Liberalism can essentially take two forms: one where the state essentially serves no purpose other than to solve domestic disputes and deter potential attackers and one where the only function it takes in peoples lives is to ensure their survival and a level of relative comfort. Neoliberalism is neither of these things.

What does he act in?

Absolutely wonderful, and right on point, as usual. Thankfully, the interviewer lets him talk. For the interviewers that don't, Chomsky presents the dangerous query, "Do the facts matter?", which is prelude to a devastating avalanche of facts that follow. He is brilliant, never merely clever, refusing to cede ground as part of a more elaborate maneuver. Always he frames the issue properly from the start, then plows the mountain of relevant fact straight ahead to its logical conclusion.

Excelent interpretation !

well, I guess we now know how Steven Colbert will look like when he's old :p

Very simple but powerful distinction here: one has to differentiate the LOGIC of a reasoning (what Chomsky calls the "reasons" in this video) and the MEANS to achieve a vision (i.e. the decrease of state power in this case). The logic should always prevail in order to make meaningful comparisons between past and present. Chomsky nails it, "liberals" today are not classical liberals at all... they're just reformists of the weakest kind, advocating for a minimal welfare state. Conservatives are actually just walking contradictions: one the one hand they are the ultimate capitalist defenders (state capitalism included, see the subprime crisis & the joyfully accepted handouts) while ALSO BEING reactionary from a social perspective. That doesn't make any sense, because capitalism is by nature a destructor of culture and traditions. You can't at the same time advocate for child labor (hundreds of thousands of children worked in the "golden era" of booming capitalism) while also being keen on family values. That's just an example among many... we could almost pick every sphere of socialisation defended by the conservatives and see what are the effects of capitalism on it. In a word: utter destruction.

@@campfiresong Well, you're the one focusing on authoritarianism. My original comment was unrelated to it. I just pointed out, for the sake of argument, that different "authorities", modes or structures of authority can be opposed one to another. In this case, capitalism destroying most social structures and forms of socialization is just too obvious I don't even see a point in making an argument for it. At this point, it has just become a fact, and something that everyone agrees upon. When Karl Marx and especially Engels wrote about this more than a century ago, it may not have been so clear to all at the time. But in 2020, at the era of the society of spectacle, in which the very notion of marriage is challenged, the divorce rates are exploding, the family values are abandoned, education is either in the hands of the state or inexistent, and the list goes on and on... capitalism just seems to have made the very notion of family antiquated. You can have a go at this from any point of view: sociological, historical, moral, etc...

Chomsky is like a detective. He dissects history, definition, linguistics, as effective and accurate as an open heart operation churgian team.

I had the exact same issue with The Limits of State Action. I felt that as Humboldt talked about the negatives of positive welfare of the citizen he knew not of the capitalist world we would end up living in and didn't realize this welfare was the only way of distributing that power. I absolutely agree with his perception for the role of the state but only after the dismantling of capitalism and the liberation of the proletariat.

Socialism and communism are the same thing, workers social or common ownership of the means of production. Marx, for example, used the two terms interchangeably. Don't be fooled by what authoritarians call themselves, it's what they do that defines them. Russia, for example, was no more communist than East Germany was a democracy. "Communism aims at a society where classes have been abolished as a result of common ownership of the means of production and distribution. It teaches that only in a classless, solidaric commonwealth can man enjoy liberty, peace and well-being." Emma Goldman, Russian Anarchist "As a matter of fact, there is no Communism in the U.S.S.R. Not a single Communist principle, not a single item of its teaching is being applied by the Communist party there." Emma Goldman, Russian Anarchist "Indeed, in my opinion, nothing has contributed so much to the corruption of the original idea of Socialism as the belief that Russia is a Socialist country and that every act of its rulers must be excused, if not imitated. And so for the past ten years I have been convinced that the destruction of the Soviet myth was essential if we wanted a revival of the Socialist movement." George Orwell “Anarchism is really a synonym for socialism. The anarchist is primarily a socialist whose aim is to abolish the exploitation of man by man” Daniel Guerin "The movement was “divided into two factions; the communistic anarchists and the Proudhon or middle-class anarchists.” - The Autobiographies of the Haymarket Martyrs, p. 81 “If the left is understood to include ‘Bolshevism,’ then I would flatly dissociate myself from the left. Lenin was one of the greatest enemies of socialism.” [Marxism, Anarchism, and Alternative Futures, p. 779]
