Global Democide Is Surely Not The Answer To True Liberation Or Freedom, Is True

It does appear to me that BOTH sides have been violating civil discourse.

The more you realize he manipulates people the more you realize he's a Marxist telling lies. Chomsky has always hidden in university, spouted anti-American, Anti-capitalism, subliminal-marxism lies. He's a linguist, but he's developed a cult following for kids who have yet to support themselves. His pablum sounds good for people who rather blame others for their situation that work to better theirs.

most academic talks and presentations are hardly watched 1000s of times let alone over 100,000..noam chomsky has a dedicated following on youtube..tht y he gets at least 100k views..noam is a youtube celebrity in his genre..

We live in an Orwellian world.

@Robert Castle Break out the popcorn the collapse shows will be amazing! It will make the fall of Rome look like child’s play!

Life goes on. But live, live Noam Chomsky I agree with.

Today I read an (single) assertion / assessment of 2021. The scientific research is there the scientist stated, but the consensus has to be the lowest common denominator agreed on by them all- but this one scientist broke rank, said 2021! Now I'm looking for the article again and it is gone. Maybe it was retracted because a part of it was not reliable / verifiable or something after all.

The sky is falling, “not “.

Well phrased.

2020 and now we're almost completely fucked.

Spot on dude;its clear that something has got to give in the forseeable future and can come in the form of everything from global economic collapse to Geological disasters to a Global Viral epidemic that wipes out 99,99% of all human beings and we"ve become so many now that even after that there will still be over 700,000 people left to repopulate the planet over time.Or since we"ve overstayed our welcome we might go extinct because Mother Earth needs to rest for a few hundred thousand years now.

4:22 "Creativity and innovation.. largely in the public system.. ". aaaaalright. So public == god. Private == evil. And cherry picking at it. And yes.. for the "victim" way of viewing the world, which Chomsky advocates, advertising is the culprit. People is not capacitated to make their own choices given the widely available information they can compare any time they want.. No.. we need to create a system were "lying" is forbidden. Everything we say has to be 100% "scientifically accurate", and with the seal of approval of the government.

@@inmundo6927 yes, imagine the tyranny of a world where everyone had to tell the truth? Is that what you're worried about?

​@@stretch8390 define "the truth". Yes. Im worried about that, because the truth (with imperfect information) depends largely on your point of view, experience, perspective, cultural background, chemical, biological background etc. So, putting restrictions to speech based on its level of "truthfulness"; is akin to denying freedom of speech altogether, and looks precisely like a tyranny. And, as science tells us, truth should not be determined beforehand by some outside authoritarian source of "rightfulness", but rather by the open discussion of all ideas.

​@@stretch8390 _Freedom is indivisible. As soon as one starts to restrict it, one enters upon a decline on which it is difficult to stop_ _If one assigns to the government the task of making truth prevail in the advertising of perfumes and toothpaste, one cannot contest at the right to look after truth in the more important matters of religion, philosophy and social ideology_ _The idea that business propaganda can force the consumer to submit to the will of the advertisers is spurious, advertising can never succeed in supplanting better or cheaper goods, available and offered for sale_ advertising is part of the costs of production (no difference between production and sales costs, all costs of production are expended with the intention of increasing demand). If it really were devoted to undermining markets, it would defeat its own purpose. But, from a linguistic point of view, it sounds better to place a label on a word such as "Advertisement" and relate it to some apocalyptic, prophetic description of a cataclysmic event, as in "the end of capitalism", which is the kinda speech Chomsky excels at (remember guys, Trump was gonna drop the bomb... no more bomb talk since Biden in office.. Chavez was good, now he is a State Capitalist since Venezuela took a turn for the worse, etc. .).

​@@stretch8390 lastly. Is is well known consumers can be irrational, which is why there are certain things where there should be a social consensus on how we deal with things, such as externalities like pollution, etc. But it does not give an entity beyond yourself, the right to decide for you what is "right", or "truthful" or "well intended", beyond what people around you can decide, when it comes to "portray an image" however way you choose, of whatever it is you want to advertise. Deciding for others how the advertising of your own property is supposed to be carried out, is not only insulting to the producer, but to the consumer. As though they couldn't know better what is best for themselves and the ones they care for. (Zappa puts it brilliantly in that court case, if you've ever seen it) . And if you care, those are the principles of democracy.

EVERY? Is the Communist Manifesto sold in EVERY?

@@owlnyc666 perhaps not “every”, but I have seen Chomsky, The Manifesto, and many more heavy intellectual books in a lot of common places in Cuba. Havana’s open air book fair is always popular. The average Cuban is much more highly educated - and skeptical of world affairs - than the average American, who is basically an ignoramus.

Cubans get a good education and healthcare, but nothing else, Castro was just another murderous communist dictator the majority of the people have no freedoms and live on canned beans and canned meat in poverty

@@vipermad358 Much of that has to do with the Republican party in the US which doesn't value education. This isn't true of all the areas of the US, the New England/New York region is among the most highly educated regions in the world, but the majority of the US basically gets screwed because of the culture of anti-intellectualism and cult-following; and, unfortunately, this isn't just on the "right" but also on the "left" of the political spectrum which is easily manipulated into supporting the interests of the Republican party with movements like Bernie or Bust, which was very popular in the Western US and swing state areas in the center.

And how is Cuba doing now? Stagnation, human suppression, constant reliance on donations from Western countries. It makes absolute sense that a Communist government would sell Chomsky’s books preaching a Communist message, especially from an American Communist. It’s one way to create propaganda to maintain control of the people. It’s the same thing that occurred when Chavez and Chomsky were holding hands, and Chavez promoting Chomsky’s book during a parliament meeting.

Explain it better, please. I know it, for at least 20 years, Capitalism is an Economic Slavery System.

lol! “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” Vladimir Lenin

Chomsky is one of the main reasons why I still feel confident identifying as “left,” because the last few years haven’t made it easy- the world in general seems to have lost its mind, but the almost pathological obsession with Trump is one of the most disheartening things, because there’s so much else to focus on. Chomsky has the right idea, he more or less ignores him, rightly so since the real decisions are always made behind the scenes. On the other hand it’s impossible to identify with the “right,” since the issues championed by the left - racism, social justice, etc. - are still very much alive, despite how the debate has been hijacked. You could almost suspect certain forces are interested in associating leftist issues with as much venom and ugliness as possible in order to discredit them, while subtly moving it away from the rational and humanitarian position of a Chomsky or Zinn (not to mention MLK and others). There may not be any easy answers, and the likelihood of things getting less contentious in the near future may seem pretty distant. But it might be useful to remember Chomsky’s underlying optimism that he always emphasizes after his sometimes dire projections, and hold on to the principles we know to be true, however they may be challenged or misappropriated.

Chomsky is the perfect example of an Echo Chamber

@skutch Blobaum Lobbying is just one of the aspects of corporativism. It only means that the State is using its power to favor a group of individuals at the expense of others. It is a problem stated both by left wing people like Noam Chomsky and by right wing people, especially libertarians. But the solution to that is vastly different: left wing believe that the powers of the State should be used to address these problems - more regulations and legislations, while some right wing believe that the State being too powerful is the very source of them. For instance, several policies adopted by banks are only possible by the existence of a Central Bank, like fractional reserve banking and its role as a lender of last resort. And several choices made by the state also backfire critically, like forcing banks to give loans to people with poor credit history or adopting negative interest rates - which is leading European banks to the brink of collapse. Bankruptcy is a natural part of Capitalism and it only means that production factors in an enterprise should be rearranged in another way. When the State doesn't allow that to happen, it only reinforces bad decision making and encourages more risk.

@@carlosfdz7807 It is typically written in their constitution, that there is a sort of crack down and prosecution of people who seek to use authority to oppress people in which ever form. Whether they hire workers or act racist or rob someone. Although historically the movements never became authoritarian but rather more anti-authoritarian as they continued to grow. Like in the CNT, there was a progressive push for womens equality, abolishion of money is some parts, and many other liberation movements that were able to sprout, increased worker control. The same could also be said for Rojava, which also is very different from the rest of the middle east, in which it is secular, treats people much better than other nations, no taxes, womens movement and participation. These genrally libertarian socialist societies tend to have a major flaw which is that they are always sprouted within war zones and power vaccums and tend to be crushed from the outside. But internally they function well.

@Dirk Knight You don't appeared to have listened to the lecture. Mr Chomsky makes it quite clear that the oligarchs are in no way Free Market Capitalists. They have captive markets they impose conditions on, your desires have almost no meaning to them.

such a dreamer.. 0 notion of economics and personal interest.. only "pretty thoughts". Problem is.. youd have to have the same interesnt in everybody else for this to hold true. Since you "prefer" some over others.. this is along way off. First step is to coming to terms with the fact you dislike some people, and some people dislike you. Are you force to loving them? Well, taht is what you propose here.. despite all proofs to the contrary. How are you going to raise the problem when someone did not "reciprocate" your love as expected?? Ill tell you how, its called "Free association".. and its the system which currently imperates. Money is only a medium of exchange for all that love. But it makes it "accountable", so we dont run into such problems of ambiguity (when it comes to the "sharing of love".. a unit devoid of any means of measurement).

Nope. Consumerism and energy consumption are not the problems. It is all sustainable. The best way to achieve more prosperity, is to get the poorest in the world to a level of mediocrity, approx $5000 per annum per head, as rapidly as possible. Then, and only then will these folk begin to think about the future instead of immediate survival. And that is how you save environmental resources, eliminate pollution, save wildlife etc...

Then answer is obvious : we love what we do, that's why e do it, and the result is our civilisation. I love our science and space exploration, I love our good music and art, and our ability to have a decent, sometime even fascinating life with the help of technology. I don't like our history but I love the fact that we study it. Etc. And to some extend we all do. Building a better life and assuring the survival of what we have build with our hard work will always be the preoccupation of people. One cannot change this. So the question is not if it should survive : fact is e want it to survive and we'll try to do it, so the question CAN IT SURVIVE is certainly interesting us. You may think if shouldn't survive, but there is no way you can get humanity agree on that. Even if you convince some people to stop willing to make it survive, it's probably because you convinced them that they need it to die to survive. Which can happen only by wrong argue.
