Chomsky is a great American, and he speaks the Truth. What we have in this country is welfare for the rich and a combination of laisser-faire and laissez-aller for the poor. It's a rigged game and most of us will lose in the end. The elites who run this country will always be the winning team. Noam: HELP! It is 2011 and getting worse.
Yeah, right... he says 'oh, they elected someone from their own ranks' as if that means anything, I could care less where people come from, I care about they think and what they do. Most of South America is nothing more than communist dictatorships, who may have risen to power with popular support, but don't remain in power through it. Chomsky is just an anti-westerner.
@MrDarkbloom I am NOT getting into this type of argument. He's a communist, an anti-american, and an anti-westerner, I know it, you know it, anyone who listens to him for 2 minutes can figure it out, and I'm not gonna waste time pointing the obvious.
@TheGoldenKing20 You sound like an ideal victim of anti-democratic indoctrination. If only you understood the most elementary ideas of Chomsky... Take a LONG hard look in the mirror and you may see see what a gullible self-destructive fool you are.
@MrDarkbloom And you sound like a victim of indocrination by Marxist agents posing as college professors, I'm not going to debate you as it would be fruitless, but I'll say this: either get yourself straightened out or stay out of the Free World's way, or you'll be hurt.

@phakim33 Well, I think, most people, when they hear Chomsky for the first time, get fascinated when they hear him speak things that are radically different to everyone else. Then when they start reading his books, articles, etc., they realise just how he arrived at such assertions. As they get immersed in his work, they realise that the guy is a genius; the way he reads and compiles information from different sources is truly incredible. Well, that's why I am fascinated by him, at least.
One can only dream to have gained this much knowledge in a lifetime as Noam Chomsky has. Sadly life is too short but the upside is Chomsky had written many books that can prime the human mind for more drastic radical ideas to make this world a better place. Before Chomsky there were Descartes, Marx, Plato, Socrates, Tolstoy.
Now, Chomsky, do I turn to thee, and mark my greeting well; for what I speak my body shall make good upon this earth, or my divine soul answer it in heaven. Thou art a traitor and a miscreant, too good to be so and too bad to live, since the more fair and crystal is the sky, the uglier seem the clouds that in it fly. Once more, the more to aggravate the note, with a foul traitor's name stuff I thy throat; and wish, ere I move, what my tongue speaks my right drawn sword may prove.
@GeneralJakass You don't have to lie to be dishonest. You can simply not mention certain bits of info that goes counter to your beleifs. Dishonesty is subjective, an opinion, since there is no way i can prove that he is cognizant of such information, at least, without intensive research on that one guy; which i see as a wasteful use of my time.
@ExquisiteDoom And what bits are those? If you care enough to make some blatant statement that doesn't have any support just because Chomsky says something you don't like (no matter how truthful), you should care enough to back up what you said. It would be extremely useful of your time to research some of the topics he talks about because they are very real indeed. If he is lying and being dishonest, then that information (upon research) should become apparent.
@GeneralJakass Isn't Chomsky an anarcho-socialist that advocates more government like it's not a contradiction? It's been too long for me to remember where i got my opinions of him from. I tend to trust my past judgement though. I think you replied to a message that was just way too long ago for me to remember why i made it. lol
@ExquisiteDoom lol once again you're facts are right on as usual. You ought to do yourself a favor and put just a little time into research before voicing such an uneducated opinion. "I don't remember where I got my opinions from." Ignorance will always breed ignorance my friend :)
@GeneralJakass Like i said i don't care enough to, i'm even wondering why i'm still responding. What do i gain out of this? Some self knowledge i guess? lol. Chomsky is a very low priority list since i understood the basics of social anarchism. It is still an educated opinion if his social anarchistic thoughts revolve around the ones of i don't know, kropotkin , bakunin and all those funky people's ideologies i just don't care for. Blah.
@ExquisiteDoom And how does this make Chomsky a "disinformant" (you realize that's not even a word)? If anything you're being the "disinformant" by putting up on Facebook fallacious and uneducated remarks about social-anarchism.
@GeneralJakass Well i didn't care for language back then obviously, lol. Lots of shit happens in a year. I pretty much just take it on faith that what i do know about social anarchism, Chomsky must be advocating things i am against; and those tend to sit on erroneous grounds either ignoring economics, or overrides any theory , science, or axiom with the use of objective morality. e.g. Working is exploitation.
I've seen some people critiquing some fallacies he uses here on youtube, too.
@ExquisiteDoom So the argument goes that "I have faith in what I say, even though there isn't any fact behind it." And what are those things you are against? Workers rights? Freedom for the masses? If this guy was the "disinformant" (lol) you say he is, then his career would have been completely ruined long ago.
@GeneralJakass Well , no tons of theorists out there are wrong even at the very surface yet they aren't ruined. Name any top institutional liberal intellectual and there you have it. For example Nancy Pellosi, lol.
I don't dispute the idea of freedom and workers rights, i only dispute the means to go at it. How do we gain those rights without giving them "too much" power? Which, would resort in economic parasitism.
why are you wasting your time talking to a guy who names himself in contridictions, apparently he's a fool and proud of it! you can expect him to be confused trying to make a point with fragments of information, he simply ignores the overwhelming evidence of Chomsky views who is likely 3x as old as this monkey where experience is wisdom, a strong position since the beginning, accurate if not yet proven all views, intelligent mind, no serious intellectual opponents all the while humble in person.
Noam Chomsky is a testament to the effectiveness of government censorship. He is one of the most important intellectuals of the age and I just heard about him last year. His thoughts and idea's should be taught in schools.
Listen to the lies of notorious left-wing political pervert Noam Chomsky who praised Pol Pot's leadership and fawned over every Communist/Marxist dictator since Stalin
One thought I have about democracy or voting is it, in a sense, is a form of the voter passing responsibility for the country's actions on to a party or person. Washing their hands of any association with what happens thereafter.
"I did my part and voted, the rest is up to the government and its not my fault what happens."
@slartibartfast68 Interesting point. In an ideal democracy perhaps that wouldn't be true, but maybe it is true to some extent at the moment. But, the problem is that not enough different views are represented in elections, so that there is'nt that much choice. On many issues you cant say "I vote for this policy, now ill wait 5 years and see what happens" because that option just isn't there.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the USA are a great country. not perfect of curse. it can improve, and it will. Obama is better than his previous "colleagues"...things take time to change..
There's a difference between taking time to change and saying one thing, then doing the complete opposite. People still hold on to the image that barack gave himself during the campaign but when closely observed and followed we find that it was just an image.
the USA are a great coutry, of course they did many bad things. Obama represents a big change: Bush was a nightmare!!! This is a big improvement...we shouldn't miss this occasion..think of what might happen in the future with a new Bush administration..I can't even think of that.
I am socialist and think that Europe has a better system, but the USA aren't just a crazy place where people shoot at each other: more respect is needed for Obama.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I disagree with you: Bush was good, and Obama represents a nightmare! In any case, I despise people like Noam Chomsky who bite the hand that feeds: if he hates the US so much, he should simply go away!
Bush good? anyway, probably Noam Chomsky could leave and thought of that in the past, but since the USA aren't that bad if you have some money, why should he leave? There is freedom in the USA, that's good. Plus I think that, due to his job, probabily he travels a lot and spends lot of time abroad.
Yes, Bush was good, and since many people voted for him you shouldn't be surprised to find some Bush supporters if you come from the USA instead of North Korea... yes, of course Chomsky does travel a lot: something they would not permit him to do in countries like North Korea or Iran he likes so much!
He "likes" Europe, he doesn't like neither North Korea nor Iran...he's a democratic person, and pretty advanced too...no one is perfect though, so he might be wrong sometimes.
In what way is he "wrong very often"? Thats not saying anything of substance is it? Im open to hear how he is wrong often. Have you ever even read anything my him? Michele 640 confuses what he is saying to those that are anti-american. More than anything, he states facts that he references. Why is it dissent to mention what is plainly wrong? Sorry Michele, you are under informed and your posts are not factual. Mention facts like Chomsky does instead of 5th grade put downs.
He says the United States is an absurd country that should not exist, so he couldn't be wronger! If you don't understand such basic things, go to hell!
ignoring the distinction between "hate" and "critic of", by that logic the United States would remain a society with legally instituted racism: the civil rights movement would have never happened because, being critical of US policies, those who thought racism was wrong would have left rather than challenged it. Just one example. etc etc
I think your example has neither rhyme nor reason. As for "legally instituted racism", are you sure you don't need help? What is then doing Obama at the White House?
Then you lack basic history: I was referring to the civil rights movement and racist law in the United States going back to the constitution in which blacks were 3/5 of people. The example is appt: if, as you say, critics of state policy simply left, instead of opposing state racism, then US race laws would continue to exist.
Actually racism still exists, but referring to the Civil Rights movement actually people like Chomsky played a large role. Lots of Jewish intellectuals from northern states supported the southern blacks including Howard Zinn who taught at a black college took part in protests. And Dr. King himself was very leftwing btw.
I'm not saying racism completely disappeared, but it is no longer so widespread nowadays, anyway it's not certainly one-sided: I daresay racism from blacks to whites is more frequent than the opposite.
@Michele640 I've lived in a few majority black cities and worked at jobs where I was one of only a couple or so 'white boys' growing up. I don't think it's possible to be "pc" and working class. lol. I mean, your right, there is a lot of hate all around. I'd say your right. Institutional racism is another thing tho.
Your lack of understanding of history is embarrassing. The 3/5 Compromise was instituted to HELP blacks get a vote - there was no way they would have gotten a full vote at that time, and enlightened people were trying to get them at least a little bit of a voice. This is documented and widely understood. Drop the victimhood stuff and read a book sometime.
entirely irrelevant -- the issue at hand is racism in the united states and American history, which your comment verifies; the point at hand is institutionalized racism, among other repressive practices, has been reveresed largely due to popular movements which engaged in criticism of the united states. Unless you hold criticism of the 3/5 rule was not constructive then your comment is moot and its tone misguided
Yes - my example of whites trying to help blacks have a voice clearly proves what a racist country this is. Criticism of the 3/5 compromise was misguided because the poster did not understand it. What is wrong with you? God you're arrogant and lack credibility.
ok -- now you're just confused. You see, the 3/5 compromised wasn't white's helping blacks get the vote, correcting some preexisting racial repression, it was whites preventing black's from counting as full people. It was whites who made the law. Yes, that is an instance of institutionalized racism - if pointing out that fact is "arrogant" and "lack[s] credibility" then we simply don't live on the same planet.
If you don't understand the idea of the whites needing to make incremental change (as was done in the civil rights movement) then I can't help you. Without the 3/5 Compromise, blacks would never have had the right to vote. This is not complicated, but you seem to need to hold on to the feeling of victimhood. I suppose that Brown vs board of ed. was racist, since it only addressed a specific district instead of eliminating all segregation everywhere? Get real and think.
1). the 3/5 did not give black voting rights, it made blacks count for 3/5ths of humans in distributing representation in the house of representatives (all white congressmen) -- the concern was congressmen, not blacks; 2) that's not incremental change, it was in the original constitution, there was nothing to change from; 3) again, the original point: is popular criticizing racism legitimate/progressive and was the 3/5 rule racist? yes or no? one word answer, everything else is blowing smoke.
@mrcarlos15 Yes, Chomsky speaks the truth because he is allowed to speak the truth, he most probably has a contract with the USA Goverment to be honest and is seen to be their enemy. Clever Goverment!!!!!! Behind the Gov. is the drugs companies, as we all know they run the world. How many Books has this man sold???? He even says himself of the media they are controled and so is he.
what chomsky states can be observed by anyone who is conscious and spends some time reading in the non-mainstream media.
the problem is that most people are to lazy to check the facts so it sounds like mongolian to most of them; but if you want to hear so called secrets aka unproven conspiracy theories with no link to reality chomsky definitly isn't the one to listen to. i could very well imagine that people like alex jones get paid to spred their nonsense
@sectioncp5518 Well it is america, and this is capitalism, so if your going to complain about a journalist getting paid this isnt the country to do it in. But then again for what you say about Alex Jones, the same could be said for ANY reporter, its just going to depend on your acceptance of what they say... that which you call non-sense.
indeed the truth and fact tellers are usually denied by the washed minds thus disrespecting them with comments. may God bless you sir Noam even if you are derogated by your own fellow americans.
hahahaha like Noam Chomsky believes in god.... he's smart enough to explain the modern American corporate control democracy but not aware enough to renounce religion?
@tnix80 Polls show what people believe and what their opinions are, not what the facts are. The sun wouldn't rise in the west because 80% of people said so.

911 inside job, chomsky seriously deluded, chomsky intoxicated by his own voice/ power. 911 truth now! its what the people want mr chomsky (mr elitist). History will prove u wrong mr chomsky.
30% of medicine in American goes to HMOs, so even the Democrats Bauckus bill is nothing but an HMO stimulus package. As long as their are HMOs we are pissing away a few hundred billion on an industry whos job is to deny payment for medicine.
Prove it! Oh that's right you can't, you are just a mouth piece and a tool. you're opinions or lies are unfounded, if you actually pay attention to the world our history and everything that exists not just the manipulators, anyone can see you are dead wrong...
i can demonstrate that hes wrong but all anyone has to do to figure it out themselves is learn economics. thats what i did and now i dont agree with him anymore.... its just that simple.
i dont think the point was that cuban communism is better than american democracy. i think the point was that american democracy is imperfect and can be made better.
democracy does better when less people vote. and people who vote are more educated and are knowledgeable about issues. in 2008 people voted for Obama because he was black.
u cant call chomsky an idiot, he only ever argues with facts. if u actually listened to him or read ne of his books ull see why america has no democracy. and why wud u leave sumwhere if u want to improve it?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Chomsky does not stick to facts, if you listen you'll see that he injects bias words or value judgements left and right. He also plays straw man and red herring game left and right. Who thinks America is a democracy? It is a republic and was conceived as such. And how can it be established that a pure democracy could work at all? Also, please note that the rich spend lavishly and their "savings" are loaned to entrepreneurs, many of whom become successful. The rich don't "soak up" the money.
You either have not listened, don't know history, do no research or only listen to the people/sources that Chomsky is warning us about... you are a fool!
I have listened, I do know history and I do research and I listen to everybody. What you don't understand is value judgement, which follows on the heels of one's biases, motives and agenda. Has it occured to you that we can have the same fact set, and different value judgements of them? Why should we think alike if perhaps we are so different, if perhaps our rank is so different? Chomsky has emotional issues,and that forms his perspectives. Go ahead and try to make a Utopia - it's impossible.
further reply: The vast majority of Americans or people anywhere are not capable of being the kind of good citizen that Chomsky imagines. People are not that good - never have been, never will be. Chomsky and perhaps you also are slave-moralists. The slave demonizes his masters, but if the truth were known, and the tables reversed, the slave would be just as horrible as he claims his master is. This kind of moralizing can be seen in every culture at all times. Yet life progresses anyway.
i have been saying this since 2005 that i predict by 2012-13 this country will collapse. We need a revolution!! and there will be one becuase even the most ignorant people will have enough of this corrupted government that has been robbing us of out freedom, and prosperity. WE The People need a revolution and bring this country back where it belongs far too long they have been robbing us, it has reached the maximum of corruption. Time to fight back!!!
We think this is the America of our grandfathers. It isn't. This country is run by people of great power & wealth at the expense of the common people. Didn't the Marquis die in prison? He was jailed for his sex perversions. He also had unwelcome political views. Voltaire said, 'It's dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.' The people of power & wealth are educated people as well. Of course they want to silence people like Mr. Chomsky.
the founding fathers meant to be like this who you think Madison's " minority of the opulent " is ?? the founding fathers themselves said the wealthy will lead the country check their own quotes the system itself is designed to be like this
Sophist: One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation. A scholar or thinker. Americans emphasize education and we want our children to learn to think idependently, creatively. Mr. Chomsky's opinions are based on a life time of paying attention, weighing and measuring information, and expressing the truths of our history in world context. For years our political system has been giving us a choice between one devil and another as it becomes wealthier and greedier.
There is good reason why here in France the infamous Marquis De Sade has always been in prison: In the legitimate old Monarchy as well as in the revolutionary Republic and even under the tyrannical usurpation of the Italian warlord Naopleone Buonaparte! I wonder why this dangerous sophist, paid by the Chinese and Saudi-Arabia, is at liberty in the USA. Obviously he contrived to take all democratic office from the US and to wind himself into a power tyrannical!
@udi0Point: Sure, but still Terry Gilliam made a most excellent movie out of his fake drug stories! And few people know this and thus the quote usually works...
Indosmith that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. The American Government has only ever regulated the American health system lightly. So your healthcare systems failure and discrimination of the poor in favour of profit is due to the market. Go watch Michael Moores Sicko.

@ExquisiteDoom And how does this make Chomsky a "disinformant" (you realize that's not even a word)? If anything you're being the "disinformant" by putting up on Facebook fallacious and uneducated remarks about social-anarchism.
GeneralJakass 1 year ago
@GeneralJakass Well i didn't care for language back then obviously, lol. Lots of shit happens in a year. I pretty much just take it on faith that what i do know about social anarchism, Chomsky must be advocating things i am against; and those tend to sit on erroneous grounds either ignoring economics, or overrides any theory , science, or axiom with the use of objective morality. e.g. Working is exploitation.
I've seen some people critiquing some fallacies he uses here on youtube, too.
ExquisiteDoom 1 year ago
@ExquisiteDoom So the argument goes that "I have faith in what I say, even though there isn't any fact behind it." And what are those things you are against? Workers rights? Freedom for the masses? If this guy was the "disinformant" (lol) you say he is, then his career would have been completely ruined long ago.
GeneralJakass 1 year ago
@GeneralJakass Well , no tons of theorists out there are wrong even at the very surface yet they aren't ruined. Name any top institutional liberal intellectual and there you have it. For example Nancy Pellosi, lol.
I don't dispute the idea of freedom and workers rights, i only dispute the means to go at it. How do we gain those rights without giving them "too much" power? Which, would resort in economic parasitism.
ExquisiteDoom 1 year ago
why are you wasting your time talking to a guy who names himself in contridictions, apparently he's a fool and proud of it! you can expect him to be confused trying to make a point with fragments of information, he simply ignores the overwhelming evidence of Chomsky views who is likely 3x as old as this monkey where experience is wisdom, a strong position since the beginning, accurate if not yet proven all views, intelligent mind, no serious intellectual opponents all the while humble in person.

One thought I have about democracy or voting is it, in a sense, is a form of the voter passing responsibility for the country's actions on to a party or person. Washing their hands of any association with what happens thereafter.
"I did my part and voted, the rest is up to the government and its not my fault what happens."
slartibartfast68 1 year ago
@slartibartfast68 Interesting point. In an ideal democracy perhaps that wouldn't be true, but maybe it is true to some extent at the moment. But, the problem is that not enough different views are represented in elections, so that there is'nt that much choice. On many issues you cant say "I vote for this policy, now ill wait 5 years and see what happens" because that option just isn't there.

Bush good? anyway, probably Noam Chomsky could leave and thought of that in the past, but since the USA aren't that bad if you have some money, why should he leave? There is freedom in the USA, that's good. Plus I think that, due to his job, probabily he travels a lot and spends lot of time abroad.

Yes, Bush was good, and since many people voted for him you shouldn't be surprised to find some Bush supporters if you come from the USA instead of North Korea... yes, of course Chomsky does travel a lot: something they would not permit him to do in countries like North Korea or Iran he likes so much!

ignoring the distinction between "hate" and "critic of", by that logic the United States would remain a society with legally instituted racism: the civil rights movement would have never happened because, being critical of US policies, those who thought racism was wrong would have left rather than challenged it. Just one example. etc etc

I think your example has neither rhyme nor reason. As for "legally instituted racism", are you sure you don't need help? What is then doing Obama at the White House?
Michele640 2 years ago
Then you lack basic history: I was referring to the civil rights movement and racist law in the United States going back to the constitution in which blacks were 3/5 of people. The example is appt: if, as you say, critics of state policy simply left, instead of opposing state racism, then US race laws would continue to exist.

Actually racism still exists, but referring to the Civil Rights movement actually people like Chomsky played a large role.

Your lack of understanding of history is embarrassing. The 3/5 Compromise was instituted to HELP blacks get a vote - there was no way they would have gotten a full vote at that time, and enlightened people were trying to get them at least a little bit of a voice. This is documented and widely understood. Drop the victimhood stuff and read a book sometime.
Alfrunk 1 year ago
entirely irrelevant -- the issue at hand is racism in the united states and American history, which your comment verifies; the point at hand is institutionalized racism, among other repressive practices, has been reveresed largely due to popular movements which engaged in criticism of the united states. Unless you hold criticism of the 3/5 rule was not constructive then your comment is moot and its tone misguided
nakedpower 1 year ago
Yes - my example of whites trying to help blacks have a voice clearly proves what a racist country this is. Criticism of the 3/5 compromise was misguided because the poster did not understand it. What is wrong with you? God you're arrogant and lack credibility.
Alfrunk 1 year ago
ok -- now you're just confused. You see, the 3/5 compromised wasn't white's helping blacks get the vote, correcting some preexisting racial repression, it was whites preventing black's from counting as full people. It was whites who made the law. Yes, that is an instance of institutionalized racism - if pointing out that fact is "arrogant" and "lack[s] credibility" then we simply don't live on the same planet.
nakedpower 1 year ago
If you don't understand the idea of the whites needing to make incremental change (as was done in the civil rights movement) then I can't help you. Without the 3/5 Compromise, blacks would never have had the right to vote. This is not complicated, but you seem to need to hold on to the feeling of victimhood. I suppose that Brown vs board of ed. was racist, since it only addressed a specific district instead of eliminating all segregation everywhere? Get real and think.
Alfrunk 1 year ago
1). the 3/5 did not give black voting rights, it made blacks count for 3/5ths of humans in distributing representation in the house of representatives (all white congressmen) -- the concern was congressmen, not blacks; 2) that's not incremental change, it was in the original constitution, there was nothing to change from; 3) again, the original point: is popular criticizing racism legitimate/progressive and was the 3/5 rule racist? yes or no? one word answer, everything else is blowing smoke.

I guess it depends on what basis we are using to gauge what constitutes a better or worse democracy.
My personal opinion, since I've lived in a few countries, is that that America's democracy is probably one of the better ones.
My point is a small one: A good democracy or even the best democracy doesn't necessarily mean its a perfect democracy.
A perfect democracy would mean that each one of the $300 million Americans cast a vote on every little bill that passes that Senate Floor....

Chomsky does not stick to facts, if you listen you'll see that he injects bias words or value judgements left and right. He also plays straw man and red herring game left and right. Who thinks America is a democracy? It is a republic and was conceived as such. And how can it be established that a pure democracy could work at all? Also, please note that the rich spend lavishly and their "savings" are loaned to entrepreneurs, many of whom become successful. The rich don't "soak up" the money.

I have listened, I do know history and I do research and I listen to everybody. What you don't understand is value judgement, which follows on the heels of one's biases, motives and agenda. Has it occured to you that we can have the same fact set, and different value judgements of them? Why should we think alike if perhaps we are so different, if perhaps our rank is so different? Chomsky has emotional issues,and that forms his perspectives. Go ahead and try to make a Utopia - it's impossible.

further reply: The vast majority of Americans or people anywhere are not capable of being the kind of good citizen that Chomsky imagines. People are not that good - never have been, never will be. Chomsky and perhaps you also are slave-moralists. The slave demonizes his masters, but if the truth were known, and the tables reversed, the slave would be just as horrible as he claims his master is. This kind of moralizing can be seen in every culture at all times. Yet life progresses anyway.
