Class warfare is the permanent condition of capitalism. The economic functional dynamic is one that leads to inevitable periodic crisis due to the dependence on the profit motive and hoarding wealth in few hands combined with overproduction. The wealthy class needs to extract more value out of the salary and therefore to a class conflict. That conflict don't stop as we are witnesses of the increasing need of the capital to take more from the standard of living of the immense majority. It can't stop . The wealthy is sociopathic as an owner of the means of production. Capital ism is sociopathic and is in permanent war between the salary and the profiting. When the periodic crisis and depressions are more intense and repetitive the dominant class confronts an experienced working class and more and more sense of identity. Fascism is the ultimate decision to crush the resistance of the assault on the working class standards of living with the income provided. Fascism is the dysfunction itself intrinsic to Capital ism sociopathic dominant class but taken to the extreme and even a sign of the wealthy class failure to make this system work and it's incapacity to fix its contradictions with society. In forcing the same system on society it makes it more explosive and brutal. Fascism is ultimately a consequence and proof of the obsolete condition of capitalism.

That's the thing about societal catastrophes, we are warned that is is coming and most people see that it is coming, and the majority still refuse to acknowledge that it is coming. We were put on this road 40 - 70 years ago, and at every step big brains like Chomsky and Wolff have told us a thousand times where this road leads.

Regardless of how partially correct he may sound with others to care about similarly minded issues. Failure to meet demands placed on the confines of logic and illogic combined, only breeds the right uncertainty which forms aimless and personally manipulated veracity, required to assume wild, yet consistent conclusions with fervor.

You'd rather the US fall to fascism than vote Democrat.

Year after year, Noam Chomsky continues to keenly observe & analyze the state of domestic & international events. He is rare, precious gift.

The complementary problems with democracy are that 1) the skill set needed to win the election to get the job, is not the skill set needed to actually do the job, and 2) the voters need the skill set to properly elect the person with the right skill set for the job. Technology, such as social media, is further widening the gap. In Book Six of The Republic, Plato describes Socrates falling into conversation with a character called Adeimantus and trying to get him to see the flaws of democracy by comparing a society to a ship. If you were heading out on a journey by sea, asks Socrates, who would you ideally want deciding who was in charge of the vessel? Just anyone or people educated in the rules and demands of seafaring? The latter of course, says Adeimantus, so why then, responds Socrates, do we keep thinking that any old person should be fit to judge who should be a ruler of a country? Socrates’s point is that voting in an election is a skill, not a random intuition. And like any skill, it needs to be taught systematically to people. Letting the citizenry vote without an education is as irresponsible as putting them in charge of a trireme sailing to Samos in a storm. Possible way to fix democracy: 1) Have independent, objective, non-partisan, annual performance review reports done by CPA firms, that are open to the public. 2) At least a passing grade is needed in mandatory testing to make sure voter understand who/what they are voting on, before eligible to cast vote. Proof of voting gets an income tax benefit. Failure to vote will carry some type of financial penalty, based on income and asset level.

I think the best idea is city-states without a military, where people can vote with their feet to their favorite city government although there is still a problem of city-states coordinating with each other.

Two of our civilizations great minds. Thank you Dr. Chomsky, you are amazing, a true genius and role model.

The words thank you seem so inadequate in expressing my gratitude to this man.

Rather than Chomsky's allusion to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, which actually took several centuries, the Weimar Republic, Germany's fragile and bold experiment in representative democracy, collapsed in the interregnum between the First and Second World War (1919-1933). That seems to be a more appropriate historical analogy in our digital era where profound change in society occurs with the speed of fiber optics in the social media. We have high inflation, not yet hyper as in the Weimar Republic. That was the final blow to democracy for Germany. But I must admit I'm a pessimist having served as a medical corpsman in Vietnam. The fall of Saigon in April, 1975, began our decline as a democracy and was not unlike the humiliation Germans felt with their defeat in the First World War; and the genesis of neoliberalism gained steam with a counter-revolution from Reagan and Thatcher soon after that and it has hallowed out the middle class to the breaking point. You simply can't have a democracy with a small and unstable middle class. "Our society and economy is no longer progressing but regressing," as Professor Joel Kotkin predicted in his great history book, "The Coming Neo-Feudalism." So neo-feudal fascism, perhaps, is what the future holds for us? And this would be, as Professor Kotkin points out, a global neo-feudalism. Look at how European democracies have collapsed, such as Hungary and Poland, and more are collapsing since these sanctions against Russia have boomeranged against nations in NATO and EU. We're on the verge of a Third World War.

@rickb3650

Жыл бұрын

The "fall" came much earlier. The Vietnam war itself, as the Korean war before it, was a symptom of collapse. The changes in the U.S. toward the end and following WWII were actions and reactions to the struggle that was happening here and around the world long before either world war and that continues today. History is not a set of separate events delineated by dates in a book, it's more like an ocean, it has currents that ebb and flow constantly, and what happens that we see effects it in places and ways which we don't. Economically, there's no such thing as Middle Class, there's only class. Two, to be specific. What we labeled as Middle Class was an anomaly (briefly) created when great wealth was shared a little more equally across a larger number of people, and that happened when circumstances gave labor some power to demand its due. We produce even more wealth today yet the power to distribute it more equally has been taken away.

I would disagree with Chomsky that no state/combination of states would be able to compete with the US militarily. 1) The US has war gamed both a war with Russia and with China over Taiwan and they found every time that the US and NATO lose, and lose badly. 2) A recent RAND article points out the because of severe US de-industrialization, the US simply cannot field armies necessary to win wars with other major industrial powers. We see evidence of this with the arms we've shipped to Ukraine, which has depleted 1/3 of our HIMARS ammo, along with javelins, etc. The Ukrainians have asked for more tanks than are even in the combined armies of the UK and Germany! 3) When was the last time we actually won a war? It seems US military power is severely overrated.

meh. we flattened Iraq in about a week. Our problem is we fight wars with our hands tied behind our backs. That won't be the case with Russia or China. Of course I believe they are hoping the Ukraine Russia war will result in Putins demise hopefully to be replaced with a pro western leader. This would seriously hurt China as well. There are many ways to win and not all are militarily.

When we get spanked by the Russians and/or Chinese you will be one of many millions who are shocked, but then who scream for use of nukes.

Mr. Chomsky had it right years ago when he pointed out that the two parties are de facto one party of big money. Why he is now framing his conversation in ways that promote the Democratic Party I can not fathom. What America needs is a mass supported party of socialism. What holds Mr. Chomsky back from stating and urging that fact?

The problem though is that freedom of speech also requires corresponding integrity and a responsible public presentation of information. America is being torn apart by bad faith arguments (and that's a very dignified term for what is just a blizzard of self-serving excrement being spewed out). Freedom of speech also requires that the public don't fall back on partisanship, or worse...cultism and reactive violence. There are two 'very slippery slopes': censorship and self-serving propaganda.

This isn't true. He has argued consistently that Republicans and Democrats have historically been two wings of the same unified big business party and that their policies and interests are basically the same, advocating for different industries, but being only superficially indistinguishable from each other. You don't have to like/support Democrats to recognize that the Republican Party has changed in the past decade, and that one is significantly more dangerous than the other. Also, the Propaganda Model itself provides a damning critique of supposedly left-leaning publications like the NYT, so it surprises me that people consider him a liberal apologist

Why bite the hand that feeds you? Publishes and popularizes your writings and theories? Challenges others to pay attention and glorify the individual whose ideas, if held by the masses, produces external social benefits? The truth is antithetical to democracy. Chomsky either knows full well what he is doing, or full well how to take advantage of outside handout. The will of some people will forever be ignored or that is the risk we run together by choosing to allow others, dictatorial control over opinion. Currently, the conservative position is not allowed to be held, deemed to be unworthy by the current plurality of the culture who was taught to ironically, cherish, not destroy. Everything is backwards, but not to to everyone. The more that real, normal, everyday humans continue to provide vigilante services in the name of the cause, the closer to the edge we stand, United in reality together. Don’t listen to anyone who seeks division as a constructive approach to solving problems.

Interesting to hear what these gents have to say; even though I disagree that a) the GOP and not democrats have ruined the country and b) that more government is the solution. History has so often showed that when government gets out of the way the people and the economy can prosper.
