i love how chomsky just speaks so plainly. it's what has always attracted me to his writings, speeches, etc. he never says, "gotta kill the bastards" or something, he just says, "people ought to exert control over their own lives." love it.
I especially like his notions of advertisement agencies undermining markets. The common rhetoric is that regulation and other government interventions undermine or are obstacles to the free expression of markets.
If its about competition and the most efficient product coming on top advertisement agencies and marketing firms and all of that are in direct opposition to free-market principles.
