    I’m almost 80, a former history teacher, and have lived through enough history myself to really appreciate Chomsky’s critique of the past. Since studying his From Deep to Surface Structure (on linguistics) in the ‘70s, he’s been by favorite thinker… never having sold out to corporations or politicos… he’s the independent mind I wish we had more of in this country. Just wish he had written a textbook on modern world history that I could have used in my 40+ years of teaching (though that text might never would have sold in Texas, or a lot of other Right of Center states)! Thank you deeply Professor for your life so well spent!

      Fabricate two enemies. An external enemy (it could be Russia, China, terrorism, communism, migration, drugs, etc), and an internal one (the press, other political parties, etc). Anything to keep the population busy with such threats, real or otherwise, so that they do not place a priority in trying to change who and what is controlling their lives to their detriment.

      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!

      ​​​@@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.

    “I write about peace and criticize the barriers to peace; that’s easy. What’s harder is to create a better world… and what’s so exciting about at last visiting Venezuela is that I can see how a better world is being created.” Chomsky in 2006 on his good mate and book shill, Hugo Chavez.
    That aged well..

      Nothing would change the system , no matter how many people realize the truth, short of an actual rebellion. But they would just infiltrate that and be back in business screwing people 2 weeks after the dust settles.
