KbcBerlin For people who support or cannot bear to examine the things he speaks out against (basically the abuse of power by great powers) calling him a liar or a self hating jew or some other such nonsense has been their only retort . How is it that someone who is considered one of the great intellectuals of the 20th - 21st century on linguistic and political thought and structure is never brought on CNN or ABC or any of the mainstream media when there is some big events happening to give his opinion , never . Why is that , because he speaks TRUTH to power and that can't be allowed . Sheep need to be kept in the pen .

Eddie Bernays i dont discount your main point about chomsky, that he makes obvious remarks about the ills of american capitalism - im sure chomsky himself might agree with this. not sure about your corn maze analogy, i have been to Laos and saw the devastation wrought on the population and mountains there by US bombs, which was confirmed by locals themselves.

7kurisu I don't doubt that bombs were dropped there. but Chomskys 'comments can be found here www.democracynow.org/blog/2013/5/23/video_jeremy_scahill_noam_chomsky_on_secret_us_dirty_wars_from_laos_to_yemen_to_pakistan. The bit Im referring to starts when He is first given the mike, through till about 3: 00 He recounts how Fred Branfman told him that a 'high offical' had told HIM that the reason why the US was bombing the bejesus out of Northern Laos, by Chomskys estimate a ''peasant society at best' was that the US was currently (at that time) in a cessation of bombing Vietnam, was that 'we had all these planes and nothing to do with them, so we will bomb Laos'.... Chomsky concludes this anecdote by saying that 'OK, I think that’s the lesson of history that we should bare in mind in reading Jeremy’s exposures'. Thats IT ! That this passes for intellectual rigour in either estimating the causation back then, or in the recounting of this today to lend credence to Scahills personal beliefs that the US invades for no other reason than it can, is typical of the misplaced reverence that people Chomsky. I have no doubt that underhanded things happen in all wars, but as an alleged polymath, and '...one of the great intellectuals of the 20th - 21st century on linguistic and political thought and structure..; no less, his contributions here are not even amateur, they are fire side chats with two disaffected uncles whinging about 'whats wrong with the world' and relying on nothing more than personal axes to grind an OTHER PEOPLES hearsay.

listening to these.two democratic titans I can't help feeling hopeless, insofar as their respective analysis of the absolute and insidious dominance of corporate power seems to overshadow by far both Noam's (I think nostalgic) belief in the potential of workers to assume ownership and Chris's (more cynical) call for revolution... I would like to say, however, at the risk of pissing some of my fellow commentators off, that I think it does no good to fetishize how smart these and other people like them are -- that just distances you from what they are recommending you do! -- rather I suggest lauding their character and responding (in every sense of the word) to their formidable insights and commitment.

A rare treat - two of my favourite public intellectuals. Both men I admire and respect for their courage, their willingness to speak the plain truth about the nature of Power and the dangerous historical moments we are all living through. Both are powerful advocates of revolt in an age where revolt is as unthinkable as its necessity is universal. Chris Hedges has a tremendous wisdom and exudes a muscular humanity combining moral authority with personable humility. He would have made a terrific minister - but making a much better revolutionary, is almost the personification of the ethical and moral force of mass insurgency. Chomsky on the other hand I love. As simple as that. He's like a grandfather figure now, and I have learned much from this tireless dissident over many years. Just goes to show, somewhat ironically perhaps - anarchists make, and always have made, great and timelessly inspirational leaders. from Durruti to Orwell and beyond. Chomsky and Hedges are in the end just part of a venerable tradition - one which shapes history. Remember History? It's up to us to make it happen.

This is why you never see Chomsky in the media: Hedges: "...what's the new paradigm for resistance? How do we learn from the old and confront the new? Chomsky 02:09 "The people driven into the system regarded it as an attack on their personal dignity..." 04:15 "...enormous movement of farmers who wanted to free themselves from..." 06:30 "...the British were desperate to get the Americans into the war with a pacifist population, Woodrow Wilson won the 1916 election..." 08:27 "...free from the roar and the trampling of the bewildered herd, the ignorant and meddlesome outsiders..." 11:02 "...out of that comes the huge public relations industry, massive industry dedicated to this, indecently it's also dedicated to undermining markets..." 12:51 "...so if you've gone to all the good schools you have instilled into you the understanding..." 14:38 "...at one point the US Southern Command which ran..was overseer of these actions gave instructions to the terrorist force..." 16:15 "...we have to compare the blood and misery poured in with the success of the outcome in producing democracy..." Concluded at 17:36 without even addressing the question. Hedges tries to redirect him, asking him what workers can do *today* to regain control of production since all our manufacturing has been exported overseas and he launches into a tirade about fracking and damage to the environment. When he attempts to give examples of workers taking control of industry, his example is of a failed attempt of workers to own a coal mine, then talks about Walmart workers organizing but not taking ownership of the company. He then tries to make the case that if government develops a technology, all future improvements should then be owned by the government (WTF??). This guy has no new ideas but simply mines old territory that's not relevant to our current challenges.

No, sorry, this isn't the reason we don't see him 'in the media'. Countless others, not least of all our politicians, are far more guilty of question evasion, and with Chomsky, if he evades a question he at least says something substantive in its place. The failure of the initiatives you mention is not proof that these are not the right approaches. Rather they just didn't go far enough or gather enough broad-based, active support. We often think that the only ideas that will work are the ones that are the newest - but this is a fallacy born out of economic mythology from the industrial revolution to silicon valley.

Chomsky, as usual, shows his fabulous knowledge about world and human affairs, current and historic, but seems to have a rather optimistic view of what may happen, …if only…. He uses too many words like "could", or "may"; that is, he recognizes the possibility of "significant" change (for the better), but seems to ignore the probabilities that those things will happen. Also, he often speaks past the questions posed to him, going off into a long discourse not quite pertinent to the questions posed. Maddening to me.

Most of the content of the interview is not new or surprising. Its power exceeds because these are two of the most credible people on the planet, at least that I know of.

3:39 'craftsman vs a wage earner. Selling what you make vs selling yourself....which is deeply offensive.They condemned the New Spirt Of The Age " Gain wealth for getting (it ) all but loosing (one's ) self" Nowadays we've been taught to see ourselves as a part of a larger machine. We have a "newtonian parts mentality" so we're all just cogs in a wheel. Love The Naom. Wish I had more time. Brilliant.

Does anyone know where I might gain access to history texts about the mid to late 19th century labour movements and such things? That history is entirely unfamiliar to me!

A history of America in Ten Strikes by Erik Loomis is a good place to start surveying US labor history. American labor has always faced a more violent and forceful opposition from owners and state than many of our European counterparts. What's surprising to see today, is how vibrant and widespread the labor movement was. And how total and intentional it's destruction was. But I have hope, especially with our teachers and nurses in the current labor movement. People seem to be waking up again.
