He is comparing the position of the President of the United States to the position of the Queen of England, and people on here think this man is brilliant? That is absurd. He has no clue as to what the President actually does and he is speaking at college campuses? Why do people want to hear him speak if he believes that the President's role is just a ceremonial role? That is ridiculous and this man does not have the first clue.
@kuhnmartin Chomsky's quite right really; if you think that a President is truly personally influential over his surroundings then you probably have too much faith in the extent of executive authority. It relates to elitist theories of democracy, e.g. 'The Power Elite' by C. Wright Mills. National executives are just one part of the network of powerful institutions that dictate the nature of the status quo
@HarryTheTalkingDude If you think the position of the President of the United States is just and only a figure head, then who issues executive orders which have to force of law but does not require congressional approval? Who also is "Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces?" Who is the only person in government who has the authority to use nuclear weapons? This all sounds more like a person of power and less of a figure head to me. How about you?
@HarryTheTalkingDude That is why I say that Chomsky does not know what he is talking about when he, and apparently you as well, make that horrible, inaccurate, flat out WRONG comparison.
@HarryTheTalkingDude Oh, and by the way, C. Wright Mills was another guy along the same anti-American lines and Chomsky. Mills supported Fidel Castro while criticizing American society and what he saw as American Imperialism. Another American hating American "intellectual." If these guys hate this country so much, they can piss off to another country, except Mills who is dead. Chomsky should relocate somewhere else where maybe he will find some happiness.
@HarryTheTalkingDude So I believe that your silence means that you don't have any argument against my own argument? Is that correct? Would you say now that the President of the United States is in fact, more than just a figure head and is actually a position with power and substance?
@kuhnmartin My silence is largely indicative of the fact that I'm not on youtube as regularly as you might presume; personally I didn't say that the President is "just a figure head" but said that he's less influential over his surroundings than you may presume. You mentioned the use of 'executive orders' and 'nuclear weapons' for example; do you think that Presidents can use these powers independent of the interests of corporations, parties, the media, etc? Power is relative to your environment
@HarryTheTalkingDude Okay, well no matter what amount of fact I bring to the table you will just dismiss it. The point is the position of the President of the United States has these powers, the Queen of England does not, therefore to make a comparison between the two as Chomsky does is a comparison lacking in any understanding of what exactly each position is even capable of. They are in no way near the same thing.
@kuhnmartin My point is that Chomsky most probably makes the comparison to draw attention to his theories as to the relative impotence of executive authority when the surrounding structures are taken into account. Personally, I don't wholeheartedly subscribe to a literal interpretation of executive authority as being a complete bystander in world events; I think Chomsky here is drawing his theories to their extreme conclusion in order to summarise them in a short period of time in a conference
@HarryTheTalkingDude Most probably? See, you are not even sure why he makes the comparison. Whatever his reasons for making the comparison still doesn't make the comparison a good one. If this guy is so brilliant, why can't be muster the brain power to make a true and accurate comparison? And why can't he muster somre freaking volume in his voice, you can hardly hear him, he almost mumbles his way through an answer. Anyways, my point is made.
@kuhnmartin "Not even sure"? How could I be sure if he doesn't elaborate? Chomsky's obviously in a guest lecture or a conference and doesn't elaborate upon why he makes that distinction in depth because he hasn't been encouraged to. Complaining about his voice has no bearing upon his theories either; if you're that eager to refute him them read some of his work, you won't need to hear his voice and would be far more aware of his theories in detail.
@HarryTheTalkingDude I have no interest in reading his books if this is the kind of sewage that spews from his face. Why would I want to read that? A guy that thinks the position of the President of the United States and the position of the Queen of England are the same? I'll pass, thank you. Why people like you give this guy the time of day when he obviously does not know what he is talking about is beyond me. Why would you waste your time?
@kuhnmartin The only waste of time is reading that which you already agree with; I used to disagree with Chomsky, but I read things that encourage me to challenge my assumptions and current perspective. That's how you develop your mind.
@HumanoidComplex You can't become president without the backing of gigantic financial companies. As such, elections are mainly bought, and corruption runs rampant.
@pcgamer010 I was so surprised I actually gasped before I started laughing hysterically. It's always extra funny when serious people make jokes [like that].
You do realize that understanding language is incredibly valuable for reading and comprehending literature, and your that smart-ass remark is actually an open declaration of your stupidity?
@JimmyeDallas Sorry, Jimmy. Let me explain: Chomsky's expertise in linguistics gives him a platform and by using this platform to express his political opinions, he is abusing it. The average pro athlete understands this concept, and so they don't talk about politics. Chomsky is no more qualified to discuss politics than A-Rod. he's entitled to his opinions, though.
@Allrightteam How is he not qualified to talk about politics? What qualifications do you think you need? He is obviously well read and takes his study seriously, so what magical "thing" does he need to be able to talk about politics with your blessing?
@BigBagsForRent2 He's entitled to his opinion. But I would think that magical thing would be a credible background in the field, like he has in linguistics. He has opinions and he uses his platform as an academic in an utterly unrelated field to espouse them, and that impresses some people. Doesn't impress me. Now, what magical quality should I possess so I can express my opinion with your blessing?
@Allrightteam As far as I can tell he doesn't use his linguistics background as a specific means of propelling his politics at all. What are you talking about? His background as a professor does, however, lend credibility to the quality and integrity of his thought. Anything he writes is easily fact checked and illuminates the depth of his knowledge. Facts speak for themselves.
As for your last question, I don't think you have too many magical qualities to be honest.
@BigBagsForRent2 You should get to know me. He's a cunning linguist and a master debater, but it's no coincidence that he sticks to the university crowd. They're most likely to be impressed by his credentials and forget that he is speaking outside of his area of expertise. I don't blame him. There's not likely much of a market for books and speeches on linguistics. He wouldn't get to be a millionaire by sticking to what he knows.
@AriesLudzik I hope you were trying to be funny, otherwise you are a moron. Any person with half a brain understood how O'bama made that mistake. If you were being serious then obviously you have less than that amount.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have successfuly framed themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
These ideas are great and all if they can work, which they never have. Anyone here want to head to Cuba for you medical care?
If it wasn't for inflation, government interference, and insurance companies our healthcare would be cheaper and the best.
Who here thinks that SS or Medicare actually work? They pay in little, take in a lot, then the next generation gets stuck with the tab. Ponzi Scheme, like what is going to happen here in the United States, but Chomsky wants MORE! Lets borrow more!
Chomsky seems to be an idealist and a dreamer, not in reality. For one we have a Constitution, and many of those things, even though they have been there awhile are unconstitutional.
Two.. 14 trillion in debt and SS is bust, we don't have the MONEY! That is the problem with socialists, they always want to spend other peoples money for the aid of another. It is un American to force someone to give goods to another because you think they deserve it!
@Martial024 chomsky isnt a socialist by any definition of the word, he is a right wing anarcho syndicalist. this is literally as far away from socialism as you can possibly get (nearly)
@Martial024 I can agree with the statement that he is an idealist, which in many ways is a good thing. At least they are consistent and not - labile in lack of better words. A dreamer, maybe, but who aren't. We all sketch our concept of what should be an ideal state to strive towards, whatever measures that are needed to be sought in the meantime to attain it is another question.
Other than that i tend to agree with Chomsky on how socialism has been demonized to mean something bad.
@Martial024 Not really. We have lots of money. We spend more on the military than China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, Italy, England, France, South Korea, Russia, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and India—combined. Not only do we spend a lot, but our spending is disproportionate to our GDP. But what happens when you demilitarize? Thousands come home and need work, and b/c we let corporations do as they will, many of our jobs are overseas. No government wants mass jobless ex-military; it's dangerous.
@xHarry2112x I agree that an abrupt and total demilitarisation would create a dangerous homeland situation as you describe. However, your argument rests on the a somewhat slippery slope type argument, how about a slow and formulated demilitarisation that aims to create jobs while taking them? The funding and personnel are already there, the difference is that it could be put into sustainable outlets that end up bolstering the economy rather than bleeding it dry.
@runmonsta Indeed. Have you read Russell's "In Praise of Idleness"? I recall he discusses how industry functioned during the WWI despite the absence of the typical labor force. More people at home doesn't have to entail tougher competition and higher unemployment; it could entail shorter work days, a decent standard of living, and more time for education, which would potentially mean a smarter democracy. I recommend the essay and book if you haven't read them already.
@Martial024 firstly, chomsky isn't a socialist. secondly, stop peddling garbage myths about socialism - it has very little to do with spending other people's money and everything to do with economic democracy.
The problem in the US started with the McCarthy witchhunts and Reagan pretty much clinched it.
The US will never get out of the shadow of it's businesses, it's citizens will forever be the collective (and largely WILLING (because they don't know any better) bitch of the overclass. And their overclass will continue to tyrannize the world until the US economy finally collapses under the strain of all the wars (At which point it'll be like Russia now.)
Chomsky, he's telling it like it is, and as such, naturally the rich-owned media makes sure most people never hear about it, and that he's demonized in case they DO hear him, so that they won't listen.
@TheSkunkCat remember that chomsky cheered on McCarthy during these proceedings. he was in college (grad school) and they would sit around a tv and literally cheer and support McCarthy because he was taking on larger criminals (such as multi-national arms dealers etc) I am really surprised that people who commit on chomskys videos know so little about him, the last commit even said chomsky was a socialist. learn to read, these things are easy to discover

He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage.

@BerryA86 That's how it's seems to be since their all bought and paid for, they certainly don't represent a strong America or the people's interests only their own and those who put them in office which is not by the vote of the people but those who gained from the stimulous package; BANKERS! owned by the IMF not the FED who only represents those same gangsters by taking your fake money (PROMISSORY NOTES/ FIAT) by force.
@readmuch Yup, thats why I put it the way I did. Ugg, occupy earth... there is just so much wrong everywhere. Why cant I let myself just sell out already.
@readmuch No fan of all three, but Bush is different. His ancestors Herbert Walker, and George Prescott Bush were Wall St. manipulators, financial supporters of the Nazis until 1943, GHW Bush's mother led the movement to sterilize lower IQ people. Bush Sr. was carefully groomed through the CIA, to the Vice Presidency, then to the Oval Office. The plan was For Jeb Bush to take over from there, but, darn, he lost an election, so we were stuck with "W". Bill and Barack can't match all that!
@Wutwut1n1 We need to go back in time before corruption began to destroy the once USA to proxy #7 as you would say, he would have been the greatest to me. Although there were more, none have really tried or could even stop the growth of the monster we face today and only through certain farewell addresses would you even catch a glimpse of the totality they discovered!
The Queen certainly understands UK policy! She is the longest serving (albiet un-elected) politician internationally, with perhaps the greatest grasp and experience of politics than anyone living.
