability thing, youre right. The large amount of energy used to transport food is largely due to free trade, where foreign business can lower labor costs by outsourcing production to 3rd world countries.

  • noam is a jew... and you are a white racist, that thinks that white people can go anywhere and create superpowers out of nothing...

  • i am very much not in favor of globalization

    One thing that i disagree with mr. chompsky

  • So what does globalization mean?

  • The solution is Proletarian solidarity!

    Workers of the world unite! The fascist corporitism of private plunder called capitalism will come to an end.

  • So whats your alternative? A dictatorship of the "proletariat"? Doesnt the word dictatorship sort of dissuade you from Marxist tyranny? Communism is not the cure, but capitalism is still the disease. The answer is not Marx, the answer is Bakunin and SEK3. Isnt it painfully obvious that a command economy is an abject failure? Every state-Socialist nation has collapsed or crumbled, unless they privatize certain sectors. No one person or group can calculate the needs of citizens, hence the market.

  • Chomsky didn't mention "a dictatorship of the 'proletariat'" at all in this video, nor did he advocate Marx. Learn to pay closer attention to what's actually said rather than making broad and unfounded assumptions.

  • whats your point? I never said Chomsky did, I was refuting PersianMarxists point that Marxism is the solution to capitalist tyranny. Marxism degenerates into statism, almost all the time, at the expense of workers.

    Ive watched more Chomsky than I care to admit, and I know that he is not a Marxist.

    Learn to pay attention to whats actually said rather than making broad and unfounded assumptions.

    Anarchism is the natural extension of the Enlightenment era, not state-Socialist despotism.

  • Chomsky is a libertarian socialist and a bakunist.

  • yeah, but I think you mean anarcho-syndicalist, of which Bakunin was a supporter. No such thing as "bakunist" to my knowledge. also, as a side note, cult of personality is very dangerous. Id be wary of anybody giving their own name to a political movement, seems pretty arrogant and egotistical to me.

  • you say potato, I say potato ...

    an anarcho-syndicalist is a bakunist alright, as an state socialist is a marxist.

    but bakunin the way he was would never put his own name in the ideology.

  • well no, because the groundwork of anarcho-syndicalism was laid by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, not Bakunin. Bakunin popularized it within the First International.

    Its because anarcho-syndicalism was not HIS ideology, though he did adopt it and refined it, later coming in conflict with Marxist statism in the First International. His introduction of anarcho-syndicalism to the First International later led to its implementation in Spain, France, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands.

  • Um not really.. Anarcho-syndicalism started only in the ~1890's or so when anarchists infiltrated the radical labor union milieu, leading to a cross breeding between revolutionary syndicalism and anarchism - > anarcho-syndicalism. But Bakunin's ideas on revolution were pretty much foreran A-Syn, as well.

  • Stop nit picking any movement has to start somewhere. Some things are named after their origin....so what. Its not the originators who name something after themselves. Its those who come after.

  • @THRILLHOUSE85 his response to globalisation is localised power and the loss of speculative power of banks/investors. i.e. he promotes decentralised power thus giving production decisions back to each individual or tiny locale. anarchy/libertarianism, not marxism which requires the domination by those making the decisions of the larger collective

  • @THRILLHOUSE85 This is an addendum to your comment. Chomsky is in no way indebted to Marx and has never cited him or recommended him. The general make-up of Chomsky's whole critique of economics comes from Adam Smith

  • @Bellantoni Interesting to know, Bellantoni. Cheers for that.

  • @THRILLHOUSE85 What does "a dictatorship of the proletariat" mean?

  • @gorgorybmus

    nowadays it would basically mean democracy

  • Go study your history my friend.

  • Does anyone have an idea what program/channel this video came from? I am messaging the uploader as well, but he hasn't signed in for 6 months. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • you are neutral in judgement jeffrey? so what is your stand on slavery and the holocaust? During slave societies, slave owner believed that a slavocracy was necessary in a market economy. Hitler believed what he was doing was righteous on his part to kill millions of jews. There shouldn't be a debate about good and evil, but rather what do you consider a benefit and disadvantage. I guess slaves and the millions who died on hitlers hands had a disadvantage or misfortunes.

  • hey, Renegen1, the government is NOT #1... the ppl are! it is the ppl who vote and the ppl who DO have the power. What you are proposing is merely a conspiracy theory. Chomsky brings up controversial points but one should learn to accept two sides to the story and make your own judgement then. if u " worship his every words" ( grammatical error btw ) you are not thinking, per se. I myself follow the neutral line of thinking. there is no good or evil, just benefit and disadvantage.

  • Good points. Hope everyone listens to him carefully. The outsourcers and all have done nothing to bring wealth to our country, it's been a disaster to the working class.

  • Wtf? if they don't have free education, and they don't, then they can't get better work, what a poorly thought out argument. And what is the justification for the comparitive advantage the rich enjoy, since most of them were BORN rich?

  • Cheers for this!

  • Chomsky is a bit off in terms of what the problem is. Globalization comes from regulation. As the Federal Reserve's power, and the Governments power increases, while they subsidize corporations(which is NOT economic freedom)through multiple different ways (foreign and domestic) inflation goes through the roof. And at the same time we join entangling alliances which once again is subsidizing one thing while demonizing another. Luckily this is a self destructive system. The dream of Adams and Marx

  • I think you're a bit off in terms of what the problem is, you think still in terms of ideologies! That's called propaganda believing in some far reaching theory. I could barely understand how inflation is created from government spending, your economic theory is really bad too. Go back and hit the books, or better yet, don't insult Chomsky and worship his every words instead, you'll benefit a lot.

  • The problem is systems and ideologies. Not people. If you think in terms of good and evil people, than you still have a slave mentality. Everyone has morals to an extent. It's just a matter of how the person choices to convey them. The government thinks what they are doing is best for the people. It's willing to destroy and sacrifice even the people they take care for what they see as the "greater good". Or in my opinion, they are amoral (psychotic). In a sense everything is ideologies.

  • HAHAHA, the government is doing what's best for the people? Where did you pull out that shit from? This couldn't be farther from the truth. You're in a Noam Chomsky video on globalization and you STILL think there's some mythical godlike government out there wanting to "help you"? Wake up, the "government" is nothing more than corporate thugs, and their goal is simple, class warfare. The poorer you are, the more their wealth and power is guaranteed.

  • What THEY think is best for the people. Like a psychopath who eats someone in thinking it will save their soul.

  • Why would they spend more than 5 seconds thinking about someone besides themselves? Stop trying to rationalize it that somehow they have their best intentions for humankind and all of that nonsense but they're misguided. They want to be kings and everyone else a serf, that's it. Once you become #1 your whole goal is to STAY #1.

  • Word. All the shit get from Them, media basicaLLY(t.v., movies, primary, secondary education) is just public relations.

    But I think it worked, We have become like Them, or are Them, culturally at least, comical though without the economic power.

  • "worship his every words"

    Don't even argue with this idiot.

    Prospect Magazine Global Public Intellectuals Poll.

    The Prospect/Foreign Policy list of 100 global public intellectuals suggested that the age of the great oppositional thinker was over, but Noam Chomsky's emphatic victory shows many remain nostalgic for it.

  • Hey boyfriends how is the sexy captain of the cheerleader team such a depressed lady!

  • Chomsky certainly points out some of the inherent contradictions in the model of capital globalization that is permeating our world. It's sad, production workers make up 70% of the US's entire workforce, yet those jobs are being outsourced because of, primarily, pressure from retailing stores on manufacturing sectors.

  • Globalization = New Communism.

  • Globalization = Imperialism

  • Noam Chomsky is a Fascist Redirect Agent for the NWO.

    'He discusses a mere fraction of the real elite manipulation and then quickly pushes his followers into dead-end solutions and alienating rhetoric'

    'who does [his] best to appear radical while avoiding all the hardcore issues and deliberately leading the Left into oblivion. '

  • I thought so too. Now i realise that he isn't a 'NWO agent' as I see many people believe. In Understanding Power there's a chapter in which he talks about a new world order where politics is becoming even more insulated from policy, a global economic system. After all, he can't talk cover every world issue. I am disappointed in his lack of investigation into 911. I decided that was to not damage his prestige.

  • What can one say? Chomsky is such an inspiration and eye-opener. So much truth..

  • come mexicans come !

    foreigners come !

    globalization ! ! !

    adam smith was right ! !

    but he didnt foresee capitalism ! ! !

  • Right. We're going to listen to you because you've exhibited such an obvious command of language and commnication. I am overcome by your powers of persuasion. Let me click out of this video, because I've wasted my time listening to Chomsky ... all along I should have been subscribed to tbeginnerz's channel!

  • yay!!

  • take his opinion, then go look for another guys, and another, and another.

    and make one for yourself, what are you stupid?

  • They were better 25 yrs ago than they were in the historical era before that (feudalism). The quality of life (literacy, mortality rate, etc) increased exponentially since the Chinese Revolution.

    Look at India - they didn't have a revolution and are much more behind China, and has a similar population.

  • do you have a link to this info?

  • You're a fool, Ive studied Psychology; and if you knew anything about NLP and Hypnosis you would know it has to be voluntary.

  • Am just wondering. Where did he hold this lecture? i wud need to reference it to an assignmnet. Please update me. Thank you.

  • Governments know the power that comes to them from playing to fear. The art is the labeling of enemies (usually economic competitors) and depicting them as godless, immoral, heathens (yes...'redundant')LOL. My surprise is how often it works. The terminology used to describe the offender is anti-capitalist, socialist, or even communist; (Those Bastards, the Haters...HATERS of FREE MARKETS... Free Markets?...They'll say, "Hold on though...we didn't mean for you to include free markets for labor").

  • what the fuck

  • Elementry27 ease up, I too am white but know the brutal effects weve created. OakLeaf you are naive. NAFTA was signed for free trade & in "hopes" to grow 3 countries econs. Americas true goal is now uncovered as the Corps. have been the only ones benefiting. After NAFTA, Corps moved to Mexico metropolis'. They didnt regulate pollution, were very unsanitary, & wages fell, creating illegal migration. American greed created the problem of immigration & we R the ones to blame 4 their illegal doings

  • you sir are correct.

  • I give you a thumbs up because you are the winner of the "racist dumb fuck hill billy" award. Hispanics are taking over, whether you like it or not. Q viva PR
