Todo lo que dice Noam Chomsky se puede aplicar hoy en dia en Colombia. La democracia y los derehcos e estan atacando con la excusa de "usted se calla sea patriotico mientros yo empujo mi propia agenda"..

The people love Noam; he has used his position of privilege as a white Westerner male to help others, the only humane choice.

So...if superimposed within ANY other governmental rule (country) can you say he would be supportive/understanding of that system.I think he would rail against ANY countries gov't/system and I do think RIGHTLY SO, but then the question becomes(surely Lesser-of-2-evils)but also 'rightly' so given human behavior,--just which system allows for dissention (at least did before "patriot act")..are there some gov't bodies which would suppress the watching/posting/blogging of this interview??

no no no no, he means the miltary industrial complex, thought of conventionally as a corporate endeavor for increased profits through military porgrams, are now being funded by YOUR TAXES AKA "Public Subsidies."

[Hijodelarebeldia]

I agree, he´s a little vague in that respect. I guess he means that the m-i complex actually is a form under which the industrial complex -in a wide sense- has appeared. Buttom line is the power analysis he makes where the powerful always lead society towards their interests, with different pretexts of course..

[Rickdeckard2020]

Can someone rephrase his explanation of why the military-industrial complex is a misnomer? I sensed that he meant that its the industry(industrial complex) and that the military sufix was only the flavor of the day (most effective pretext of the day), but Im not sure thats really what he meant, thanks.
