@@1911beauty Semantics. Since we live in societies our societies should diffuse power among all citizens. It is as intuitive and natural as the born self-determination of all organisms. Chomsky is endorsing the modus operandi of humanity for nearly its entire existence. That approach, defined by equity and collaboration, has only been overturned in the past millennium or so. Indeed, within many functional families, relationships , neighborhoods and communities, it is equity and collaboration that are the basis of all loving-kindness.

chomsky may be minimalising his importance, but his role as a conduit of ideas, as an analyzer and a thinker is not to be underestimated. he helped me to develope a logic and a way of thinking that supports my intuituve convictions. everytime i read him, or see a clip like this one, he puts a bit of gasoline on the fire inside me. if, in my own very small way, i'm one of the 'heroes' who fight the daily battle, it's partly thanks to him. he's one of the greatest thinker of this time!

Chomsky is a peerless giant who trains a bright torchlight on the dark alleyways of state violence and repression. The most inspiring moral thinker of our times. He is to the 21st century what Bertrand Russell was to the 20th. To read him is to have one's synaptic connections rewired, to have one's delusions about the benevolence of America dismantled, and to seek to build a world governed by justice and freedom. His work has taken antiwar politics to a wide audience. Thank you for the video.
