Chavez is not a socialist, or a communist. He is a populist, state capitalist quasi dictator. He is paternalistic, fake, and exchanges favors to the poor for their political support. He is the only president of Venezuela who has tried doing something for the poor, who has payed some attention to them, but in similar ways and for the same reasons the US government would and has done that. He has merely exchanged a group of oligarchs for another-and only those who openly disagree with him anywway.
@21boxhead I have seen them. And I have seen how he has replaced the old elite for the new. Chavez is no communist. He is a state capitalist. I want a real state-less and class-less society like Chomsky does. The poor don't need Chavez to do them "favors", they dont need a father. They are perfectly capable of expropriating the wealth and handling it on their own. It's people not animals or machines
@xplastilinaverdex Chavez is transforming into that, its not you can make peaceful revolution have changes in one year Chavez inherited a broke government but you can make changes in short amount of time only by a violent revolution. Chavez takes it step by step you got to be patient he already got most of it setup towards that goal
@xplastilinaverdex "He is paternalistic, fake, and exchanges favors to the poor for their political support."
Please tell me you're joking, you rather he exchange favors for the rich minority, like the US government does?
For once, somebody does something for his people so he's fake and peddling for votes? Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? That's a REAL democracy, y'know what the US is meant to be for.
Delete your comment, Fox News viewer, or face further mocking.
@Lukege15 Fox news viewer? Why would I defend communism if I was a Fox news viewer? that makes no sense. I lived in Venezuela till very recently, and as I said, Chavez is a STATE CAPITALIS, who merely replaced the old elite for a new elite (or if they kissed his ass, kept the old elite and gave them a raise). The poor of Venezuela don't need Chavez to do things for them in exchange for their slavery. They can expropriate the wealth and rule themselves. I want anarchy like Chomsky does.
@xplastilinaverdex I agree with you about the US's fake democracy (something I NEVER denied, funnily enough) but, unfortunately, you're dead wrong about everything else:
- I'm sorry, but when someone represents the majority of of their citizens - that's a democracy. The poor are the majority, Chavez represents them.
- The poor are not the 'ELITE'.
- The US do not help the poor.
- Slavery? You're insane.
- Chomsky is definitely NOT a anarchist, he's a socialist libertarian.
@Lukege15 -I actually lived in Venezuela most of my life. Chavez keeps the poor poor, just in slightly better conditions. He raises a new elite with obscenely expensive cars and houses, while most of the country stays poor.
-The US have adopted "socialist"" programs in the past in order to keep the poor silenced. Just not as much as other countries. It's called populism
-capitalism=slavery. venezuela is state and free market capitalist
@Lukege15 Also, sorry to break it to you, but the US was never made by the people and for the people, it is not and it isn't a democracy. The US shouldn't even exist just like Venezuela or any state. And as I said, Chavez only helps the poor in the same ways in which the US government has, they have only done it to keep them calm and complacent so their government doesn't get overthrown. They take everything from the poor and then give them back the crumbs so they stay happy.
President Hugo Chavez, a ridiculous communist revolutionary of little education or intellect. Incredible that Venezuelans elected this idiot. They deserve the consequences. And Chomsky? He can do civilization a big favor by disappearing, permanently
@gangster3591 no, you do civilization a favor and educate yourself asshole. Do not be a US media brainwash you like it has done to most americans. Think outside the box.
@revolaid .."do civilization a favor and educate yourself asshole. Do not be a US media brainwash you like it has done to most americans. Think outside the box"
You're an intellectual mediocrity son, probably with no more than a high school education. That is clear enough from your comments
Real GDP has nearly doubled since Chavez came to power, the extreme poverty rate has fallen by 72% since Chavez came to power, the income poverty rate has dropped from 56% to 26%(from 2003 to 2008), real income grew by 137% from 2003 to 2006. And there's still the increase in access to medical care and education. Oh and unemployment has dropped by 10% since the Chavez government came to power.
Can this be called success? if it can't, then, I don't know what constitutes as 'success'.
put it on a playlist so t stays in order,,it is very interesting, and i do believe that all of us have fallen prey to international conspiracy propagandas,,,really !...from all fronts,,,even if the most seemingly ignorant of dictator is able to spill some truth about NATO and how many of us Christians first believed that being concervative was the way to go,when in fact and in nature we are all humanitarians,,but do be careful what you ask for,,,they might give it to you!!!
I discovered Noam Chomsky was a CIA puppet when he said 9/11 couldnt be an inside job ae911truthDOTorg, you gota watch out for these sophisticated puppets
@dxvxvx Puppet for CIA? This guy has been speaking out against the concentrated power of elites and brutal CIA campaigns for a long time now. I'm have my doubts about who was actually behind 9/11. Maybe Chomsky was wrong, but I really don't think he's working for the CIA.
chavez saying venezuela has the biggest oil reserves on the planet he dosent get it that one day once the world starts ending oil reserves nd oil is too expensive to use nobody will want it or pay high prices for it, and the countrys who didnt invest in tech an education infra st and used all their oil are fucked, oil is all they have, russia brazil saudis iran, if they dont use their money right they are fucked
What about Gaddafi Noam? He's Hugo's best buddy. They're in love with this so-called direct democracy. Chavez even gave the old fuck one of the most important swords of Venezuela.
@graemeEf1 .."What about Gaddafi Noam? He's Hugo's best buddy. They're in love with this so-called direct democracy. Chavez even gave the old fuck one of the most important swords of Venezuela"lol
With Gaddafi gone, little Hugo will presumably be looking for another despotic soul mate. North Korean butt boy, Kim Jong Un, might be a fine choice. And Prof Chomsky? He should move to Venezuela to work for Chavez as a policy adviser. Americans can do nicely without that old fool
@RomanianCynical In Venezuela majority of people are getting poorer and the sitation is getting owrse every day, we never had problems with elecricity, fueling the cars, finding food in stores and medicines in pharmacies; now when you are ill you ahve tospent hours around trying to find the medicines, in my state Tachira the lines in petrol statios are for hours trying to fuel your car and the best telephone call you receive is by a frind who tells you that there is toillet paper in the shop
@ulaiclbs This is facistlies finace by Wasington CIA!!! Comrades : know that the Bolivarina republic is every time better, is oficial. Oligarch medios of press and television lies. In the Bolivarian republic is everything : food health doctor, medicine farmacy, everything for the Proletariat, not like in facist iV Republic. YES we make our Great Leap Forward, oligarchs dont like so is spreading facist lies!!!
you gentiles are Pathetic Always take some jew and make him god or Messiah just like the jesus and kerl marx and know this noam chomsky did you ever wondering why is this all your biggst gods and messiah and your intellectuals from right and left are jewish and you wonder how we the jews call are self the chosen people dont diss this
comment in 100 yreas from know your kids will things that holly histroy just like your Fathers Though't demn even the arebs belive in a jewish idea of god
Live Comander Chavez!!! Live the Bolivarian marxist revolusion!!! The Comander give us dignity!! With a Fist of Iron he crush facist oligarchs finance by Wasington CIA!!! Out yanqui imperialists go home!! The People is in Power now!!! Live the ductatorship of the Proletariat!! Fatherland socialism or DEATH!!!
@hugocaracas2021 I DO hope that additional to dignity the comander somehow starts managing better the huge resources of the country so with our taxes and the money from oil, the poor may have sometime better housing, electricity, also hope we go back at least to the crime rates we had in 1998 (now 5 times higher and worse in the poor areas), also hope that we may return to the land productivity of a decade ago since nowadays we import very basic goods from Nicaragua such as black beans!
@ulaiclbs what you say of crime is mediatic manipulation lies said by facist imperialist medios to desestablize our country. Yes because of the especulation by supermerkets and capitalist, and litufundists what do not grow food our friend countrys support us with food. Soon we do our Great Leap Forward!!! Viva Nicaragua sin Somosa!! Viva el Comandante!! Patria maoismo bolivariano o MUERTE!!
@hugocaracas2021 viva Nigaragua without somoza but also without bloody ortega. Viva Venezuela with a continuous improvement of quality of life for everybody and low crime as a product of possitive public policies, minumum corruption, fair and healthy private enterprise, productive workers. Venezuela has been increasing the import of food since chavez took office that cannot be denied by chavistas. Those who stay power based on promoting hate among citizens will never succed. DEMOCRACY and LIFE
Free Healthcare, free education, free housing, government loans. Hugo Chavez has more popular support than any other US President has ever had. Don't give me no bullshit.
Hugo Chavez, Lula Da Silva, Morales are all men with great moral judgement which is why they are popular, they ACTUALLY HELP their people...
... unlike you RIGHT WING sick freaks what talk JESUS yet do nothing that he preached.
@QaranTV With the destruction of most private entreprise I just wonder who is going to pay taxes so the state can have enough resources to give all these free, free, free everything!!!! Lula was definitely a great president, left offcie with 85% popularity and a booming country where more than 20 million people moved from poverty to middle class and ther purchasing power grew dramatically , the investment in the Brazilian oil sector has been huge and Petrobras is #1 in Latinoamerica. Viva Lula
@ulaiclbs thank you for your solidarity comments freind comrade. Yes Venezuela is every time better - no crime productive workers and all exept squalids happy. Only hate is from facist oligarchs. To remember Comrade: our revolusion is pacific but armed!! Live the Comander!!!
@hugocaracas2021 Sure, shortly we are going to eat arms!!! Bochinche, bochinche, bochince, the only thing they like is bochinche,a s Miranda used to say two centuries ago
@ulaiclbs jajaja Comrade, yes en Venezuela there is much bochinche, jajajaja!! Not like in facist capitalist USA right? As Miranda so says the Comander!! Bochinche is our Venezuela way the way of the Bolivarian!! This is why our People is always happy and our Revolusion pacific. Viva Nicaragua!!! Viva Fidel!! Viva Jose Stalin!! Viva el Comandante Chavez!!!
Hugo Chavez has cancer and the opposition is getting stronger. Watch as everything comes crashing down in Venezuela, it's going to be fucking hilarious.
@AmericanBadass44 You don't even realise that you and your countrymen have a vested interest in Chavez succeeding. How much longer do you think you can carry on as things are?
@AmericanBadass44 It could serve to demonstrate that social equality and welfare are desirable things and not some distorted nazi propaganda as your media seems to love endlessly repeating as if it is fact. The US government has no vested interest, but the people do.
@AmericanBadass44 I don't know the truth. I suspect that you don't either but it is important to be aware that we only really know what we have been told. It is irresponsible to claim otherwise. I say what I say because I lament for my American cousins when I view their media and news reporting. I cannot understand how they can think of themselves as free in any way, whatsoever.
What exactly has Chavez done for Venezuela besides make a lot of noise? 80% of Venezuela is living in poverty, crime has gone up 63% since he "took office." What's more, compared to the west, Venezuela is far behind on the Human Development Index, Press Freedom Index, Corruption Perception Index and others, which I believed doesn't give them any right to tell Western civilization shit.
¿Pero que estáis haciendo,hermanos?Ni Chavez ni EE.UU. ni Obama ni nadie... Esto es el juego que quieren los verdaderos controladores del mundo y del banco mundial y del fondo mundial: los illuminati, los judios y los nazis en colaboracion con los yankees, linajes de sangre pura, el vaticano y el anitcristo en el trono y por medio las casas reales de todos los paises que estan implicados. Informaros un poco mas, por favor, que el enemigo es muy grande pero tambien muy escondidos. MEDITAD!
Where did the money come from to build those companies?Exxon,Crystallex ,etc.developed those assets with shareholder money.The TRUTH is, Chavez is a THIEF.He stole billions of $ from pensioners.That is the fact that leftist state media omits.When did Chavez pay them for their work?People work a lifetime to save and invest to live on that money in their old age.Chavez STEALS the work of one man and gives it to another.How is that being a hero?My friends in Caracas don't deserve this tyrant,
Pensioners, if you mean the corporations ( multi-national u.s. based conglomerates ) that were raping a country ( Venezuela ) out of it's natural resources and actively plundering their employees pension funds ( think of the late 08' collapse and all the obvious corrupt business practices ) then you buddy, are way off base ( and have been caught bullshitting ).
multi nationals are made up of shareholders.Pension plans,individuals etc.Crystallex had an agreement with Chavez. NO gold had been mined yet. How is that rape.Crystallex invest 3.8 billion $.Chavez STOLE it.The 08 collapse had many causal agents.The boys at moodys, standard & poors etc gave AAA ratings to bad paper.Are THEY in jail? Why not? What prevents Eric Holder from prosecuting?Build a venn diagram and run the inverse, converse, contrapositive, etc.Reread my words.They are true.
@idesofmarchUNIAEA Shut up bastard damn Yankee. Who are you to say that Venezuela does not deserve as President Chavez. Fuck you damn Yankee. Get ready America will soon declare the war with Russia's support to kill your fucking rule.
@filosofandoo funny i am venezuelan and we belive Chavez is a dictator, now he takes the money of vz and he is a rich man , what happend with helping the people , Chavez what a ahipocrite, now he is rich too and Vz is in one of the worst slumps in her history and the crime rate is thru the roof , it is funny that he blames the USA when he is causing most of the problems in VZ
@fish1597 With that note of your expressions that you are blinded and bound by the press away from your country. Why repeat what they say on CNN or FOX NEWS. You say that Venezuela is the country with the highest crime cup.
When it is not. Rather you should be ashamed of your country genocidal more prisons and criminals in the world. You're a damn Yankee liar. Fuck you motherfucker.
@filosofandoo So you live in the states and tell me what is happening in Venezula ? i am talkling about my whole family living there , do i believe in fox or cnn, i believe in my family and my own eyes. If you live in the US why dont you leave if it is such a bad place , why dont go back to peru with abimael and the senderistas (defated.) i will tel you why ,there is liberty of expressiona and a guy like you is too lazy to go to acountry were he will really needs to bust his ass,, usa is easy
@fish1597 Again you are wrong. First I do not live in your fucking country genocidal U.S.. Sponsor of terrorism to bomb the Libyan people. Secondly you know nothing of Abimael Guzman. Because you do not know Peru. Just repeat what you said your press lined up to people like you idiot. Abimael was a social activist, against savage capitalism that calls from your damn country. U.S.
@filosofandoo i am not a yamkee ask your mother the money i gave her were bolivars last night , boy does she knows how to satisfy a man..... On the other hand make sure she gets out of the streets . and yes ask her i am a mother fucker, but ont a yankee....LOL
@filosofandoo Venezuela has an extremely high crime rate five times the one a decade ago and Caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, this is a fact. Caracas became dangerous in the middle eighties but after chavez took office the crime increased dramatically
Jaja ¿Venezuela has the highest crime rate? Who told you? certain TV channels like FOX News garbage or CNN. If you're not living in Venezuela do not talk nonsense most dangerous country in the world is the U.S. as the most genocidal and cursed the people who bombed Libya.
@ulaiclbs A, otherwise. I recommend reading books by Noam Chomsky your compatriot. Having thus at least open the eyes of the besotted and blinded by these genocidal U.S. system. I also invite you to see two of my videos on my channel relating to Zionism and imperialism.
@fish1597 Con eso de tus expresiones se nota que usted esta cegado y atado por la prensa basura de tu país. Por eso repites lo que dicen en CNN o en FOX NEWS. Dices que Venezuela es al país con más alto taza de delincuencia. Cuando no es así. Más bien debes avergonzarte de tu país genocida con más cárceles y delincuentes del mundo. Eres un maldito yanqui mentiroso. Púdrete hijo de puta.
@filosofandoo no hables de genocidas cuando tenian a sendero lumonoso matando peruanos,no hables de genocidios por que tiens que incluir a russia , china corea del norte ect. Que facil es hablar cuando vives en los EU, Que clase de hpoicrita habla mal de donde vive pero disfruta y no se va del pais que cree que lo oprime. Me apusto que posiblemente estas estudiante y no trabajas o eres un perdedor que prefiere un systema que le diga que hacer y que decir ya que no tiene los cojones para trabajar
@fish1597 Otra vez te equivocas. En primer lugar yo no vivo en tu maldito país genocida yanqui. Que patrocina el terrorismo para bombardear al pueblo de libia. Segundo lugar tú no sabes nada de Abimael Guzmán. Porque tú no conoces Perú. Solo repites de lo que te dijeron tu prensa alineada que idiotiza gente como tú. Abimael fue un luchador social, contra el capitalismo salvaje que interpela desde tu maldito país. EE.UU.
@filosofandoo yo ayude a tus compatroitas a encerrar a abibael en idota que facil fue..... y me imagino que piensas que ghadafi es un buen dictador y que tambien tratan bien ala gente en syria y por cierto los israelitas son santos por favor no me hagas reir, manteve una casa en el chiclayo , ae que debes ser joven y no me aprovechare de tu entusiasmo ignorante.Abimael era un sicopata homicida que tuvo la suerte que no lo mataron Y hablas de los EU sin mencoinar a corea del norte russia china...
@filosofandoo Y que haces que no regresas al peru para que compartas la carcel con abimael , al o mejor necesita una novia como tu. Por favor eres un perdedor que lucha con ideas que estan contaminadas ideales comunistas que no son la solucion. Los hombres libres no necesitan ningun gobierno dicendoles que hacer y que pensar. Por que Fidel no deja los cubanos salir libremente al resto del mundo? porque si dejara no habria gente en Cuba.... Si eses es tu ideal piensa de nuevo ....
@fish1597 Bien. Justo ahora me hacer recordar de cuba. Cuba esta como esta es por culpa de tu maldito país. Típico de tu podrido país q bloquea a un país chico como cuba con sus once millones de habitantes. Si se creen tan machitos porque no se meten con china y Rusia dicho sea de paso esos países son comunistas y están mejor q tu maldito país. Yanquis de mierda sepan q Todo Sudamérica se unirá para apoyar a Rusia, china, correa del norte, Irán Vietnam, etc. Para aniquilar tu maldito país
@filosofandoo You need to find a place to live other than US maybe you will be feeling better if you move to a comunist country and maybe find a man that makes you happy ,,,,
@filosofandoo Fish is not Venezuelan, and is not located in Venezuela. As far as I know, I'm more Venezuelan than he/she is, at least I'm located in South America...
@suarezjaguar I do not know what you mean. Anyway you have to do with it that in Venezuela there is no fish. Did not you realize that the Yankees get all our raw materials. For a bargain. And after U.S. sell us their products garbage, high price.
@fish1597 Well. Right now you remind me of Cuba. if Cuba is like this is because of your damn country. Typical of your rotten country that blocks a small country like Cuba with eleven million inhabitants. If you believe so macho because they do not mess with China and Russia by the way these countries are communist and are better than your fucking country. Shit Yankees know that all America will join together to support Russia, China, North Belt, Iran, Vietnam, etc. To crush your fucking country
@filosofandoo my country is Venezula and i dont hink the US as bad as you think ... Why do you talk shit from where you live? China Russia and the others are smart enough not to fight the us , they all want to make money bottom line. Why they blocked that little country? lets see, Cuba wanted to help destroy the US , i will be pissed off too. Fidel runs a brutal government that has destroyed the cubans ,including my live in half cuban /palestinian wife. you sre soo Jelous of the US aint you, LOL
@filosofandoo me gusta cuando hablas de genocidas y solo mencionas a los EU, es tu conocimento es limitado?Por favor no me digas que vives ahjora en Peru porque alli llegan las noticias, no estas en una cueva? o es que te perdiste algunas de la guerras recientes porque comparten tu ideal comunista Los idiotas estan en todas partes y todos los ideales y tu llevas una bandera co una historia que va ha ser dificil culpar a EU sin verse en un espejo,chechnia ,tibet, darfur,yemen como las llamas paz?
Si te gusta tanto ese systema debes vivir en uno de esos sitios y dejar de hablar basura ya que no vives ahi y tienes miedo de hacerlo, eres un perdedor y quieres un gobierno que te mantenga por el resto de tus dias , ven a la selva y disfruta dormir bajo las estrellas cazando a los malos del mundo....
@ScrewedUpClickFan I think it is funny that you lefties attack Christians for being thought police who tell you how to live aqnd what to believe, when this pig you support does NOT allow criticism, only hires chronies (a trait you lefties criticize Bush for), has been in office for likw 13 years and now is trying to be elected for life...If he loved Bush you would hate him, can youguys just quit the BS and admit freely you HATE America and you HATE white men? This is why you support Chavez
@1975howardgoldman I love America ,ALL our people and capitalism, but the 'capitalism" practiced here now a days isnt real American Capitalism where everyone had an equal shot and there was a level playing field. Its been hijacked by the Oligarchs who Theodore Roosevelt (a true American heroe-except for Latin America) knew well aware of their danger. They are consolidating their wealth, sending jobs overseas to make more $ and attacking our great equalizer. education. We are turning into Lat Am
@MYacono you praising Teddy Roosevelt today is the equivelant of someone praising George W. Bush 100 years from now. read Chomsky and Zinn, not Ron Paul...
@EndWesternTyranny FYI TR busted many trusts and wasnt their bitch like today's politicians, especially Bush ,TR didnt attack unions and was for the average common man , not like Bush /Repubs/Wallst hedge fund managers who want to privatize government jobs like schools, prisons,firefighters etc. and unions stand in their way. Read history not ideology, even though I am a big Zinn and Chomsky fan,
@MYacono you clearly don't know anything about American history. you're the one who needs to "read history not ideology." the man you praise committed genocide across the globe. he was responsible for 100,000s of dead filipinos. you're hero is a tyrant
@EndWestern. Actually 1.5 million filipinos, Aguinaldo shouldve known not to trust the Americans. The U.S SHOULD"VE learned that you cant occupy a country against a determined local populace. Genocide?by giving Panama their independence from Colombia ?and took over the DR to save them from Italy?. TR acted in best interest of America and Americans not the robber barons. Put down the bong and look at both sides of the coin.
@1975howardgoldman I love America ,ALL our people and capitalism, but the 'capitalism" practiced here now a days isnt real American Capitalism where everyone had an equal shot and there was a level playing field. Its been hijacked by the Oligarchs who Theodore Roosevelt (a true American heroe-except for Latin America) knew well aware of their danger.

@idesofmarchUNIAEA This is not true and South American affairs belong to South America. Nobody here is asking for U.S. intervention in any way. so fuck off
@mixmastermeeks Nobody wants "foreign aid" from you, brainwashed. Go make a "humanitarian aid" to Libya, like blowing up their country with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
@suarezjaguar Nobody wants foreign aid from us? Then why do they take it. Why do they come to Washington D.C. and higher lobby groups to get them foreign aid packages? Calling me "brainwashed" doesn't dissolve the facts.
@suarezjaguar I can not believe the level of ignorance you have. How can you say that the U.S. does not intervene in South America. These evil. A thousand times blind. Also because you do not read books by Noam Chomsky. Or the American thinkers. As Eduardo Galeano, Hector Vargas has or Slovenian Slavoj Zizek, and so on. To make you realize the terrible truth.
@filosofandoo Venezuelan oil is now sold to China in a very disadvantaged negociation and given free to the Cuban, Nicaraguan, Bolivian regimes and even petrol to Irank. Infrastructure in Venezuela is collapsing, power shutts are daily, roads badly maintained everyhting is much worse than before, the regime is even more corrupt and totally inefficient. Crime rate extremely high. A total mess is my poor country; we are powerless they control everything: miliary, oil, banks, media, judicila system
@ulaiclbs When you say "they" you mean 80% of the population? Because he nationalized oil in Venezuela thanks to that the rich will not profit but the whole country will. Stop your propaganda.
@kotkee NO, when I say THEY I mean the small circle that sourrounds chavez who make the great negociations and are even MORE corrupt that the previous elite but dress in red in front of the poor; Venezuelan oil was nationalized in 1976,, after the destruction of PDVSA by Chavez the business is mainly done with obscure companies and some American, Europeans but with great desadvantage since the skilled Venezuelans were forced to move overseas; poors are waiting for 12 years for better housing
@suarezjaguar Obviously there q's press will not tell you because they work for imperialist hegemony. Lying to the people. Reported only to bind and tie the U.S. civilian population.
@suarezjaguar Are you Venezualan? Is Chavez "good" because here in America our media has me so confused. I can't even get any real information on the guy. I need some real info. Thanks.
how did noam chumsky--a linguist by training, became an amateur political scientist, is a puzzle only known to him and friends of Chavez, Castro, Ahmadinejad and Qaddafi
@hotboyclarence usually people who become politicians do not study politics, most of them come from different backgrounds, and linguistic is very important, it is abig part of what we are and we can be,for instance Carl sagan was an astrophysician but he knew more about life than most politicians,he couldve been a great president for the US for instance cos`he had a cosmic vision on things, I mean my point is it doesn`t what`s your background we`re all politicians,
@luigipatera so, what you are saying, to become a physician or a lawyer, one has to study medicine and law. for becoming a chemist or a botanist, one has to study chemistry and botany. but for becoming a political wonk, one doesnt really need any expertise, but just a big ego, a big mouth and good exposure. so, all other fields of knowledge are run by trained professionals, but the one the impacts us all, is run by self styled "politician" amateurs. gee no wonder we are in a mess that we are in!
@hotboyclarence that`s not what i`m saying at all and your analogy is totally wrong, you didn`t understand anything I said, thats why i told how linguistic is important. we`re all politicians human beings are political animals, and I do agree with aristotles only philosophers should be politicians cos`they understand life, my point is chomsky is a thinker and he kows about history, life and facts that show us how the US gov. is acting wrong and making wrong decisions.
@hotboyclarence "usually people who become politicians do not study politics, most of them come from different backgrounds" that`s just a fact I`m not saying studies in politics are useless but politicians come from different backgrounds .
@hotboyclarence because he's a scholar and a genius who challenges the dogma of the oppurtunist corrupt career politicians and the propaganda or "PR" organs of the financial elite. btw he is not "freinds" Qaddafi etc that is a typical hysterical smear by someone without intellectual credibility. why not challenge his words instead of trying to defame his character? simple- you are riding a dead horse
@fleamarket3000 scholar of linguistics not political science. he is an untrained (aka, amateur) political wonk. all the fancy words cannot change that fact, "financial elite" or no. a snake oil salesman can never become a physician no matter how eloquent he may get with his marketing pitches. only if Noam had a proper (and tedious) college education in political science (requiring excellence in economics, law, international relations, diplomatic history, etc.) instead of linguistics....
@hotboyclarence I would disagree. Noam Chomsky is absolutely informed. I would strongly suggest that you read one his books to get a better picture of Chomsky. BTW, part of linguistics is socio-linguistics which can only be understood with a profound understanding of politics and sociology.
And Chomsky is considered one of the greatest thinkers of our time. In his home country, the US, he is unfortunately little supported and less known, possibly because he is to critical for the masses?!?
I often wonder(to myself) "How much bullpoop,and how many more people will die before, we all in the sake of our planet, our species (along with other species) throw away the ball and chains that we have been trained to drag through life.(let's hear it for the State and it's Power systems(institutions) LOL, As Jim Morrison once said in a song "they got the guns, but,we got the numbers".
Why does the US try to remove from power every leader in Latin or Central America who puts his nations resources and people first? Why can't they accept that other nations can do things differently, and they don't have to be out-and-out capitalists? Look at the debt and financial mess of the US. The top 5% are mega-rich while the middle class is shrinking and the poor increasing. Wake up Americans. You have been conned out of your own nation's wealth by neo-con capitalist gangsters. Share it.
@rosemaya48 Or even as importantly, why is the US standing by idly when the Zimbabweans are suffering? Why are the likes of Sudan and Yemen overlooked when our armed forces have already been in Afghanistan for decades and NATO is about to pulicly remove Ghaddafi from Libya in order to insert their next fake puppet leader into the Middle East?
We now have a class called 'the working poor', we don't just have the unemployed being hated by those who can do without.
That US guy who said 'We should assasinate Chavez" needs a bullet himself. It should be a crime to make such a claim in public. The US has no right to do anything to Chavez. If the people of Venezuela don't want him, let them remove him. But the fact is most people in Venezuela are very poor, and Chavez is quite popular among the masses because he is the first leader to enact policies that give hope to the poor. In the past, ironically, Venezuelan leaders close to US screwed their own people.
America needs a president similar to Hugo Chavez, who, like President Reagan, just tells it like it is--in public and up front. The luggage companies and airlines are already gearing up for the liberals' buying frenzy. ;])
I wont read another Chomsky book after this. This man hates on the United States for their democratic situation and then glorifies a semi-authoritarian state like Venezuela and its dictator Hugo Chavez? What a disgrace. This man is clearly a dogmatic propagandaist. Venezuela is economically worst of in the region despite of their rich natural resources and the least democratic one. Chavez is above the rule of law in Venezuela and the opposition is imprisoned. Chomskys dishonesty disappoints me.
@snakeweirdo This is what I am talking about. How painfully dogmatic must a person be to refer to Venezuela as more democratic than the United States? I agree that democracy in United States is weak because of the locked situation with the two dominating parties but Venezuela is far far worse. Chomsky likes to refer to Human Rights Watch, Amnesty etc when it suits his opinions, but he completely ignores those organizations when they say that Venezuela is the least democratic state in America.
@snakeweirdo well i don't see a bunch of people from country's outside of venezuela march down the streets of venezuela waving there foreign flags demanding more rights from venezuela, do you?not that i'm against such things, but does that happen over there? It happens here.
The President Carlos Andres Perez was who nationalized the oil industry in our country, decades before!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chavez is a corrupt... in fact the Bush's oil corporation still is working in our country!!!! yessssssssssss Chavez have a great bussines with "Mr Danger"!!!!! don't you know that the 95% of students, professors, academics and intelectuals in Venezuela reject Chavez?
@hotchoccolate23 How he did, obviosly many years ago with intimidation, trap, populism??? Discretionary managing of the resources of the State, kidnapped power, politicians prisioners??? He have 12 years in the power, and he wants more, the eternety...
@ybisinfante I can sympathize because I actually follow the news in Venezuela. Strange how the only people on the internet who like Chavez are the ones not living in Venezuela.
@yuppyguitar1 The chavism is not more that 30% of the population. We produce only oil now! is the 95% of our exports! He has destruyed all our industries, and NOW we import around the 90% of all.The last year 17.000 persons were mordered, and NOW we are 2nd place in crime in the world! Do you know that him speech from 4 to 8 hours on in all radio and tv in the country, and there is nothing more to see and hear that him? Is this normal?
I wonder how Chavez defenders will explain Chavez' gerrymandering of the 2010 elections? Chavez receives of 48% of the vote but retains 59% of the seats. This makes it obvious he could give two shits what the people think. Then after losing the crucial 2/3 required to pass legislation, he circumvented the parliamentary process by passing a law to allow him to rule by decree for the next 18 months. I'd love to see how some hard someone has to bend reality to defend some o these practices.
Its retarded to compare the working conditions of 100 years ago to today. It makes more sense to compare the average standard of living before and after the industrial revolution, and the answer there is obvious.
Dr. Chomsky recently told Iranian TV that at the time the USA attacked Afghanistan they had no evidence that al Qaeda did 9/11. See my video "Chomsky on Faith-based Wars and 9/11"
Chavez my boy, you have much bigger problems then US faux-colonialism in search of "the spice". Emphasis purely on this raw resource is idiotic. The key to economic success is a sustainable, profitable, and multi-faceted manufacturing base. Oil is the means, not the ends.
I'm RACIST for criticizing Obama.

Chavez is not a socialist, or a communist. He is a populist, state capitalist quasi dictator. He is paternalistic, fake, and exchanges favors to the poor for their political support. He is the only president of Venezuela who has tried doing something for the poor, who has payed some attention to them, but in similar ways and for the same reasons the US government would and has done that. He has merely exchanged a group of oligarchs for another-and only those who openly disagree with him anywway.

@Lukege15 Fox news viewer? Why would I defend communism if I was a Fox news viewer? that makes no sense. I lived in Venezuela till very recently, and as I said, Chavez is a STATE CAPITALIS, who merely replaced the old elite for a new elite (or if they kissed his ass, kept the old elite and gave them a raise). The poor of Venezuela don't need Chavez to do things for them in exchange for their slavery. They can expropriate the wealth and rule themselves. I want anarchy like Chomsky does.

@xplastilinaverdex I agree with you about the US's fake democracy (something I NEVER denied, funnily enough) but, unfortunately, you're dead wrong about everything else:
- I'm sorry, but when someone represents the majority of of their citizens - that's a democracy. The poor are the majority, Chavez represents them.
- The poor are not the 'ELITE'.
- The US do not help the poor.
- Slavery? You're insane.
- Chomsky is definitely NOT a anarchist, he's a socialist libertarian.

@Lukege15 -I actually lived in Venezuela most of my life. Chavez keeps the poor poor, just in slightly better conditions. He raises a new elite with obscenely expensive cars and houses, while most of the country stays poor.
-The US have adopted "socialist"" programs in the past in order to keep the poor silenced. Just not as much as other countries. It's called populism
-capitalism=slavery. venezuela is state and free market capitalist
-Socialist libertarian= anarchist. Look it up.

@Lukege15 Also, sorry to break it to you, but the US was never made by the people and for the people, it is not and it isn't a democracy. The US shouldn't even exist just like Venezuela or any state. And as I said, Chavez only helps the poor in the same ways in which the US government has, they have only done it to keep them calm and complacent so their government doesn't get overthrown. They take everything from the poor and then give them back the crumbs so they stay happy.

@hotboyclarence I would disagree. Noam Chomsky is absolutely informed. I would strongly suggest that you read one his books to get a better picture of Chomsky. BTW, part of linguistics is socio-linguistics which can only be understood with a profound understanding of politics and sociology.
And Chomsky is considered one of the greatest thinkers of our time. In his home country, the US, he is unfortunately little supported and less known, possibly because he is to critical for the masses?!?

Why does the US try to remove from power every leader in Latin or Central America who puts his nations resources and people first? Why can't they accept that other nations can do things differently, and they don't have to be out-and-out capitalists? Look at the debt and financial mess of the US. The top 5% are mega-rich while the middle class is shrinking and the poor increasing. Wake up Americans. You have been conned out of your own nation's wealth by neo-con capitalist gangsters.

That US guy who said 'We should assasinate Chavez" needs a bullet himself. It should be a crime to make such a claim in public. The US has no right to do anything to Chavez. If the people of Venezuela don't want him, let them remove him. But the fact is most people in Venezuela are very poor, and Chavez is quite popular among the masses because he is the first leader to enact policies that give hope to the poor. In the past, ironically, Venezuelan leaders close to US screwed their own people.

This makes it obvious he could give two shits what the people think. Then after losing the crucial 2/3 required to pass legislation, he circumvented the parliamentary process by passing a law to allow him to rule by decree for the next 18 months. I'd love to see how some hard someone has to bend reality to defend some o these practices.
