French thinker-surgeon Henri Laborit maintained that: ‘Modern man finds himself alone, isolated, lost in a monstrous socio-economic machine whose mechanisms he doesn’t understand. But what is the most incomprehensible is how, locked in the rigid, impersonal yoke of his daily grind, of his measured automatisms, having no time to think or even to rave in delirium, he can still believe that he is free. His concept of liberty is itself the consequence of a cultural automatism inculcated in him early by society to avoid his suicide, or revolt, to make him think that the choice was his.’ That’s the real Hell for intelligent adults, not the one spread about by the fear-mongering Christian churches.

When you write "Chomsky's ideas" what are you saying? When Chomsky talks "politically theory", he nearly always cites his sources. In this area, he's not so much creative and inventive - as in other areas - as he's well read. Best of all, because Chomsky cites his sources, we can always check what he says. When Chomsky has referred to "democracy" he not infrequently cited Aristotle work "Politics", the granddaddy in the western world on democracy (versus, say, Plato's totalitarian regime of "philosopher kings"). And, the US founding fathers were educated in the Greek classics, nearly the only thing read in formal schools at the time. Thus, they were also acquainted with Aristotle. The US founding fathers, as did Aristotle, realised you can't have a democracy with a lot of poverty and few wealthy. The solution, according to Aristotle is, what we call today, the "welfare state". That was Aristotle. The US founding fathers took the opposite approach, as US first Supreme Court Justice John Jay said, "the people who own the country ought to govern it", or James Madison who said, the primary goal of government is "to protect the opulent minority against the majority". In real way, what we call democracy isn't so much a thing but a process, an ongoing struggle from the bottom up, from the people ever since the constitutional convention. Recall, immediately after the constitutional convention only land-owning rich white males were allowed to votes in most states, although in other states you could pay to vote without owning land.

Every political system works, capitalism, democracy, communism, socialism etc, it stops working when there is too much corruption, incompetence and misinformation, where people ignore, don't care or are swayed from reality, when it becomes too tyrannical or too permitting, a balance is required in all situations, it is when the balance shifts, everything collapses, slowly or catastrophically.

Travelling with a friend in Albania 1993 we found 80% of the people stick-thin, starving. On the verge of famine. Living in Greece 74 to 84 I heard endless stories of torture & injustice from the times of the Junta stretching back into the Civil War & the Second World War. Born 1942 I was bombed losing Uncles to the War or they survived injured physically, mentally. My mother died when I was two years ten months as an indirect result of the war.

Originalism means that the only rights and policies that are protected are ones that are explicitly laid out in the constitution, conforming with the “original”intentions of the founders. Although slavery has been abolished, the property that is central to the Constitution-private property, the right to exploit the majority for the benefit of the tiny minority remains.

This is how someone like Charles Prince, who used to be the CEO of Citibank manages to get $68 million and a job as a financial advisor after nearly bankrupting the company .

Chilling truth of human existence in no matter what system we live.

The questionable Electoral College plays a large part such as making the majority vote getter irrelevant.

The Electoral College was created because the Founders could not have created the country without it. The states with smaller populations would have refused to join without assurance of full representation, to protect their citizens from being bulldozed by "tyranny of the majority". It persists to this day for the same reason, the smaller states will not ratify an amendment to abolish it.

Great video, thanks! Chomsky is an extraordinary philosopher and his insights make me speechless. I have nothing to add, I just wish more people could understand this.

Since I was just 19 that’s how I kind of understood the world that I live in and made my way through in it

Thank you for that easy and simply understandable explanation of his deep works! Most explainer vids on Chomsky are more difficult that his works themselves.

Most people in the "developed" world are far too comfortable to care. Keep the serfs entertained and marginally comfortable and you can rule without opposition.

Dear Mr Chomsky, I have written a persuasive essay that I would be honored to have you read. Please feel free to incorporate any or all of it's talking points into your presentations. Here it is: The Twin Parallel Rails Organizing Society There are two continuums that run side by side like train tracks that don’t cross over each other but together carry a society either to a destination of positive collaborative fulfillment or to the opposite destination of negative self-centered separation. Rail 1. Governance. Democratic Socialism vs Corporate Socialism: a primer. We are all socialists. Humans require society for survival. Socialism is all governance. Governance is the type of gov. tax appropriations, gov. regulations and the direction of gov. agencies. It is a continuum. It goes from Democratic Socialism which is spending tax monies and having policies for the benefit of all those who actually contribute to the tax pool and represent the vast majority of the population, to Corporate Socialism which is spending tax monies and making gov. policies for the benefit of the corporate interests of the 2%, many of which pay little or no taxes and brag about gaming a system they have bought and influence with their ever exponentially increasing wealth. This is a nasty feedback loop that leads us to a state of economic serfdom and ultimately to gated communities for these same people who caused this situation, with their insatiable greed machine of lobbyists and swinging door appointments leading from corporate boardrooms to government agencies and administrations and back again. Rail 2. Economics The second parallel rail/continuum of societal organization is the agreed upon Mode of Economic Exchange which ranges from Capitalism that encourages the individual profit motive, to Communism which says we must share the profits of our labors. Communism has never existed except as an idea. It has historically been implemented as a rallying cry to disaffected people in rebellions against minority rule, but once the new batch of rulers took power they quickly and logically reverted to their own individual capital interests, which in a society governed by Democratic Socialism would be just fine, but instead though, they quickly diverted themselves to the greed interests of the top 2% by adopting extreme Corporate Socialism to become Oligarchs and Fascists. Just look at the brutal suppression where these rebellions took place in the societies of Russia, China and North Korea for example. Actual Communism has only existed in some local communes of people dedicated to the concept, but they only last a short time because they are inefficient at meeting the individual needs and aspirations of its members beyond those who are totally committed to that group. The idea of Communism persists because it is used as a Canard by the top 2% in most all societies. A 'Canard' is a spurious idea presented by someone to provide an excuse for motives that would otherwise be revealed as being for their own selfish ends. It’s a diversionary tactic and smoke screen rolled into one. Communism is held up and used as a 'Canard' by both those who promote the interests of the Corporate Socialists in countries with democracies like the United States, where it is presented as being a bogeyman that will lead them all down the path of 'socialism' and 'communism', to its use by the so called ‘Communist States’, where it is held up by their 'Communist Party' leaders who want to hide their actual oligarchical, fascist intentions from their masses by presenting it as a Utopian ideal to which they must all sacrifice their individual desires. Either way, the end result is the same, with the canard idea of Communism being used to cajole and control the majority into serving the interests of the few. Capitalism’s ability to motivate people into a commerce of ideas, services and products with profits that address individual needs is the only mode of monetary exchange that makes efficient sense. Only you know what you desire and aspire too. Even ‘Communist’ countries use Capitalism but only to the extent the ruling party members permit, in so far as it promotes the wealthfare of the top 2%. There the Corporate Socialist extremists dominate those societies with an iron fist; as seen in China, Russia and North Korea. Rail #1 ‘Governance’ final thoughts Democratic Socialism as governance plus Capitalism for economic exchange equals a society that builds itself up for the betterment of all its members by spending their tax dollars and government policy on national health care, a clean environment, education, timely infrastructure spending, retirement insurance, etc. for all its citizens. The Scandinavian countries and most of Europe and the Commonwealth countries come to mind. Whereas Corporate Socialism as governance, plus Capitalism for economic exchange = a society like ours - The United States; that has government policies, tax money appropriations, regulations, laws, and judicial and agency appointments increasingly designed to shunt money to the top 2% of its citizens; leaving us with no National Health Care, a shrinking middle class, a growing class of unhealthy uninsured working poor, and also with a disproportionate tax burden favoring the wealthy, a deteriorating environment for the short term gain of investors in some industries, and a crumbling infrastructure to avoid any legislation requiring additional taxation of the 2%. Also, it has led us to bogus foreign wars for corporate profit with the resulting deaths of American youths to benefit the shareholders in the Military Industrial Complex, as with Halliburton’s corporate investors and their ilk. The logical conclusion of Corporate Socialism at its extreme endpoint is to shift rule from Democracy to rule by Oligarchy (rule by a few) and Fascism (combining a central dictator), with them foremost always representing the financial interests of the top 2%. In these so called ‘Communist States’, this is combined with threats of military and police force to the citizenry, so they fear their governments readiness to deploy against them for any serious internal challenges they may pose to their rule, as is found in Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Belarus, Cuba and a number of other countries. The interests of the Corporate Socialists are routinely promoted by the top 2% under the guise of patriotic duty and endless flag waving. This perversely manipulates the community’s natural tribal instinct to rally together, while both hiding the greedy intentions of the 2% and steering the rest of the population to serve those interests. This dominance of the short-sighted greed lust of Corporate Socialism in both the Democracies and in the so called 'Communist States' is leading us to a diminishing quality of life, and an inability to make positive adaptive change. This is causing ever increasing societal chaos with uncontrolled desperate migration, a burgeoning global population and environmental degradation. The Societies of our planet need to work towards establishing truly representative Democratic Socialism in order for us to avert disaster and to coordinate our place on Earth in a manner that will sustain a good life for all our species and ecosystems. Everyone, we have got to get it together using Democratic Socialism combined with Capitalism. War, disease and misery are not necessary management tools.

One of my smart friends said I should check into chompy because he thought I would like him. I saw a few vids and didn't really agree with those. Now I see what he was talking about! I quit voting 8 years ago. People want me to vote, but what they mean is they want me to choose a side of the two party dictatorship. Not doing it.

Capitalism, in fact, is always crony capitalism. Capitalism without a nefarious nexus with governments simply does not exist. Rather, from a Marxist point of view, State and all its organs, are just the instruments of capitalism. Therefore, Chomsky is not confusing capitalism with crony capitalism. Capitalism is destined to be crony capitalism where State can never function independently. It is bound to protect the interests of capitalists.

He's right to a point !!! But if every registered voter was active in running for office, in the primary process, and general election for 2 midterm elections and 2 general election in a row, the American people could change the system to where every American would benefit and could purge corporations & big money out of our elections and was that are passed !!!

It sounds so real in our context in India as well. The goodness of democracy is not universal... True

It isn’t just the USA. It’s most of the world.

Noam said that unvaccinated (c19) people needed to be separated from society, and how they obtained food, was THEIR problem. That is an irrefutable, statement he did make. The interview when he said it, is available in it's entirety, lest anyone thinks I'm stating something 'out of context'. If my bringing this up, hurts your feelings, ha! Too bad.

Thank you

I believe it was Edward Bernal’s who first came up with the term “Engineering consent” in his 1955 book. Pretty much the same concept on how to manipulate the masses.

Politicians are puppets

_"Inventing Reality"_ by Micheal Parenti, is supposedly better than _"Manufactured Consent"_

Chomsky is right, as usual, but the world he advocates is still impossible, and will be impossible for a long time to come. The problem is not only with the wealthy people, but also with anyone who sees money as a goal instead of a tool. This includes pretty much every wealthy people, but also most of the poor people, and many middle class citizens. When the great majority of the population focuses its thoughts on (or identify with people who have) fame, power and/or wealth and the happiness they supposedly bring, the system we have is the system we deserve.
