Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn on Democracy Now for 2007-04-16

In Rare Joint Interview, Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn on Iraq, Vietnam, Activism and History
In a Democracy Now! special from Boston, two of the city's leading dissidents, Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, sit down for a rare joint interview. Noam Chomsky began teaching linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge over 50 years ago. He is the author of dozens of books on linguistics and U.S. foreign policy. Howard Zinn is one of the country's most widely-read historians. His classic work "A People's History of the United States' has sold over 1.5 million copies and it has altered how many teach the nation's history. Chomsky and Zinn discuss Vietnam, activism, history, Israel-Palestine, and Iraq, which Chomsky calls "one of the worst catastrophes in military and political history."

[@saskk2290]

This should have been a 10 hour interview series.

[@AI-Hallucination]

read some books they last a life time you young people just want to listen in backgroud

[@saskk2290]

@AI-Hallucination I don't disagree, but I'd argue this lasts a lifetime also. They were friends, and I wanted to experience their fellowship in person. You can't get that in a book, and I don't have a time machine

[@AI-Hallucination]

@@saskk2290 I have a few more years on you that is an important time, and all Chomsky and Zinn are talking about are in their 140 books they have between them.they would tell you to read, they would encourage it. the key to this is to keep there spirit alive combine them they have done there job they reached you I reached you we reached each other through them and they would like that.

[@AI-Hallucination]

@@saskk2290 I wrote a whole thing it deleted it anarchy is a way of life they have something like 120 books between them. They did there job they reached you they reached me combining the two keeping Their spirit alive Is how to keep listing

[@hartenskim]

amazing upload!

[@SeanandTres]

I am so amazed that this LIGHT is now freely flowing. I am 84 and am only now coming up to speed on this TRUTH. Isn’t time travel wonderful!

[@SeanandTres]

Twenty five years later these men impact me like a blazing light. How did the torch of truth be hidden. By the grace of God and the glory of human creativity, all hidden things are being made known. All who survive this day of truth dawning feel good clean air rushing in. May all our heads be crowned with fire and purged of dross. I am 84 years old and STUNNED to be able to time travel and hear preserved golden voices speaking incorruptible FACTS!

[@javiduarte5143]

great americans who speak the the truth

[@SpriteMinded]

I LOVE YOU CHOMSKY

[@TechnocraticBushman]

12 years and USA still has not retreated. It has just replaced US army personnel with private contractors like Blackwater or whatever they're called these days and radicalization of the disenfranchised is faster then it ever was.

[@ericdecker2914]

Same shit in 2021. 😒

[@TheLiveMusicGroup]

thanks!

[@chrsitiethebarber]

part 2?

[@Geo408]

NORM, we need to get tea and talk sometime.l, haha Thanks for showing me the way on so many issues.

[@mattmarkus4868]

Why don't you do yourself a huge favor and try to make up your own mind instead of finding others to imitate. You have a brain and a ton of material at your disposal so use it and come to your own conclusions. You see all these clones here on youtube repeating what others say, none of them having had an original thought in their life. No clue what they're saying but just trying to sound good. It's a sad state of affairs for the intellectual vibrancy of our culture.

[@same9309]

who is norm

[@IMSiegfried]

Is your name Norm? Chill, brother.

[@Oskoreii]

A. N. Chomsky is the closest thing you get to a modern renaissance man.

[@cass4613]

So before watching this, I was forced to watch 10 15 second US marine core propaganda ads. Ten! WTF!

[@IMSiegfried]

Get a free ad blocker and that will be the last ad you watched.

[@OthO67]

Angela Siegfried Right on! Although, this person seems to be looking for a 'Complaint Booth' not a solution.

[@eaststandred]

So disagreeing with policy makes you anti think for yourself

[@mercurypoisoned7420]

Amy was atypical U.S. government employee in East Timor when she was allegedly beaten by ....whatever. Show us the photos of your alleged injuries there, Goodman. Prove you aren't a liar and not an employee of American government while nosing around as a supposed freelance journalist. Chomsky has been informing on everyone since at least day one at M.I.T as their employee....he thinks he had the perfect cover...most people saw through it from the beginning.

[@rickobrien1583]

+mercury poisoned You poisoned at MIT?

[@24HeySay]

mercury poisoned: Man, life is tough. I feel for you. Now get up out of that chair, leave your mom's basement, and go get some fresh air. Meet a girl. Throw a frisbee. Do something, anything, but stop trying to think. It's not your strong point.

[@rickobrien1583]

Chomsky clones? God I wish..your out of your mind there Mr.

[@mattmarkus4868]

Umm.. you do know what I meant by ape don't you? ape means imitate - to copy. And that's what I see here with the Chomsky worshippers. It's so obvious when you step back and read. But thanks for calling me a dumb fuck lol

[@davidjansson9192]

Your an uneducated certified idiot ...you got it good!
