  • Noam Chomsky is a part of the system! He is Controlled Opposition...yes he knows a lot about the world political and economic situation, but that is because he is on the side of the ones who manipulate it! Don't be fooled...I was a first, but research has lead me to a higher analysis....Open Minds never Close...Don't stop searching........

  • Chomskey is NOT a demagogue. He works at MIT for crying out loud

  • @MsTommyknocker "Chomskey"(sic) is a demogogue and a hypocrite. He's denied the Cambodian killing fields really happened. Did you know that?

  • @knicklas48

    Do you even understand what demagogy is? He must support the instituted power to be a demagogue... it's about putting in place measures that seduce the pubic into favoring your position as a figure of authority.

    Tell me now how is Chomsky doing this, firstly and, secondly, you're going to have to explain how the hell would it even matter at all? You still have to attack the ideas, not the author.

  • They say that out of all the republican candidates, John Huntsman is by far the best, next we have Ron Paul

  • ....there is no minor super power ...

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • Fuck ibm nazi scum

  • Huntsman's Dad pays for his commercials get real! RP for pres!

  • chomsky's assessments are always fascinating. does he have any other reading recommendations for technology and innovation?

  • He is ruining my Tom Clancy view of the Cold War. BOOOOO! 

  • The Soviet Union was not communist any more than the West was democratic.

    The fallacy of our perceived democracy is finally being realised by the masses and this has to be a good thing. With today's technology is is easier to see from inside - if we were truly democratic we would be voting on issues with the buttons on our tv's rather than who we want to be evicted from Big Brother.

  • ...I saw an ambulance - it was a rusty estate car, the back was full of crumpled blankets with blood on - life was cheap there. We went to mass graves in Stalingrad/St Petersburg and they had eaten each others children when they were starving. Yet they were convinced, utterly, that we were the bad guys. I came home with culture shock. I had seen the Russian Dream and could put it in perspective now to the American Dream and even more shocking to me, the English Dream...

  • ...but everybody was rude, not just to us, but to each other, and they stank, and one in three men wore uniform, and they queued in the magnificent halls of their department store, but on each of the several occasions I asked what they were queuing for, they didn't know, only that there was something. But we could buy whatever we wanted at the tourist shop. Nearly all the cars on the road were the same make and model government car and they took people off the streets in front of me...

  • I love the way he explains in such easily understood language. No pretension, and spot on. I went to Russia as teenager in 1985, 2 weeks after we (the US and UK - I'm English, would never have agreed given a choice BTW) bombed Libya. Perestroike (forgive the spelling) had just come in and Gorbachev was in power there, Thatcher at home. The people seemed convinced that they had 'the best' everything, such as their underground in Moscow, which was very beautifully decorated, and very cheap...

  • Am certain every period must have had its own particular, specific, saviour of the intellect, those gifted prophets who were gifts themselves to humanity. For us, thanks God for NC. It, (his thoughts), makes 'thinking', very enjoyable.

  • I just learned more about the Cold War in 6 minutes than I did all through high school.

  • @Lunis *grin*

    That's one of the most perfectcomments I've ever seen.

  • @Lunis Chomsky is a demogogue. The Soviet Union failed because of socialism's failures but for loons like Chomsky it cannot be seen to be socialism's failure.

  • @knicklas48 You're an idiot. Kill yourself.

  • @Incognitoification1 You're a coward and weakling because you're compelled to fantasiize about the death of someone simply disagrees with you. Like UFOers, birthers, holocaust deniers and other conspiracy freaks, goofs like Chomsky are compelled to find deep, dark facts that are hidden and incomprehensible to the hoi poloi.

  • @knicklas48

    Hidden, dark facts that are incomprehensible? I hope that you're trying to demonstrate that you are incompetent and ignorant with regard to what you're talking about because you're currently poking at a straw-man and relying unto a false analogy.

    All the others do not have the factual substance required to make their claims... but guess what? Chomsky does. And, better: do you know where he takes it? Many of them are directly coming from official, public, documents.

  • @knicklas48

    Documents, that I must had, are published by people who can't have any incentive to falsify data so that it proves themselves fundamentally wrong...

    Basically, you're someone who disagrees with what Chomsky says and like an 8 years old (it's not an ad hominen, I'm referring to the cognitive schemes you're showing here) you think he's wrong on that basis without bothering to actually understand what he thinks before evaluating it.

  • @knicklas48

    The day you will be able to approach the question formally, come back. If you cannot do that, you can obviously continue to troll with insults and I won't even try to convince you to do otherwise because it would mean you'd be too dumb to understand where's the problem.

    But if you do show up with a substantiated case -- and it has to be big and solid, as well as offer many instances because you're discrediting the whole of his thoughts -- I will discuss.

  • @iusecomputers2

    There cant be ever enough yahts!

  • @KenMacMillan Oh, do fuck off. Ron Paul was never even referred to (not even indirectly)

  • @GiantSandles Are you British?

  • @KenMacMillan That's irrelevant, but yes.

  • @KenMacMillan

    Hell no.

  • @cornishpastie9 He's more in line with Chomsky's point of view than anyone else running for president.

  • @KenMacMillan

    No he isn't. There are several types of libertarian. Chomsky is the good kind. Ron Paul is, well, not.

  • @cornishpastie9 Ron Paul and Chomsky don't see eye to eye on domestic policy, but on foreign policy, they are very much alike (based on what both have said over the years)

  • @AliceNchainz011

    I know that, but domestic policy is important too.

  • @cornishpastie9 Of course it is, but out of all the republican candidates, Paul is clearly the most preferable. Many of his proposed spending cuts wouldn't even get approval from congress anyway...like when Reagan talked a big game about cutting spending in the 80s, but in reality did anything but that.

  • @KenMacMillan I am tending to believe you. Its true Ron Paul is the most moderate of the candidates...but, can you give examples?

  • @oddysseuss Sure, let me point out I'm not claiming that they're the same by any means but they do agree on foreign policy & even though austrian economics isn't 100% accurate it's better than anything we've had in decades.

  • @oddysseuss I would say the Huntsman is the most moderate. Paul wants to reduce the welfare and warfare states. He's got the radical ideas from both sides, but that doesn't simply cancel out into moderate.

  • @KenMacMillan on foreign policy yes, but on economic policy hes the opposite

  • @FukCommando I agree, & he doesn't support Ron Paul for president. What I'm saying is that a libertarian president will save lives, regardless of whether they're left or right. It's good for libertarianism in general as well.

  • @KenMacMillan yeah he would save lives, i would rather ron paul was president than obama

  • Great speech, thanks for uploading it.
