Best Doc i've ever seen on the reasons why this nation is in the place its in today.
@Stephen Martin lolz
it certainly wouldn't be the republicans and Trumper giving tax cuts to big business and the rich every chance they get. btw Chomsky has been just a wee bit critical of the Republican party. he's also attacked the Dems but not nearly as much as the Repugs.
Noam’s discussion should alert the Average American to stop a moment and learn the Systems which are dictating our lives and our wellbeing. This is Capitalism, which is the economic system in existence Worldwide. Capitalism is not racial or ethnic, it is all about economics and class and thereby affects each and every one of us. Knowledge is Power. Listen, research, learn, share, discuss and act.
We don't live under free market capitalism in America. It's an oligarchy.
@@karenbartlett1307 Oligarchy and State Capitalism. not free market capitalism.
The entire film was eye opening and amazing. Thank you Mr Chomsky
The devil in any system is when the masses are deceived by the corrupted.
Eeeeeeeeeeeee SOS Noam choski

Dale contesta
Just saw this full movie on Netflix. Thank you filmmakers--and Noam Chomsky for elucidating the problem of the wealthy-"powerful" contrasted with WeThePeople - and your many proofs, historical and present-day, about the [ridiculous] conflict between both. I've met "oligarchs" - many (not all) are a compassionless breed when it comes to economic balance. The motive is "love of money" ("evil" in the Bible, e.g.) instead of the PublicGood and overall good for all - that swaths of money can provide. REGULATION (which, duh, helped to curtail greed) was a good thing...the Public Good flourished then. If small businesses were legitimately and for-true-justice upset with "too much regulation" - then examine regulation - adjust it - not at the detriment of others - and don't destroy it!! UNIONS, come back!! etc.... BERNIE has the right idea for humaneness! Economists Richard Wolff and Robert Reich do too.
I disagree with Pro. Chomsky. America is still a land of opportunity, provided one works hard. I would not want to live anywhere in the world. It is the best country in the world. Go America
But his thoughts are very close to or almost similar to socialism /communism , free healthcare ,free education , equality , regulation , labour union , restriction of capitals , control economy , these are the basic pilars of communism and socialism , The Americans are against these ideas and thats why we had a cold war to stop the spread of communism ...........socialism has failed Europe , all European capitals are filled with drug addicts junkies fed by the states welfare system, you provide everything on a dinner plate to your population , the state will get exploited , people will stop working , the odd jobs will be taken by the migrants ,its a vicious circle , i thinks people are confused , they should stick to one school of thought
are you insane. oxy epidemic in the states. fyi noam is an anarchist
So you’re equating free healthcare, free education and such programs as “socialism”? Sweet Jesus, America is in trouble. Only a white person would see things that way. A white person who’s ancestors most likely migrated from another country and took advantage of MANY programs paid by other tax payers. Judging by your closed-minded views, I’m willing to go on a limb and say you’re of the “Republican” flavor?
you've been watching too much corporate owned TV news and commercials.
Sorry but every word of this is a lie.
Present your proofs that every word of this film is a "lie". First of all, it's very rare for a whole film's "every word" to be a lie. Secondly, it might behoove you to expose the lies and why they are lies with proofs. Thirdly - you see no evidence of this today?!, e.g., the so-called "health"care of Trump/Republicans - which really was "wealth"care - devoid of compassion: healthcare is NOT a "right", right? Wrong in my values system and in Chomsky's likely. Howevever SinglePayer healthcare is the most fiscally smart business-wise....so, big Republicans who have some heart as well, Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger have come out for SinglePayer Healthcare. www.FIXitHealthcare.org for some info via this free movie online. Really take a look at the intelligence of removing the often-greedy health insurance companies!
Julieanna ~ Current inquality is unprecedented. Absolute bullshit. The US has a huge middle class and the middle class worldwide is growing as a result of capitalism. Ask your average Venezuela how well socialism is working for them. There can be no political freedom without economic freedom.
Have you looked at statistics; have you looked and the democratic-socialism in Scandinavia and some in Germany - it works better - and includes ethically-regulated capitalism/"free enterprise". Please read of the different kinds of socialism. What do you mean by "freedom". I consider thinking of others as much as self is a freedom far beyond the freedom of self-only. Go ahead with your self-only freedom, though, if that's what you really think works.
A struggling middle-class. Wages have been nearly frozen for several decades...and the oligarchs have slurped it up bigtime, expanding their coffers which they ultimately don't know what to do with (some of them indeed). Love of money is different from love of one's work and being compensated properly with money.
Chomsky isn't against Capitalism, if you actually read his work you'd know that. While the US still obviously has a middle class it is no where's near as vibrant or widespread as it once was and we do not have some of the worlds most basic social rights like every other major country on earth such as health care. Having social programs doesn't mean you kill your economy or kill capitalism as a whole. You cannot let capitalism run completely rampant though, especially in a society like the US where corporations have more power than your elected officials. Lobbying is done almost completely openly in the United States and we're all aware of it. Monopolization of business is very strong in the US as well and not much anything is done about it and it is as a result of Capitalism creating a social class divide. The more you can keep the competition down the bigger you get leaving no room for economic diversity and growth. Pointing at one country and going "Look socialism is bad since it didn't work there" makes absolutely no sense since the entire world has socialism including the United States. Situations and forms of government are simply not as simple as people like to think. If you really want to see and challenge Noam Chomsky one of the world's most respected intellectuals in history, MIT professor and prolific author of works on media, economics and government as a whole then read up and then draw your conclusions.
