An external enemy (it could be Russia, China, terrorism, communism, migration, drugs, etc), and an internal one (the press, other political parties, etc).

He’s not popular with the Democratic Party, either. The closest he has come to supporting is a “lesser evil” argument. He doesn’t equate the two, because there are differences (though not those that they often pretend to have) but he talks about the “the two party leadership and their financial backers” because of the substantial overlap 1:00:38

I’ve sent this to everybody I know and tell everybody I made about it because it seems like too many people do not understand the truth of what’s going on and this is a good crash course to get them started. I am so grateful to Noam Chomsky.

LOL A, ' crash course ', in Economics from a Linguistics Professor who has never held a job outside academia? Yeah anyone who actually believes that Chomsky knows what he is talking about here, will certainly, ' crash ', into reality later on! :-D @melvinboekholt1540 , Glad to explain for everyone’s benefit: I never denied that Chomsky’s recitations of data were accurate by themselves. But-Chomsky’s ability to do so does NOT make him qualified to properly understand or judge these fields he is talking about (Outside Linguistics). So If Chomsky accurately recites last Season’s pro football stats, then does that make Chomsky qualified to judge the performance of the players & coaches on the field, or be an NFL coach himself? See how ridiculous that reasoning is?? And btw, Chomsky conveniently omits that fact that, ‘ current day reality ‘, somehow enabled he himself to garner a multi-million dollar fortune himself: www.wealthypersons.com/noam-chomsky-net-worth-2020-2021/ So now hopefully this makes the truth clear of how ridiculous it is to believe that Chomsky genuinely understands a topic simply because he has the ability to recite, and, ‘ ‘ analyze ‘, accurate data about it! -You’re Welcome! 🙂

​​​@@dvlefttrite generalization. Chomsky is way behind in technology. He still thinks people don't read books despite the introduction of e-readers decades ago. And apparently smartphones are just 'toys'. Shall we ask people from developing countries about that, because they're revolutionizing their economies. You can do *so much* with a smartphone now. Chomsky's conception of advertising is also shockingly naive. Apparently there were no adverts at ball games when he was a child. Can we just check that real quick? That's the most easily demonstrable of Chomsky's many false generalizations, but somehow I doubt it will be. I venture my memory of advertising is more reliable, and it always followed public tastes, not the other way around. When this grand scheme was supposed to have hatched (in the 1950s), appliances were essentially industrial-grade, and were expected to last decades. Commercials actually made a virtue of how economical consumables were. The only reason things became more disposable since was to reduce prices, and again, that's on the consumer, looking to the bottom line.

LOL You do realize that Chomsky himself became a multi-millionaire via the very same For Profit Corporate Capitalist System that he loves to bash so much, and that enabled Chomsky to achieve his own American Dream! Which makes Chomsky a ridiculous hypocrite, who should never be compared to truly heroic figures such as MLK or Ghandi! 😀😀😀

The wage system is the way wealth is transferred from the bottom 90% to the upper 10%. Of course, there are gradations within the upper 10%. Noam kind of promotes the notion that once upon a time the bottom 90%, the working class, lived in a democracy. But the working class has never ruled the State. They rule no States. Noam is pretty much right about most things he speaks about. As he points out, the bourgeois owners of most of the wealth rule. They are the ruling class. The class struggle is over the wealth the bottom 90% produces. The upper 10% want to conserve the 89% of the stocks, bonds, real estate and natural resources that they own and so they use their wealth to buy the political power necessary to keep the working class from gaining any more wealth than they've already gotten. Political power grows out the barrel of wealth you own/control. We should socially own and democratically manage the wealth we produce and that which lies in natural resources so that we can have the power to distribute it on the basis of need and live in harmony with the Earth.

This is the information that we need to get out to all the people. Unfortunately too many are enclosed in a Fox “News” bubble (or similar) and never understand how the country is being manipulated by business interests and the wealthy. And now we have a Supreme Court abetting them at every opportunity.

Noam says it all,it’s always a very accurate portrait of what’s going on. Almost impossible to disagree with and if you do you are a fool or Propogandist.

@@mck1972the argument that “anti-capitalists being rich is hypocritical” is a stupid argument to make. We as individuals cannot possibly remove ourselves from the system we find ourselves in. If we can better our condition within our system, we should! To do so does not mean that we do not understand our system is unjust.

@MysticYT925 , LOLOL How can Chomsky possibly be justified in making millions & millions of dollars from a system that is so allegedly, ' unjust ', without ever refusing to accept any of this, ' unjust ', money himself? Nor ever demonstrating that another more, ' just ', system can work better in real world conditions? But merely keep reaping all the benefits of the same, ' unjust ', system all these years??? That IS Hypocritical!! So don't Shoot the Messenger just because you yourself can't face the truth of the Message! smh

"Citizens United" (which was really a group of corporations) v. Federal Elections Commission (2010) is a case that every American should know. It was the end of any pretense of a working democracy.
