    I've noticed this in comment sections. So many glib, flippant, short posts all having more or less the same wording. You have to scroll and scroll to find a well-written thoughtful comment, especially one that challenges you to go research something that you hadn't thought of before. I always try to say thank you when I find those.

    “Anarchist: a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power. 2. : a person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy. especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order.” (Merriam Webster) NC has defined himself as *inspired by* anarcho-syndicalism (google it) but if you read one of his books and watch some of his talks he’s a minarchist (google it) like most Libertarian Socialists. They believe in minimizing role of State (govt) but see at least some central governance and consistent rule of law as necessary evils - esp in a now globalized geo political economy. Good reports now show big corps hold more financial power (plus geo political) then countries. Corps are prob the new State.

    For one, using Genitive Phonology built on Chomsky's linguistic insights, I refined a proposed alphabet for some Mayan dialects. They formerly had a writing system (not alphabetic), but it was lost at the time of the Spanish conquest. The dialect's alphabet is better for it. I have a few minor accomplishments within my limited areas of expertise. I am enough of an expert to judge Chomsky. His contributions are qualitatively superior to mine, to EVERYyone's! but, like me, within his area of expertise. Negligible outside it. I wish he would have stayed in his lane & contribute quantitatively as well as qualitatively. We mere mortals are left to slowly plod thrashing new trails he could have blazed. The world is poorer for it. (30 years later, field linguists in Siberia were still not using his theory.) His alternative use of his scarce resource, namely the Chomsky mind, was a poor economic decision for the rest of us. Hey, it was his mind, his time to spend. I hope he has no regrets.

And not to discredit everything he states, as he certainly makes notable points . The chomsky cult desperately needs to reflect.

    Come on Chomsky concision is just a communication principle of eliminating redundancy, such as using as few words as possible at the same time preserving the same meaning in a sentence.

    Completely misses the point. That doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a very useful propaganda technique. The format of the mainstream programming does NOT have to be structured the way it tends to be, with the expectations that it’s producers have. That structure doesn’t allow for more complex and/or heterodox information in the programming, and if/when that information clashes with people’s (learned, and often programmed) understanding or expectations, then it has less ability to penetrate, take root, and spread. That is very helpful to the status quo, whatever the subject or matter. That’s the point.

    Producers cater to advertisers first and foremost. It’s a communication principle for the media to further propaganda (again, to appeal to advertisers). The idea is that if there is media, then it *ought* to formulate organic dialogue without having to confine to rules for the purpose of deceiving. There’s no free press in the U.S. I’m not even on the left and I think there should be a channel with the level of corporate backing that discusses issues pertaining to the working population of the U.S. but we don’t have that. We have gossip and a few channels that hash and recycle news to keep the oil running for the banking and corporate cartels that rule over us.
