This lecture had a greater influence on my ideas about politics then any lecture i've ever heard. Chomsky manages to give an extremely compelling, complete, and complex introductory argument for an anarchist position in less then an hour.
Anarchy the exquisite rear orifice critical THEORY rhetoric of all the as holes who ever lived. Culminating in the sickening repetition of evil upon evil upon evil of all human relations according to the suicidal Faustian Dogmas of an intellectual NPC in the 21st Century.

It's astonishing that he developed this amply documented and substantial conception of american political economy at aged 42 having already revolutioinised linguistics. I dont even say its true. But simply to have a plausible, integrated and substantial conception of the sweep of US post war policy is quite breath taking. Especially so given that there was no help from mainstream US intellectual culture, for whom this conception is utterly incomprehensible
The loss of individualism over the decades since ww2 has driven the global collectives into the weired paradoxical irony of identity crises which will never be resolved until a global tolerance of perpetual differences has been addressed
The intelligent manipulation of the human mind. Edward L Bernays Is it wrong to remove the logic of love from man's conscienceness? A love of ones self, life, freedom, or liberty of achievement. If Capitalism has so permiated the perfection of society, how then is it required to manipulate the conscience mind that has no need for teachings about wrong and right?
Nobody wants hear this stuff and good luck discussing it with anyone but I have for sum time now sought the information Chomsky claims is readily available to our society as a unbelievable is that is. The records are extensive. And just a side note. U know he discusses the media bias and one day while talking with my brother who broadcast the news from a untamed city. As a news caster I ask him how he knew what he was saying was true. Now this is my brother and a good guy. But he told me out without skipping and beat that it's true because he's saying it. Funny huh
@@markmacdonald7955 I'm not finding the cartoon either, but the text on some of the buildings is discernible here. I can make out "Profit over people," "What Uncle Sam really wants," "Propaganda and the public mind," and "On power and ideology." These are all titles of books by Chomsky. So I'm guessing that pattern holds true for the illegible parts of the background as well.
@@GolfBaller capitalism I'd as evil as highways; while abuse can happen, it's arguably how many lives it has saved and hope much better traveling via highways instead of open plains. Like a highway, a society allowing liberty is able to go anywhere. Now that's where it's important to determine wise regulations to make sure capitalism doesn't create more harm then good.
Not exactly. John Stuart Mill became a socialist, for example, and John Dewey argued for economic democracy. Thomas Jefferson, the president who influenced the Bostonian Individualist Anarchists, believe in an agrarian society of free and independent artisans and farmers. He was influenced massively by John Locke, whose labor theory of property, today, we would associate with libertarian socialist notion of "occupation and use", precluding absentee property which is necessary for the factory system (industrial capitalism) that Jefferson feared would make people leave their farms and become dependent on others for their subsistence. The idea that Classical Liberalism is only capitalist can only be true if you leave out anti-capitalist CL thinkers.
