  • Maybe if the clamor of reporters would BACK OFF we might be able to hear what the man is trying to say!

  • @zwiiyt l meant we the people should DEMAND govt take BACK the power of issuing money.On people demanding loans all the time-that could happen but there would be(unlike now)proper checks and balances=Regulation! The repayments of these loans will be smaller and spread more thinly(unlike now) and ADDED to taxation(maybe lowering income tax etc)to fund health,education,infrastructur­e etc(all the needs of a 21st century Civilised Society) Its not Utopian/Impossible-Just a change to (a) SYSTEM

  • @zwiiyt There SHOULD be a monopoly on money CREATION-and it should be in the hands of Govt-issuing Interest FREE loans to people+small business to help get them AND therefore the economy(which is fake anyway)out of the hands of the tiny minority that OWNS everyone+thing that as a debt connected to it.Business employs cheaper labour/moves abroad coz of massive debts/interest IT and its possible customers are shackled with!But we need a good guy(unbribed) govt in charge-Should WE stand? Or DEMAND?

  • @zwiiyt You borrow eg 1000.The bank creates it digitally(non physical new money-No ones account is touched) The bank as already checked on your withdrawl habits ie=how much CASH you use from their machines.Lets say 10%.Our bank asks The Central Bank for 100 in cash(only they can print cash)Central LENDS to our bank at national interest-UK 0.5%.Our bank pays that but adds it to our loan(why banks charge more than national rate)Enuf cash to cover peoples 10% use of it.UK=57Bil Cash-2,200Bil Digits

  • @zwiiyt State socialism caused the "trouble"?Free Unregulated PRIVATISED money creation caused this. Banks(yours and mine-not just Central banks)create EVERY loan out of THIN AIR(Digits on computer screens)and charge interest for all that hardwork TYPING numbers.DEBT=People work harder/longer.No family life,less to spend elswhere.Business=Less workers/less wages,cheaper suppliers(sweatshops)cheaper resources ripping up planet.Govts=War!To boost Econ+pay back bankers! Solution?lnterest Free Money

  • lol, with a voice like his, they should have prepared better.

  • naivity of these people astonishes me. actually any eastern-european is shocked once he visits british or american universities and finds out they are filled with young richkid commies that think solidarity stands for "providing food for each other".

  • I love the critique of stability that Chomsky Offers- stability itself can be dangerous as it maintains the status-quo of power. I am surprised that viewers continue to deify Chomsky rather than interpret and disseminate the content of the speech. People, no matter how inarticulate or silent, and not a person make revolutions happen.

  • Now it's long been understood that a society that is based on this principle will destroy itself in time. It can only persist - with whatever suffering and injustice it entails.... At this stage of history either... the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community issues guided by values of solidarity, and sympathy, and concern for others, or alternatively - there will be no destiny for anyone to control.

  • Perhaps his hoards of money can be used to fund these people. Perhaps he can charge less for his public lectures, perhaps he can work at somewhere cheaper than MIT and really help those less fortunate. Rather than being an armchair revolutionary

  • @zwiiyt Well, you are now stating a different point from your first, which was "Chomsky is blaming neoliberalism, yet benefit from it (the use of technology developed by this system), which make him an hypocrite (or something like that)", and my comment was simply to make you realize that (1) technology could have been in a different economic system and that (2) an economic system can be pretty bad even thought something come out of it.

    I will let others comments on your second point.

    Regards

  • @zwiiyt The communist developed the bomb too, and the concept of democracy emerged in a society where more than half of the population were slaves. A system can be "bad" even thought something "good" come out of it.

  • Sorry but three tree-hugging guys and a tent are not going to change anything - read up re: French revolution to learn about effecting change, as much as I respect Chomsky and people who stay out in the cold over night for their idealism. I haven't seen any constructive ideas, only demands for the world to stop being run as it is. That's not enough, guys, sorry!

  • pleadian, your spelling is pathetic.

  • @lessenful Excellent argument, retard.

  • educate-yourself./cn/noamchoms­kygatekepper26sep05.

    put shtml after last dot. and org after yourself

  • Chomsky is a schill. He avoids the real issues of the Federal Reserve and the international banking system using The Council On Foriegn Relations, Trilateral Commission to maniplulate policy and destroy informed debate. Look up his links to Rockerfella and Rothchild. Michael Moore is dogy too. //antichomsky.blogspot.com/200­5/10/jd-rockefeller-of-hypocri­sy.html

  • @pleadian a schill for who?

  • @OccupyIdeas 911bloggercom/node/2173

  • YES-THE GREAT GURU HIMSELF. THANK YOU NOAM. YOU STAND FOR GENIUS AND INTELLIGENCE. YOU DO NOT STAND FOR GREED AND COVETOUSNESS. YOU DO NOT STAND FOR BRUTALITY AND CUNNING. YOUR WORDS ARE THE TRUTH. THANK YOU. MY CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN THANK YOU. "OCCUPY THE REVOLUTION" YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR INHUMANMITY.

  • @kashmart THUMBS DOWN FOR EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITALS.

  • We don't need anybody else in the video apart from Noam, all the other people are just pratting around him.

  • @HengistTheGreat

    Comrade Chomsky is getting on in his years.. won't be long now :)

  • @cliffmahael2001

    All the more reason to listen to him now, without all the idiots milling about. Lucky he didn't deck one or two of them.

  • @cliffmahael2001 Chomsky will be around for decades. The man is sharp, brilliant and has made positive changes. You are a little masturbating troll.

  • @HengistTheGreat

    No, we unfortunately didn't see many people. The more protesters, the better.

  • @HengistTheGreat They're the reason you got to see this video.

  • CAPITALISM creates ELITE CRIMINALS. BANKERS. DRUG LORDS. INEQUALITY. INSECURITY. GREED. RUTHLESS COMMUNISM. NWO. NAZI. TERRORISM. LAZY PEOPLE. REBEL POLITICIAN. ANARCHY. worst is WAR etc.. etc..

    CAPITALISM was designed only for CORRUPT OPPORTUNISTIC MANIPULATIVE LAZY POLITICIAN. BANKERS. LAWYERS. DRUG LORDS. JUDGES. CRIMINALS. DICTATORS. RULERS. KING. SULTANATE. EMPEROR etc. etc..

    HARD WORKING PEACE LOVING HAPPY HONEST SOCIETY were always the slave victim and poorly starve to death. :(

  • @kopellhinex YOU HATE CAPITALISM YET YOU POST COMMENTS WITH EXCESSIVE CAPITALS...
