I nominate Noam Chomsky for leader of the Occupy Movement.

Ugh. Look, if we wanted for some to vote for to reform this rotten system, we would've found a candidate a long time ago, but our intention is not to let this unsustainable system to go on any longer, quite the opposite, we wish for a classless society. No movement with a leader will or can give us that, it's something we'll all have to bring about.

Strike - Occupy - Takeover!

@beethovenfan3 Another hyrpocryte tard! Can I occupy your house too. Ohhhh but you don't believe in private ownership.... RIGHT???

@honour123 Fuck anything you have to say! Fool.

I am also not sure how Mr Chomsky just thinks how economic disparity in the US is just a function of the greedy practices of Wall Street. Wall Street is not going to grow a conscience over night and start protesting against their own practices. The working class has to fight for its rights.

I am not sure of a couple of things that Mr Chomsky stated here: how does he know that chair's of Departments are paying the party to become the chairperson? Then he states that in parliamentary systems, chairpersons are usually appointed on seniority or experience in legislation and he suggests that this would be an improvement. In parliamentary systems, most politicians are just waiting to become a minister at a certain age without doing anything. Not sure how that would be an improvement!

I wonder if Chomsky would mind if I occupied HIS RICH ASS HOME!

He's a hyprocryte! Like all the rest. Walk your talk Chomsky.

Linguist!

capitalism itself is profoundly unnatural, if only in the sense that it assumes that growth will continue perpetually, in one way or another. Also, as most people in Europe know, we are not naturally isolated beings out to get ahead against everyone else; we are naturally part of communities and we naturally care for each other.

@fede2 Capitalism allows people to improve themsleves, it's not easy and nor should it. Socialism pushes people down to the same insignificant level which is why it will never succeed over capitalism.
