@@math_fax that was beautiful. What bothers me most, is the implication that "communist-Marxist-Leninist" is the same thing to be lumped together. Furthermore, implying the atrocities of police state empire is the evil of it...as they ignore what is in the mirror. And today, Bernie's healthcare plan is labelled with the same nonsensical lumping.

Chomsky was bullshitting, falsely denying his whitewash of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. You're easily duped by him. For the truth about his denial of Khmer Rougeo, see "Cambodian genocide denial," Wikipedia

[@Johnsmith99663]

The right turn already started before that (it began around 1970, and overcame New Deal Liberalism by 1978). The right turn will continue until there’s a mass democratic revolution.

[@Franz19970]

@@Johnsmith99663 I would say more about 1973 with Nixon's second term, though really exploded about 1980. That's the year I noticed Chomsky has been giving in his speech since he did a speech called 'the right turn' in the early 90s. Nader said it was Nixon's 2nd term. Whatever the case...some people deny it ever took place. Which seems like a hard thing to miss

[@Franz19970]

@@Johnsmith99663 The 70's were more stagnant mostly, reversal escalated in the 80s in US & UK. I agree 2nd point, things will keep getting worse without a mass organized revolt. The mass media (news, advertising, sports, entertainment etc) so far has done it's job in conditioning people last almost 50 years. The modern western propaganda system is by far most sophisticated in history. Has adapted well over the decades to changes, like the internet etc

[@robertstewart4953]

*Um...okay?...*

[@chadsimmons4496]

Define red pill? Because I hear Trumpers using that. Indeed, read 1984. Prophecy from a democratic socialist, warning about authoritarian dictatorships, not universal healthcare. Reaganomics uses it as a playbook. As it does with Animal Farm. Implied as an anti soviet fake news warning, as Reagan abolished the fairness doctrine and Clinton consolidated the MSM with the telecommunications act, but actually created the dogs (Hannity and Maddow) to propagandize for the pigs (RNC and DNC)...who are no different than Mr. Jones and the humans (Pentagon) anyway.

[@syourke3]

Yes, but they have the corporate mass media that is so adept at misleading the American people about everything. How many Americans are aware of Chomsky and what he is saying? Probably not that many. But consider all the Americans who take their news and information from FOX. Scary.

[@BartAlder]

Every now and then they'd trot someone out to give it a shot. That stopped a long time ago. He demolished a succession of right wing "intellectuals" early in his career of course. My all-time favourite is the neo-con Richard Perle who complained - after about an hour of being completely thrashed on every point - that Professor Chomsky seemed to have an answer for absolutely everything. It was surely intended as a snide criticism but given the punishment of the previous hour, that criticism came across as almost desperate, like the last gurgling wail of a drowning man's waterlogged argument.

[@PullingEnterprises]

Ignorance is a far greater enemy to virtue than anything else. Although there are not any people who rival Chomsky, the mass promotion of mass ignorance is something that rivals the very survival interests of the species. In a way, there is no one to rival Chomsky, but in another way, the rivalry is no longer humans and their messages, but the very channels of discourse themselves.

[@harrison2651]

@Bart Alder: In a 2003(?) Charlie Rose interview with Chomsky, Rose exclaimed the exact same thing after running through Chomsky's knowledge of U.S. international relations for an hour. It was less a criticism and more just acknowledgement of Chomsky's sheer transcendence.
