  • this interview appears in the book "Chomsky on Anarchism"

    With all due respect, I'm going to have to slightly disagree with you. Yes, universities are shifting to the right, in large part due to corporatization. However, comparatively speaking, universities can afford people much more freedom than other institutions, and are more open to free inquiry. Check out Chomsky's interview with Sasha Lilley, where he praises the university employment system as being the closest the world has got to "council communism."

    Yes I guess it is true that the time he sacrifices is significant. Also I've just thought of this that just because a person has income doesn't mean he spends it on himself, he could be doing whatever with it. Though the few dislikes that I still have about him is his support for universities, which I hate, they have come to be very right wing institutions, and I hate how he doesn't see that. I also hate how he thinks universities are free, maybe his MIT is, but not others.

    Chomsky regularly contributes money to alternative news organizations like In These Times and ZCommunications. In that sense, he's contributed toward helping his community. (Of course, there's that other super massive contribution; namely, sacrificing most of his personal life in order to raise awareness and teach around the world.)

  • Chomsky says that there should be a tax on those with higher income instead of going into the outsourcing arguement. He says that those with luxurious lifestyles should give some of it up, then he says including himself. But here we have a contradiction, if he is one of the people with luxury and arguing for such a thing, shouldn't he already have given up that luxury or start giving it up this moment? It doesn't make sense to me, someone help me with this. Doesn't this make him hypocritical?

  • Yes!

    Its fascist command economics not free enterprise, which restrains sane economic choices.

  • no part 3 yet?
