natagaima I am sure you are both right, however we can listen and learn and then perhaps take that knowledge and begin a party of like-minded individuals and run our own candidate

The problem is that not enough people have LISTENED to Chomsky for the last 65 years! And in particular not enough US Americans. If they had the US would not have been the moronic state it is today!

Well as Norm might say, 'there are many reasons for myself and others being ignored.'

Mr. Chomsky bases so much of his arguments on Madison statement on the Senate which he is misrepresenting the conceptual understanding of what Mr. Madison was saying and whom he was saying it too. He was in the assembly talking to State or at that time colony leaders. It was the discussion of the Senate, and he was discussing the balance of power. He made reference to an incident in which people were given equal vote and they voted to take all the land from landholders. This occurred in England. This was one of the possibilities Colony leaders most feared. We were trying to put together a nation and ensuring that the Government would address the pitfalls of History. Mr Chomsky portrays it as men in power finally telling what we all knew to be the case power in the hands of the wealthy. He also uses the comparison of Socrates and Jefferson. Greece full Democracy only lasted for a short period 185 years and in that time where removed from power and got power back so that it is not a continual ruling. It also did not include all people only the citizens. The US is now way past this. Jefferson was right. Like JFK said of Nobel Laureate dinner "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Chomsky other herring in twisted truth comes from Adam Smith quote however this is taken out of context in the over all theme of the chapter. The Chapter Book III, Chapter III "Of the Rise and Progress of Cities and Towns, after the Fall of the Roman Empire" Here in lies the quote. The Chapter mainly deals wih the progess of cities and town and where progress was made. In it he talks of trade and merchants enabling Barons or any land owner for that matter to trade his surplus which he would have otherwise given to the surrounding families whom he bought support in times of need such as John Cameron of Lochiel whom had small wealth but could be bring an army of 745 men to bear in the cause of Stewart. Again the quote is out of context only the master of mankind (no Capital not identifying a select group) which factually I thinks was said of more jest as there were communist and anarchists of maybe another name in that time also. Adam Smith in closing the Chapter says the following. "In commercial countries, therefore, riches, in spite of the most violent regulations of law to prevent their dissipation, very seldom remain long in the same family.Among simple nations, on the contrary, they frequently do without any regulations of law, for among nations of shepherds, such as the Tartars and Arabs, the consumable nature of their property necessarily renders all such regulations impossible." Chomsky is a anarcho-syndicalist who believes that somehow with a collective will,devoid of all the “dark” personality traits that has plague man for thousand of years, form a large commune of utopia. Examples of Spain and the total blood bath that was or other more small failure of civilization all but dismissed. What has been done to change the soul of man. What civilizing principle has held man in check to form what we have today.. In the end all governments, communes, countries families or kibbutzim are formed by the building block of the individual. The Individual whom bears the death of Able, whom in any minute just shy of barbarism and whether in Fancy hats or Cadillacs is one degree from Hammurabi Code.

Requiem for the American Dream = 4 year degree in uni for LA.

10:00 Please only the 5 minutes lecture!

That restroom joke bombed but i appreciated it

Dr. Chomsky, how can you reconcile your support for mechanisms of regulations with your advocacy of libertarianism which seeks to undo power-wielding institutions?

ChicagoTurtle1 Dammit man think about your question! I have heard his and others answer to it many times, and it's quite obvious when you consider it. Think chronology combined with practicality. Emphasis on think.

When will there be a book on this subject?

He's written many books on this subject. I must have read 10 of them. this movie focuses on his basic views on american domestic politics.

Those of us who have access to Netflix streaming can now see the most penetrating analysis of America today by one of this country’s greatest and most clear-sighted intellects: Prof. Noam Chomsky. Viewing this commentary will lift the the sleep from our eyes and the fog from our brains. If you wish to see and understand where things now stand, you owe it to yourself to see, as soon as possible, “Requiem for the American Dream.” You’ll be happy and heartened to wake up and see the light. Here’s the trailer: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rH2Tq81wf9PWdaw.html
