Noam Chomsky on democracy and society

This is a clip from the British television series "How to start your own country" a semi-serious program about that very topic.You can tell this from the semi-serious questions.My favourite part is Noam`s almost loving gaze at the shirt.

Chomsky always stays focused when being interviewed by goofballs. Even Ali-G couldn't throw him off. So sad that the top Chomsky video in a youtube Chomsky search has been the stupid-ass Ali-G interview.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe all those chained Africans brought to the states in slave ships? Or perhaps the slaughtered natives might have had a premonition or two?

@trend2transhumanism I agree, even sadder that a farting baby clip has over 200 million views.

This man should live for at least 100 years more.

Holy fuck, this British fag is 1. Dumb as fuck 2. Annoying.

For me, Noam Chomsky - damn it's just too important to hear his opinion I really do want to just butt in on the comedian and say, "Shut up. Now. PLEASE" lol

[Cabronosidad]

@trend2transhumanism You're right, and he's always so interesting that when these lightweights interject, it's always deeply irritating to hear them.

(...) but it's not "the only source" either, it's just only a Trotskyist perpective. Trotskyists don't have a monopoly on "the true socialism"

And you have the wrong idea about anarchism. Chomsky has written a lot about it, as I see that you like him you may want to check out his "Notes on Anarchism" and other writings and interviews. Peace, comrade.

@zzsharka As you say there are different forms of socialism and I find it very annoying when a socialist takes an ultra-sectarian stance and claims he knows the one "true form" of socialism and everyone else is wrong, this sounds more like a radical religious cult lol.

If the website you're recommending me is wsws dot org, I knew it already and it has some fantastic content and is highly recommended to make someone discover a socialist perpective; (...)

[zzsharka]

@PavedStones lol there are different forms of socialism but the true form is not anarchism. Check out the World Socialist Equality Party website. They represent the working class who are under represented. Anarchism occurs when there is no organisation to represent the masses on a large scale. The World Socialist Equality Party is the only source you will find which tells it how it is, at least a great deal more than main stream media, with quotes from politicians that you don't usually see etc

[PavedStones]

@zzsharka They're not synonymous, but they're not contradictory either.. The classic socialist ideals are difficult to distinguish from anarchism, and Chomsky is into both. You've got some looking up to do, too :P

[zzsharka]

@PavedStones Socialist is not anarchist, Chomsky is a socialist. Look up the definition.
