[Scooternz]

WAKE UP National Voters...

Chomsky one of the best political scientists in the world... next to Max Keiser

National Voter need to listen to these guys!

methinks, the problem is propaganda-driven monetary-ism and is (more or less) the same globally, nowadays; with local differences nearly negligible compared to the global Gleichschaltung brought upon the world by capital-fasc-ism.

(or, as Chomsky often points out: there's hardly any difference between 'republicans' and 'democrats' (any more) - as they are merely fractions of the one 'business-party' )

chomskys views have nothing to do with nz. The united states yes. There is a big, huge monsterous comparisn in difference the way elections are televised/advertised. Nz is probably the most western country to be free from any any global agenda.

airelomeiel: What you say was true - more or less - under Labour. Under National, it isn't as true at it used to be. This new government toes the US line in every respect. The faux-free-market, impoverish-the-middle-class policies are identical. Chomsky's point was right-wing aligned media manipulation of the public using emotive wedge issues. In NZ, "Nanny state", "Tax cuts", "Anti-smacking"....and demonising Helen Clark. Very much out of the US Right play book. Very apt.
