Noam Chomsky - The Cold War

[@disme3999]

Damn I love listening to this man speak his knowledge to people. No one on this planet can out speak this man. Where is his noble peace prize?

[@marcspagnola7682]

D is Me amen!!

[@billweir1745]

I mean, how often has that prize actually gone to someone who actually deserved it? Hell, Hitler was even nominated for it.

[@eugenedebbs2189]

@@billweir1745 Kissinger and Obama actually got it. Not to mention Aung San Suu Kyi who is overseeing the genocide of Rohingyas and hell, even Donald Trump was nominated for it.

[@billweir1745]

@@eugenedebbs2189 Yeah. Most of these things are completely meaningless. One more tool to keep the wool over everyone's eyes.

[@rodrigom.m.7666]

This channel is very good, but there should be dates in the title or in the description. At least the year of the clip. This one seems to be from 1985.

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

i would agree with that

[@christmascactus1882]

Lots of these old broadcasts on YT aren't dated, which is really annoying. Now it might be that people are digging these old images somewhere and uploading them and are unable to find a date on them themselves.

[@stvinney]

Clearly 3 old men were enjoying a nice day in the outdoors, they were confronted by a Chomsky and had no defense other than to sit there and be intellectually steamrolled... I cant imagine a human being with more intellectual might than this guy.

[@michil75]

you just made my day lol

[@benjamintchang3923]

lol

[@mcnt9506]

I know this was 5 years ago (how old do you feel now?), but this comment still made me laugh a bunch

[@gepmrk]

Yes, this Noam at his peak that's for sure. BTW, does anyone know who the other three guys are?

[@ajaypasricha9855]

Funny cause right after this the US went back on its promise not to move NATO "one inch to the east"

[@juanmonge7418]

Sunday in the park with Chomsky.

[@datnguyenthe8300]

9:20 "... presumably against the Martians" 😂 😂

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

6:30 "coerce and control and penetrate markets" that is the name of the game in international politics

[@juvenalhahne7750]

Antes mesmo de assistir a esse vídeo, reparo nos cabelos pretos de Chomsky. Ele era provavelmente na época mais jovem umas décadas do que hoje, certamente com mais de 90 agora! Isso só prova sua relevância como analista político desde o início de sua carreira.

[@hamzatahir8074]

Chomsky is genius

[@johnmaisonneuve9057]

Wow! Incredible command of facts, history and truth!

[@justinlanan2565]

Thank you so much for sharing this. You are helping an entire generation to wake up.

[@shway1]

more old videos of chomsky please!

[@gerryboudreaultboudreault2608]

Yes! The older the video, the better we can see how accurate he has been.

[@ArtHistoryScholar]

Thank you so much for uploading this to share with us. Can you please provide the date of this video? Thanks, Doug

[@nukefluke]

Very appropriate now. "..presumably the Martians" 😆

[@patrickrobinson1935]

"United States is the most free and open society, forgetting social issues." That's a lot to forget, Noam! smh

[@juvenalhahne7750]

Continuando um pouco sobre Chomsky: sua fidelidade ideológica aos princípios do anarquismo faz de seus atuais ouvintes, pelos comentários que lemos a respeito, admiradores de sua integridade intelectual e moral... Pergunto-me contudo se o mundo atual, acossado por agendas e uma polarização regredindo, está disposta a discussão ou se encontra tomada pelo fantasma do Apocalipse conforme vemos pelos filmes mais recentes dotados de alguma seriedade?

5:45 There is no coordinated state planing. Institutional structure as it's developed since ww2 (technique by which government stimulate production). Creating state guarantied market.

[@nanamieg]

Anyone has a link of the full talk/debate?

[@theprussianmink]

6:58 The guy sitting next to Chomsky is like "Jesus Christ, I'm way out of my league here.."

[@villiestephanov984]

The Prussian Mink : the bold one with the glasses, or the one next to him ?

[@vieuxnez]

If a bear showed up, Chomsky could talk it into a corner.

[@anastasi2012]

From the start, the Bolsheviks and the early Soviet Union were isolationist. They had tiny squirmishes like the territorial dispute with Finland but that had more to do with Russian ethnicity than the Soviet Union as a whole. Stalin's hand was forced to enter ww2 which he wasn't even prepared for. Towards the collapse of the USSR, the politburo was reluctant to get involved with Afghanistan because they knew if they got bogged down and word got out to millions of Soviet citizens, then there whole oppressive regime would fall like a house of cards. Instead they tried to support and fought alongside the Afghani communists and the inevitable occurred. There definitely was economical and political reasons why the Soviet Union collapsed but they tried very hard to keep a tight ship by trying to stay out of foreign affairs directly. For decades they tried to build this repressive socialist utopia but it became a pressure cooker and once a breath of democracy and individual freedom and doubt of the current system got into the pot, the lid blew off.

[@kerimozdemir4009]

laughable ussr supported war effort of germany even from 1930s weimar republic they want a war within capitalists so they can take over europe

[@matthewkopp2391]

@@kerimozdemir4009 Trotsky was constantly complaining that Stalin didn’t want „permanent revolution“ and wanted „socialism in one country“ and was isolationist. So I guess Trotsky was lying to everyone. The issue is why would anyone believe what you are saying when there isn’t a shred of evidence for your claim Snd plenty of evidence that Stalin was isolationist.

Dam Chomsky is a beast

[@duecesolid22]

BAM!!!

[@smooa1889]

we just skip over the others

[@SimplySophisticated10]

The fact that Chomsky is considered to be philosopher reflects 2 things: 1) That American society is deeply conservative and the ''progressive'' counterweight is..Chomsky, who has adopted anti-soviet(anti-communist) propaganda 100% + 2) The low class consciousness our world has, fact that is connected to the counter-revolution of '89-'91 and the temporary defeat of the new society. Socialism proved its superiority, proved that the only way to go History a step forward is to socialize the means of production!

[@pierren___]

The world will never be communist, unfortunately

[@boblarry649]

Chom was right except that Rusdians aren't commie they still are and still doing long range strategy
