Chomsky: In swing states vote Obama without illusions

@alistairproductions a piece of paper or trophy*

@pollywogA1 Hahaha listen man, there's more to credibility than certificates and trophies. This man has written like 1000s of essays on politics... Do you seriously think you need a PhD in something to speak about it? I mean this man probably has some knowledge of almost ever historical event that is considered significant and you want to see a piece of trophy. Absolutely incredible.

Dr. Noam Chomsky, PhD in Anthropology and specialized in Linguistics - not politics or economics. He should stick to swinging the alphabet instead of continuing to make a fool of himself.

Chomsky has the most intelligent political insights of any USAn. I think you should stop making a fool of yourself.

Obama genocida

Chomsky, the "anarchist," thinks we have "freedom" now because of the New Deal? Wow. I didn't know I was free, and I didn't know that it was Roosevelt who set me free. Amazing what you can learn on the internet!

And at 6:00, this nut says that the health care system is messed up because it's "privatized"! I guess the nut doesn't understand that it's controlled by the gov't? He should read the laws and the papers once in a while.

What a joke!

Anarchist = socialist libertarian. There's nothing to reconcile.

actually there is. first of all there are more than one types of anarchist. second, a public health care system requires that there be a "public", ie. a state, as opposed to "private", ie. owned by a person or group of people. in an anarchist system the police, firemen, road constructors, etc. are all privatized because there's no state to make it "public" or "nationalized".
how would health care be different from what the US has now?

Nothing to reconcile? Oh, ok. "Smash the state...and while you're at it implement forced government health care."

Hypocrite.

The idea isn't to get rid of all forms of order and public benefits, but to dismantle the centralized power of the federal government and enormous corporations. Health care could be handled much more efficiently if managed regionally. You don't need the centralized power of a federal government to achieve that. There's nothing contradictory about this. The economic system he proposes is Parecon, specifically, if you're interested.
