Anarchy: Co-operation without restraint-Noam Chomsky (5/5)

[harpoonflyby]

I think much of his views depend upon the time it takes for the arrival of sufficient technology and putting that into the hands of the many, divided by the rise of aggressive corporatism and political oppression in order to achieve it. If exploited and oppressed citizens are so oppressed by the time machines can sufficiently take over the necessary work nobody wants to do, then it may be too late to consider options because in essence they people will devolve into consumeristic human beings

To what extent must a governmental system grow oppressive and coercive in order for the people to revolt? Does a social climate of constant fear and division prevent this revolution, and is it possible for an oppressive society, with an idiology of freedom, to remain oppressive over long spans of time?

a rare and extraodinary interview. Chomsky's views of society and work are quite astonishing are very relevant to what a just society would be.
