"the proper and natural extension of classical liberalism into the era of advanced industrial society."

Dr. Chomsky recently told Iranian TV that at the time the USA attacked Afghanistan they had no evidence that al Qaeda had done 9/11. See my video "Chomsky on Faith-Based Wars and 9/11"

Conservative or liberal Chomsky is the most quoted man in history. The man is a genius.

@Drogba575

I completely agree that Chomsky is a genius. I am confused, however, about your comment. Chomsky is neither a "liberal" nor "conservative". That is what is most beautiful about his beliefs, they are a knife to the heart of American indoctrination.

Classical liberalism --> Libertarian socialism.

Always confused me.

A unique Chomsky speech I think. Very interesting backgrounds of his views, that you don't hear in his interviews so much.

I also really like the images you put in the video - makes it actually fun to watch. You'voe got a nice taste :)

Thanks for uploading

One of the best lectures Chomsky has ever given. Aside from the great content, I think it is also interesting that he raises many issues, in 1970, that have recently gone mainstream (corporate consolidation, media consolidation, environmental destruction).

Definitely ahead of his time.
