Rage Against The Machine - Interview with Noam Chomsky (from The Battle Of Mexico City) 

.... and millons in the bank. Its very very easy to critisize the very country that protects your freedom to speak, religion, gun rights even, and with low taxes, cheap food and gas....Its a way to be seen to be 'brave'. Say what you like about the evil empire whilst counting the wad. A musician who wishes to force others to give away their wealth, not theirs. Why doesnt he give his cash away to the people coming over the border for example? Ask Chomsky about critical race theory for example, and he said critical race theory was a myth created by the....guess who? Anythig the left does is someone elses fault, even cancel culture on campus! The result is Trump.

​@abdell75roussos you been living under a rock? Who the F bought RATM music? Only chodes and scene kids did that shit. 😂 Mine as well take their money. They will just give it to bs like Starbucks instead. It ain't scamming bruh. It is simply smart.

@@momsspaghetti4064 True. I did like some of their songs, however the bass player is moron. I dont like people who live in, and make a fortune in the country they sing about hating. Constructive critism, debate about a country is good, but that does not sell records. Guess they have few good ideas, and the country they would invisage would look like the worse parts of San Fransico now, (they blame their usual enemies for that mess too though). Instead, they should sing about how human nature is what it is, and how they dont like it. I also heard that the guitarist was very very rude to staff at a restaurant/bar after being refused entry.

Nice to see anyone with those attributes 🥃

​@@abdell75roussosZack has done a lot for his community and his people and I'm certain he also criticises countries that do not allow freedom of speech. It's easy to attack a person but he reached quite a few people with his message and did good.

Niceee

And now ya do what they told ya...

@@willhe5564 Noam is one of the most famous dissidents in the country. If there was anyone that has said "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" the effective loudest it is Chomsky.

@@denglish5 I knew RATM was a cut above average, even 25 years ago, but never knew my fandom would be so practical too.. just funny to see how people will demonize one side or the other, not realizing the actual enemies in the shadows, or powers and principalities we face. People were fine saying "FUCK YOU, DIPSHIT" to President Bush (1 or 2), and Trump, but no dissidence for Clinton's, Obama's, or Biden's "college"... As long as totalitarianism rules, nobody is free. It has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now....? I'll stop before I'm labeled something I'm not, maybe I'll be better off purchasing & downloading "Free Radical" music before they cancel that too. 😂 Even though "Get What You Give" was mostly pop influential music.

@@willhe5564 you do realize they are talking against NAFTA here which was a neo liberal trade agreement. Chomsky, and by extension RATM, are against the moderate democratic candidates too. Chomsky was extremely disappointed with the banks bailout by obama. Chomsky's book on manufacturing consent is exactly against the "enemies in the shadows" as you put it. This isn't a left versus right thing. Clinton, obama, and now biden aren't being given free paces. I'll sit here and say fuck you to modern day conservatism just as much as I say fuck you to neoliberalism.

a college student from the philosophy gang.

yoga asix that is what it looks like, when someone is paying attention.

Zach has been studying for that since he could walk

Considering the fact that tom Morello went to a notable university very very close to MIT...

Zach and Morello gladly became multi-millionaires from America’s semi-capitalist system. Why haven’t they done all they can to reduce inequality by giving away all of their money beyond what they need to subsist?

...and charges $300 a ticket. Ah capitalism.. Must be terrible for him XD

@@turdferg9703 $125 is not bad for pit tickets with RTJ & RATM. There's also the fun fact that they don't set the price themselves. Anything higher is charity tickets as marked or if not, those are scalpers. Who cares that there's people/staff that need to be paid and they've never been against making money right?

@@mimilini1 What's a dube? Poor bastard can't even begin to try and understand humour let alone language or the concept of manufactured consent.

@@Unlucky-Dube it’s what you call yourself. So, you should be able to answer that.

@Pecker Dúnlaing Space Dolphin Brigada You probably didn't

Haha..most teachers don’t give a fuck and the ones that do don’t last

exactly, which is why the Insane calls for censorship of information and simple and obvious logical questions by people that are supposedly on the left is even more pathetic,because they should know better. Its fuckin sad.

It doesnt matter if you agree with what anyone is saying or not,if you arent allowed to ask questions about or discuss something, then someone is lying to you somewhere along the line and you must question and discuss that thing even more until we get ANYTHING AT ALL resembling truth from These monsters that control this world. But people are so easily manipulated emotionally these days that I dont have alot of hope,they look where they're told to look and feel what they're told to feel about it,but as long as they put the right filter or slogan on their social media page,then they can call everyone else an asshole and a nazi or whatever bullshit they're using that week to not actually have an adult conversation.

Me too!!!

I dont.

Who is we?

But with exponential tech, surveilence capitalism, tech feudalism. We also got Trump on the back of NAFTA and its effect on working America. Sad that we knew what our problems were for 20 years.

@Pecker Dúnling San Patricio Space Dolphin Brigada Trump was serving himself, he wasn't serving you.

@@peterhardie4151 same can be said for Zach

Gnar!

Probably a beast

Nah, surely he'd be on stage playing some wicked flute or bongos

Have you seen him lately? We need to protect him from any physical trauma at all costs, the man is an international treasure and he’s looking old as fuck

@@sammosaurusrex Thats because he is, surprise, old as f*ck. lol

Have you seen the one where he says the Federal Reserve is necessary and what does it matter who killed Kennedy? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He lost a lot of street cred with that one.

@@harrisonwintergreen1147 I read that nonsense article. Before writing and posting anything, people should read Chomsky and Marx carefully. He did not say nor do anything contradicting his intellectual and ethical principles.

The reason that you missed this is because you forgot to buy every Rage against the machine CD and DVD

LMFAO

If Vinnie Paz can do it with Zinn then RATM can do it with Chomsky

Oh, God NOOOO!!! Much as I love Noam... the gravel in that man's voice can strip the paint off your walls.

great new!

buy your tickets now....hahaha

$20 bucks says Zach and Tim get into a disagreement 2 concerts in, and they end the tour early.

jigsaw falling into place

Pretty sure the entire Band was "intellectual". It just wasn't Zach.

Look up a few Morello interviews. He can go toe to toe with Zach. Defining why we are so lucky we grew up with them

I believe that not only with education, education today prepares us to be one more sheep, critical thinking must be accompanied by education. Asking us why? above all things

Sadly things haven't gotten any better, but that fact alone kinda gives me hope they'll write some new material soon. Perhaps even before the shows in 2020!

This video is 19 years old. They're not back sorry

They need money. This only shows ratm IS the machine.

they're getting back together for five shows in 2020

They are. I'm going to the El Paso show and the Las Cruces show.

have you watched any of the zeitgeist stuff?

Guess who's back? Back again? ZACK IS BACK, TELL A FRIEND!!

I had Zachs lyrics posted on my wall as a kid. I was ready to run into City Hall and fuck some old people up and take the power back. Then Columbine happened then the police militarized so that shit ain't happening. The Constitution now comes in single ply or double ply for fatter cats

Ratm IS the machine. They are as corporate as Bono, just look at all their ticket-prices (300 dollars+) and all the adverts. They work for and have been promoting the machine (through sony ) for almost 3 decades now.

RIP me But you can hollow them out.

Precisely!

Solipsistic how? I would add, Solipsism was an argument allegedly from Gorgias, that we only have broken fragments of. Gorgias died over 2300 years ago. So we don't even know for sure what the real meaning and position of the argument was. If we say that the fragments that exist were in fact his ideas and they have been interpreted correctly, the meaning would be along the lines "nothing exists" and "if something exists, we cannot know anything of it".

@Elizabeth Look at all these slavemasters posin on your dollar

He probably spends most of his energy counting all the money he has made through that mean oppressive 'ol capitalism. He has a net worth of $25 million dollars. He's a con man larping as a revolutionary.

Hahaha

It’s cause communists aren’t individualists. They’re all the same. Easily swayed by so called “intellectuals”

@@VividFilmProductions an interesting take. I've sometimes found myself wondering what form exactly incendiary rap-rock that exhorts listeners to "Fight the power" would take in any communist state.

When was this interview?

@@vaporosoez Description says 2000.

@@MarkArandjus amazing

Zach was talking about knocking out fascists back on their debut album in the song wake up. Set the groove Then stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step Then bomb a left upon the fascists.

Moron Trumps voters voted for Obama as well, they are swing voters not right wingers, how do you know they don`t have the same ides?

@@Tommysimonsen Cuz we saw Trump's supporters rallying in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" - and after a counterprotestor was murdered by a vehicle we saw memes proliferating celebrating such atrocities celebrating her death and encouraging more slaughter. Some, I assume, are good people. But the right wing has not condemned the rising fascist movement and often actively mocks those that oppose it.

@@An0xymoron127 And we saw Bernie staf wanting people in concretion faciltys for thought crime. All politicians have evil voters. Not all have staf like that.

@@Tommysimonsen what the hell? this is just false.

Nice. Keep up the good fight my dude.

It was Trump who ended NAFTA.

UseYourHead414 , wrong! There were many who saw nafta as bad.

Bernie is pro globalism and a Freemason..and yes Trump got rid of NAFTA.

@@Tommysimonsen Trump renegotiated NAFTA in a way that fundementally changed nothing to improve the conditions Chomsky talks about.

@@ccmkoho Who else in the democratic primary condemned it in 94?

Mark Hayes I have no stakes in this either.

@Sarah Kelly 500 treaties down the drain...but if another super power pulls out of a treaty or a nation that can "DEFEND it self" does it... oh boy ... the " boogie man comes out" " false flags" "biological warfare" "character assassination" "tariffs" " embargoes" " all the -isms are plastered all over the press" and every single trick you could imagine. The same thing they do to a person they do it at the nation level.

Well its simple; if you dont pratice what you preach, you arent what you say you are. If your believe is really important to you you'll find a way obviously.

@@dosanddonts2919 I see it more as they are an 'oxymoron' in their practice, not hypocrites. A thin line between both words.

@@wespenn6139 Are you actually saying that they are RESTRICTED by capitalism to do what they want? No one HAS to take part in capitalism, as long as you have enough money to pay your bills. What other system would help them better with promotion and marketing? There isn't one. Unless you're talking about RATM being paid by government subsidies of course.

Clinton created the environment that made a wall necessary and democrats voted for for years. They don't want the wall now because NAFTA is done. Now they are stonewalling USMCA and the wall with bullshit impeachment proceedings instead of approving USMCA despite Canada and Mexico ratifying already

@Hayden R. Trump slipped TPP provisions into the NAFTA renegotiation. You defend the powerful and corrupt. We challenge them. If you think Trump is any different than the Clintons, you need to wake up.

@@danlboy2592 This isn't about Democrats vs Republicans bud. It never has been. If you don't accept both parties are completely and totally corrupt, including Trump and the Clintons, then you are part of the problem. The USMCA contains TPP provisions in it. And what do you think a wall is going to do? If you are risking travelling across harsh terrain, being raped and murders, with patrols and drones looking for you, you think a fucking wall is the thing that prevents you from crossing? One that has been shown it can be cut with a $100 saw from home depot? If Trump wanted to stop immigration, he'd target the businesses that benefit from it. But he won't. He hires undocumented immigrants. And he makes his clothing in China. He represents those businesses.

right!!! so cute watching him totally geek out haha

Yes! Can you imagine how great the country could become with Zach De La Rocha as president?!???? Oh he’d get my vote for sure!

Yeah but if you know Zack being president is one of the last things he would ever want

@@stephen0793 bull crap.... everyone has a choice. it's just they don't chose the road less traveled by. THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE... i am free. i can work, live and basically do whatever i want. no system is perfect, but ours is close. if you think we have no freedom, then you are grossly ignorant of the world. you are looking through rose colored glasses. is the USA perfect? no, but name one country that isn't? name a country that has done so much good for so many. my grandparents came to this country from Italy. they came here with nothing and because of the freedom of this country they flourished and i benefited from their hard work and freedom. people have choices.... they just want the easy rode.

@@2bLackCats1989 we cannot criticize the state of the rest of the world, and ask why people continue to come here without acknowledging the tarnish that US capitalism has reaped on other nation's land/resources, economy, livelihood... Many countries were never given the chance to succeed. Not to mention the propaganda projecting the falsehood that is "the American Dream" of equality and ability to work your way to riches. The once free indigenous farmers who seek to live in America's promise of luxury, only to find themselves working in a factory for minimum wage and spending their earnings on processed and low quality produce which they were once able to pick in quality and abundance on their own land. it is a narrative I've become all too familiar with

@@saraphinaASMR Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. Socialism has done the opposite.

RATM wouldn't exist without Marx.

Yes, and Zack was clearly in fanboy heaven talking to him ! It's like a religious person finally getting to meet god.

RATM wouldn't exist without Frantz Fanon either.

@James Bales How do you watch this content and remain that ignorant? The numbers are what they are you poor fool.

@James Bales LOL Sure slavery only happens in communist societies LOL. Great argument !

Some folks want to be abused.

Anybody who has ever read Das Kapital, published 1867, could figure this out. The USA has reached the point where it can no longer expand its global empire and thus cannot sustain its internal economic structure. That's why NAFTA was important at the time, but corporations have to sustain profit margins and so it isn't good enough anymore. The only thing the USA can do is collapse upon the weight of itself, or risk a war for global hegemony against pretty much every country it has alienated and threatened for the past 20 years who have since banded together in their own alliance.

@Pecker Dúnlaing Space Dolphin Brigada The "world" that you speak of being allied puppets the USA has emplaced here and there, along with faded empires and pivot middle powers. Even the European powers are progressing towards their own block without American involvement. The eastern bloc has been working extensively to de-couple the USD from international trade, and all of the countries that the USA has blockaded with sanctions have signed on. Once the USD is de-coupled from the global oil trade, it is game over for the USD (which is in irrecoverable debt that makes it even more worthless with every print, by the way). But what would such petty oil producing countries like Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran have in influencing global oil payments.

@Pecker Dúnlaing Space Dolphin Brigada None of those countries that I have listed have anything to do with the IMF. The IMF is used to create economic colonies for Western empires, which means they have to be destroyed first so the Western institutions can move in. The IMF also has nothing to do with crypto either and the key feature of crypto is that it is, in fact, decentralized.

@Pecker Dúnlaing Space Dolphin Brigada Russia doesn't have any significant external debt. The USA, however, is about $30 trillion in debt now. If you need it explained to you how bad that is, then you have issues. But then again, you are talking about "one world government"
