Noam has one of the most relaxing voices ever. So pleasant to listen to.

Interviews are never conducted at this level of integrity anymore. Genuine discussion propelled by a great interviewer.

This is one of his best interviews The interviewer was great too.

Noam was ahead of it's time before his father met his mother.

The best youtube videos have hardly any views

It’s a nice to see an interviewer that seems genuinely curious and actually lets the subject speak.

Wow it's just crazy how everything he says can be applied to what's happening today

20:45 to 22:36 says it all. This is the solution. Chomsky often gets criticized for not giving enough solutions, but this really isn't fair. Bottom line: organize. We have to stop isolating ourselves, fearing others, being shy, and thinking we're alone. There are tons of people out there. We have to come together. Form or join a group and expand it; be welcoming and inclusive. Focus on common interests and goals. Start with friends and family. Join organizations, form a union. Online is fine but the real world is better. Let go of political "hobbyism," and make it a real part of your real life. Start at the local level. Learn to communicate, especially with those who don't immediately share your views; regulate your emotions, practice patience and empathy. We 80%, we working and middle class, have the numbers- and despite the propaganda we can read the writing on the wall. But That's not enough without real-world action and organization. Yes, we're all busy with legitimate things like jobs and families, but if we decide to prioritize these "political" things in our life, we can find the time. Hell, if we can spend time watching TV, drinking, watching sports, and playing video games, we can do this too- we can be good citizens. It's fun, it's empowering, exciting, and if we succeed it will benefit both ourselves and the world. There is really no alternative. You have to be in it to win it. Yes, there's a risk you fail, there's a risk of discomfort and it can be scary even, but Americans aren't cowards, we like a challenge. But more importantly, doing nothing is the greater risk, because it's a GUARANTEE that nothing changes. Solidarity!

How incredibly sad how he’s been marginalized by the main stream media for so many years, a lifetime really. His contribution to my own education is significant. I have a picture of myself, Chris Hedges, Noam and his wife that I managed to take at his lecture in 2018.

Late '80s Noam is my favorite Chomsky.

Every Chomsky video has comments saying "best talk ever", "truly his most inciteful discussion", "best interview ever" and somehow they're always right

This man sees behind the curtain.... tells the world there is a man behind the curtain... the man behind the curtain says "just a curtain here, nothing to see" and the world says, " I think we oughta listen to the curtain"

23:37 - 24:26 Finally, the ever elusive link between Chomsky’s linguistics work and civic advocacy.

SUBLIME. Qué importante que todos estemos al tanto de esto. Admirable Chomsky. Saludos desde Argentina.

Noam looks like hes about to strap on a Les Paul and do a dreamy, bluesy set on Austin City Limits.

20:44- what do we do? 26:00 - no labor party, weak secondary structures. 39:03 40:27 - Democracy as potential to express other values inherent in human nature.

At his prime speaking truth!

Brilliant.

Amazing stuff

Love ❤️❤️

Omg he’s the best. Got to love Noam Chomsky. ❤

Another great video. Save it and share it. Thanks Professor Chomsky.

Bill Moyers and Noam have a great capacity for listening and dialogue .

❤❤❤

Hilarious outro

This man came from the year 2250. His ideas do not belong to the XX and XXI centuries.

12:00 20:30 Collective intelligence 23:20 26:20 29:40 32:00 33:25 33:36 Exactly, ressources are in the hands of a few, and if you cant supplement it with popular organization, it's over. 27:10 Apolotical unions 40:15 42:40 45:30

good

Naom, it’s the 21st century. We’re still here

I just marvel at the fact that people once knew how to converse respectfully. What has happened now is nothing short of degenerate wokrness.

May freedom ring Mr Chomsky!

What are some books (besides Chomsky) to gain knowledge on how society really functions?

A UMASS Prof. turned me on to Chomsky and then Chomsky saved my life growing up in the USA.

This interview revealed his prophetic nature.

17:15 he fucking called it

Long live freedom and democratic communism

33:00 Prior filter and constant filter

how in the world does this video have 48k views in 4 years???

Bill Moyers and Noam Chomsky - two pillars of honesty and commitment to democracy. One of Chomsky's best interviews imo

i didnt watch this interview , back in those days i was more intellectually inclined towards cartoon network.☺

This person reminds me of the boy in the kings new cloths. For those who do not know the story he sees through the bullshit of government that the masses swallow up.

With all his eruditeness I still have really only ever heard Chomsky criticize societal and economic structures, not ever actually posit any viable replacements. I'd like to read a book by him on that. If anyone knows of one I'd be interested.

8:00

Chomsky for President 2020

"We're the only major industrial democracy that doesn't have a political party which is basically labor based. We only have one political party with 2 factions, it's the business party. We have 2 factions of the business party called the democrats and the republicans and that's unusual."

Noam Chomsky is probably my favorite socialist thinker. He recognizes that, like all forms of government, socialism has the potential to fall to authoritarianism, but instead of throwing up his hands and giving up, explains how socialism has, and could again, be implemented to create a truly egalitarian society.

42:43

Enjoy Chomsky's views

around 20 minutes in is a great prediction of trump. making a reality show out of our democracy.

15:00 Hillary Clinton described perfectly LOL

Bill Moyers makes a great interviewer.

About 21:00 in Chomsky is describing social media on the internet...we all know how that works now 🤣🤣🤣🖕🖕🖕. A race to the bottom! Hilarious.

#DeFi ...... ;-P 🤓...... ✌️ #peace

Noam now now calls dissenters KOOKS, CONSPIRACY THEORISTS and DANGEROUS 😂 This GateKeeper is ridiculous ✌️

Basically what Chomsky is saying that people should not take shit anymore

Who owns the NY times?

Chomsky put forward some subversive thoughts that are still relevant these days.

The hoi polloi have no hunger for discovery. They have had curiosity bled out of them. Dr. Chomsky seems to be attributing an energy to the masses that they lack. Their apathy is only excited by violence and strife. Even then, they are merely spectators, with only the power to exercise a false ability to impose a thumbs-up or thumbs-down outcome to artificial conflicts manufactured by the political entertainment complex.

Who cares if humanity doesn't survive?

Not as good as his interview with ALI G tho 😎😎😎😎

The native English speaking world has just missed a great opportunity to be ruled by a leader that is more of a philosopher than just an intelligent writer, speaker, and professor.

This is dangerous psuedoscience and I AM VERY OFFENDED

So the Trump admin sounds like Reagan’s, clueless and book deals after leaving.

A congenital liar.
