Chomsky opens Marr's eyes.

Mar 3, 2012 - "If u believe something different you wouldn't be sitting where ur sitting." Yea, and if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. This guy spews out meaningless nonsense all the time. Listen to his other videos. His statements have more wiggle words than the Reptile House at the San Diego Zoo!

KapStuf Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - Please explain how the sentence whose meaning you find offensive is meaningless.Then please explain how it uses these 'wiggle words'.And *then* please answer the original question: In what way is his thinking circular?

vince33x Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - Why didn't the moron who made this video let it continue?

KapStuf Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - The point had been made by Chomsky, the reaction had been given by Marr. Did you think they continued to discuss it? Or do you think Marr tried to get away from the issue as quickly as possible?What makes you think there is any more to show?

vince33x Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - Marr is clearly about to ask another question or make another observation. It would have been better to hear that than to have him cutoff

vince33x Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - Chomsky is right about many of his observations but he is exceedingly vague about his solutions or how he envisions those solutions to be achieved. He talks about workers running the factories they work in. OK, what about those who took the risks and made the investments. Or what's preventing the UAW from buying an auto plant and building their own vehicles? Chomsky speaks in fuzzy language about how he sees these things achieved - I think he does this because he doesn't want to re-

vince33x Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - veal himself as just another soft-headed Socialist.

socint74 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - You can go to" (The Big Idea) Andrew Marr Interviews Noam Chomsky" for continuation of the discussion at 11.00. where Chomsky goes on to answer Marr's ludicrous assertion that the U,K, has a politically balanced Press after which,as KapStuf. speculates, Marr immediately changes the subject.

socint74 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - I wouldn;t say Chomsky speaks in fuzzy language and, socialist or whatever,he is light years away from being "soft headed". But you are absolutely right that he is hardly an Alex Jones barrel thumping activist calling for specific action. I put this down to an academic's intellectual snobbery. and a possible fear of assasination The latter is possibly the reason he felt it necessary to distance himself completely from conspiracy theories on the Kennedy assasination and 9/11..

vince33x Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - I just think Chomsky lacks the courage of his convictions. If he believes in some kind of "worker's paradise" he should say so in no uncertain terms and tell us his vision of how it would be achieved (bear in mind, there's no such thing as a worker's paradise w/out mass slaughter). BTW, Kennedy was shot by a lone assassin and his name was Lee Harvey Oswald. Conspiracy theories were just a cottage industry formed by charlatans to make money.

socint74 Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - You are entitled to an opinion that conspiracy theories ( which remain very much alive and kicking!) are a cottage industry formed by charlatans but that is not entirely true as you well know. You are typical of those who have inadequate or no answers to explain deeply flawed.evidence offered in support of "official explanations" and an insult to those with open minds. Asserting Chomsky believes in a" workers paradise" is a stupid and unsubstantiated anti socialist jibe..

vince33x Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - Come on! I was taking about conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of JFK. Of course there have been other conspiracies, after all, a conspiracy is just a group of people planning, albeit for sinister purposes. As far as Chomsky and "worker's paradise" I inferred this based on his comments re workers owning factories, which sounds an awful lot like the Communist rhetoric of the 20th Century. Finally, I'm always skeptical of "official explanations." Especially given

vince33x Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - governments' track record [all governments not just the USA's] of deliberately misleading their own people. Look at the assertions made about SS & MediCare - virtually all of it lies - especially their cost projections, which were off at least tenfold, if not more. As for the JFK assassination, the overwhelming evidence pointed to Lee Harvey Oswald. I'm not going to get into that here because there isn't enough space. I'll presume you agree re that evidence.

socint74 Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - "Overwhelming evidence pointing to Oswald" relates only to his involvement  and is not proof that he was, as you say, "a lone assassin" There was an abundance of evidence, ignored by the Warren Commission, implicating others. It is on record some Commission members complained about withheld evidence and lack of full consultation with all members on the published conclusions. Believing in worker control does not infer a "paradise" nor is it an exclusively communist doctrine.

vince33x Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - OK, getting into the details of the evidence against Oswald which clearly shows he was not only the lone triggerman but a lone assassin as well, is incredibly well-documented in Gerald Posner's CASE CLOSED. If ur looking for the truth about the JFK assassination, this is the definitive book.

vince33x Says:

Mar 7, 2012 - Ur being ridiculous when u say: "Believing in worker control does not infer a "paradise" nor is it an exclusively communist doctrine." My God, it's become a colloquialism that the Soviet Union was called (albeit euphemistically) the "worker's paradise." Please tell me ur kidding.

socint74 Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - Terms used by right wing propagandists who live in in constant fear of socialism are only meaningful to the dumbed down who swallow them.

socint74 Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - The veracity of Posner's testimony to Congress was questioned , data in his book has been shown to be distorted and inaccurate and is disputed both by other reputable commentators and witnesses to the assassination.. An excellent book, maybe ,which wasunderstandably well received by by the Establishment and Corporate controlled media who wished to bury any doubts and scandal but hardly definitive..

vince33x Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - It's the Socialist who have to propagandize, because socialism results in misery and poverty. And it is the Left-dominated media and academy that has continually pushed the idea of collectivism. The belief in collectivism requires dumbing down. This is why the Left wants as many people in gov't schools as possible.

vince33x Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - "Corporate controlled media" Ah yes, now there's a loaded statement, which is meant to convey "What?"

socint74 Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - "Left dominated media" - Who's being ridiculous now? It was on this issue that I suggested you listen to the full interview where Chomsky puts straight the U.K. media situation, You criticise the uploader and bad mouth Chomsky without addressing any of those facts. As for education we distort history beyond recognition to hide the truth that Western global violence and exploitation by a capitalist gangster elite are resposible for world poverty deprivation and disease..

vince33x Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - OK, now I know ur a moron: " that Western global violence and exploitation by a capitalist gangster elite are responsible for world poverty deprivation and disease.." And that's why the folks in the 3rd world have bn fleeing to Western Capitalist nations for more than a century. It is Western Capitalism that has brought BILLIONS out of the kind of grinding poverty of the 3rd world u seem to criticize. Just continue being a moronic ass & being blind to that which is right in front of u.

socint74 Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - Do I detect temper tantrums? You must still believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy Get out of cloud cuckoo land and , who knows , there may be a hope of your passing the kindergarten entrance exam.. The U.S.elite and military industrial complex dictate foreign policy.Any nation with resources they need or is strategically placed to lay pipe lines & build military bases to "protect" U.S. commercial interests is fair game. for invasion and the unseating of "unco-operative regimes"..
