Noam Chomsky: Never proud of government

[yossariancomplex]

This video is clearly meant to be takeout of context. It is intended to make you believe Chomsky hates America, where as in fact he is simply statng that governments, all governments rely on violence and coersion. Had the clip not been cut short I expect he would have gone on to talk about reasons to be proud of his country ( the U.S.A.) as he has done many, many times in the past. He often affirms Americas position as one of the free-est places in the world. Hate propaganda? Vote up.

Why doesn't Chomsky go live in a different country, Cuba.

[RMCrowley]

be proud of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. or don't be.. buddists have said pride is delusion.

[FA8T]

Where is the rest? Please, I implore you, I would so very much love to see the rest of this. Chomsky is one of my heros along with Howard Zinn and Michael Parenti.

This is a clip from a documentary called "Manufaccturing Consent" -- after one of Prof. Chomsky's books.

[patient0Studios]

Its from the documentary titled Manufacturing consent. The same title as the book which propelled Dr. Chomsky to such heights

[harpoonflyby]

How can we get the rest of this video? What is the date please?

[RBoon]

It's from a documentary called "Manufacturing Consent," apparently named after the book of the same name --- don't have the date. Sorry.

By the way: Chomsky is not in favour of building up a Kurdish nation. He is for more rights for the kurdish minority and for their autonom political organization in their areas. He is an anarchist, as a consequence he don't like the idea of goverments, not important if they are Turkish or Kurdish ones.

[Staubdumm]

Sorry wrong video! :D

[RBoon]

Interesting comment anyway -- so, will leave it anyway if you don't mind.

Assault on Democracy and freedom

[RBoon]

Democratic process gives governments the appearance of support -- which often makes the degree and extent of the violence even worse. The U.S. Government, when its record is viewed objectively, is a good example.

[stevenptrue]

The US record (especially post WW2) is a mixed bag. There has been a whole lot of the subverting of democracy in Chile, Iran, Central America, etc for example. However, most of western Europe owes it's democracy in large part to support of the US.

[stevenptrue]

Even with single states it is mixed. Post WW2 the US went out of it's way to establish a strong democracy in Japan: humanizing the emperor, reforming the education system, establishing universal suffrage and women's rights. Then it preceded to make sure Japan wouldn't go "red" by send the CIA and boatloads of cash to back conservative LDP politicians in the parliament. The recored is mixed.

@stevenptrue

And of course it muste be added that the only reason they were even over there to help the people to begin with is because they had just finished blowing their people to hell with two atom bombs.

[Leibo07]

Nope. Capitalism, satellite states and Nato for 'Europe'.

Thank you Stalin for crushing fascism. It cost 20 million Russian lives.

We will never forget the real heroes.

One of my favorite quotes by Emma Goldman (I'm Anarcho-Captialist but its still a great quote) "Elections are advanced auctions of stolen goods."

[2882890]

I know you have the right to regard yourself as whatever you want but in my book you are a free marketeer. Anarchism is fundamentally social and I hate it's association with anarcho-capitalism.

[MatthewLeee]

Anarchy is the lack of rulers, period.

[nemesisnick66]

I RULE YOU!

[MatthewLeee]

lol.

[grazon]

Why didn't Chomsky tell everyone that Tillman was against the war soon as he heard that Tillman had died?
