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
