Noam Chomsky On Democracy and "The Common Good " ( Part 2 )

Author and professor of linguistics at MIT Noam Chomsky discusses democracy and the "common good" with David Barsamian. The interview details the historical roots of democratic rights -- from Aristotle to the US Constitutional Convention -- and questions the role of today's private corporations that want to "undermine democratic functioning but ensure that there will be a powerful state to subsidize them," as Chomsky puts it.

@AnonymousWhitePerson You are not capable of thinking!

If you don't question power, what power can you possibly have?

Many people are Incapable of Thinking Without Chomsky, such as Barry Zwicker.

I'm so glad he's meeting with American politicians...

it might be a good sign of things to come.

maybe Noam Chomsky's insight will sink in
