It was refreshing to hear an interviewer really interviewing someone. The questions were not meant to lead the one being interviewed into giving a predetermined, desired answer. The interviewee, Noam Chomsky, clearly described our political situation with among other things, the Democrats having abandoned the workers and the Republicans having nothing to offer except culture wars and attempting to stonewall any attempts by the Democrats to achieve reforms. This is meant to enable the GOP to say that the Democrats can not achieve anything while the country falls apart. Why does it take a FOREIGN news service to clearly speak the unvarnished truth and not our own?

Also I said he had a problematic opinion of Cambodia, not that he denied it. "What filters through to the American public is a seriously distorted version of the evidence available, emphasizing alleged Khmer Rouge atrocities and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role."

He's explained many times before he almost never uses the word "genocide" to refer to anything because to him the Holocaust was the ultimate example of a genocide and if it's not close to that then he calls them atrocities or war crimes. But so far I haven't seen any evidence that he has denied the existence of a genocide.

The greatest disparity of wealth between the rich and the poor in modern times occurred during the Obama administration, conversely the lowest unemployment rates for blacks and Hispanics in American history occurred during the Trump administration, and wages grew highest within the lowest wage earners. Now with president* Biden the gains for wages to the poor are being eradicated by the worst inflation in the United States in 40 years. As for abandoning parliamentarian politics it was Democrats who first failed to approve Reagan’s SCOTUS nominee Robert Bork based purely on politics, breaking 200 years of bipartisan appointment of qualified candidates. When the Republicans finally tried to return in kind it was the Democrats who first abandoned the filibuster when approving federal judges. Even now the bulk of Democrats support abandoning the filibuster entirely, but due to only two U.S. Senators have been unable to do so. Chomsky’s mind is crippled to the point of complete irrationality due to his bias against the United States and individual liberty.

What do we need political parties for? We are now in the internet era, candidates could run by themselves without a party behind them. We now have access to the candidates background and we can make a choice.

Both parties are to blame…..

This is overall a good interview, but the interviewer does exactly what Chomsky is saying cannot be done right now due to the intransigence of the Republicans, and that is say that both parties are equally responsible for today's problems. After Chomsky makes clear that Republicans intend to destroy the country, explicitly, the interviewer interrupts to say that Democrats are equally to blame. What can you do with that US "both-sides-ism" kind of thinking? Americans always seem to think that there are always two sides to culpability and that isn't always the case, certainly not with today's Republicans.

They have the right to have a voice and to represent the citizens that have that ideals. But the majority, dont let them be government. Both communists and fascists (texas), are noisy minorities that no one does coalition. Germany shows that we can make socialist+capitalist coalitions. Meanwhile in USA, both 2 parties are under black mail form the extremists of all sides to be able to reach the 50%+1.
