      Bernie is a sell-out - a sheeple-herder that never intended to win. He was a gatekeeper for Hillary because she is AIPAC-beloved and he is an Israel-firster. He threw his supporters under the bus as they told him in real time that the nomination was being stolen. The con was set up even before the race started as alluded to in a Podesta email. Bernie pushes Russiagate and admits he’s a Zionist. He supported the same candidate as Dick Cheney endorsed.
      Vote Third Party (REAL third parties, not the Bernie Sanders' kind).

      He also stated our education is largely an indoctrination toward aforementioned ideologies which neglect numerous important issues discussed in the video. I don't believe making our garbage overpriced education system free via an increased tax burden will solve all that much. Nationalized medical care will solve much more so let's orient toward that first. These are incredibly complex issues which will never be tackled when American focus is constantly oriented toward presidential elections that merely determine which corporate bodies will have more priority in the legislative body and combative bipartisan ideological monologs which only deepen our delusional conceptual divides.

      He can't win; as at least 30% of Republicans won't vote for him. And Democrats and independents who are tempted, well..Bernie doesn't come with the crazy, so I think most realize he's the better alternative. They're the only-two talking about how corrupt the system is, hence why they're drawing such interest. The latest polls show Bernie beating every GOP candidate nationally-except Jeb, who he ties with. Several polls show Hillary can be beaten, as she's surrounded by controversy and doesn't excite her base. Even Trump's admitted; facing off against Hillary would be a dream-whereas Bernie scares him much-more, as he would be so much harder to beat.

      Jamiethecommie what anarchists, and other far leftist/socialists of all stripes need to understand is that Bernie isn't going to run on a platform left of social democracy and/or social liberalism, but that doesn't mean he isn't an actual socialist. My understanding is he's somewhere between a libertarian socialist and democratic socialist, but that he doesn't legislate, or campaign as such. Imo that's a good thing. Left of social democracy isn't happening in this country anytime soon, in part bc to most people in this country, such a position is extremist far left. Granted, it's not far left, but that's just how far right our politics are skewed. I'm a man of two political positions, my ideal is libertarian socialism of some sort (in other words, that's my "in a perfect world" system), but my realistic position, bc right now my ideal just isn't realistic to expect or vote for (and we're nowhere near a revolution that could pull it off... and even then I'm more a gradualist - though I'm not sympathetic with Leninism ffs), is social liberalism or social democracy, bc that's the furthest left we're getting in the states any time soon. Let's face it: a social liberal system, akin to what the U.K. had post-WW2 and pre-neoliberal 80s, would practically be a socialist paradise in the US, compared to what we have now, or anything we've ever been close to in decades. The neoliberal nightmare is still running strong, and capitalism is pretty safe in it's fail-proof-bailouts-for-the-rich arms. Socialists/Anarchists/Leftists of all stripes need to face reality, accept this, and settle for less than an their *ideal* world, in exchange for a reasonable, further left (and actual left of center) than what he have now world. Let's at least get left of center, for the first time in somewhere around 50+ years, before we expect to get far left, and then work from there. As far as I'm concerned, that's the only option on the table. The means of production are off limits for a while, and frankly, we're lucky if we get them before technology/robots do.. ✌🏼

His books have sold enough to barely qualify him as a millionare for the first time in his life since he belongs to the poorest senators. The cost of the home is not even that high for the area, here in California a small 2bd home in a working class neighboorhood is like 400,000 average with no big patio or anything.

He is not against millionares but the top tier elite who bleed out everyone else, dont pay their fair share are not fair with employees and control politics to keep benefiting themselves over sacrificing the ones on the bottom by burying deeper into debt, lack of opportunities, education, healthcare and so on. Bernie knew that he needed to stay in the Senate to keep working on turning the wh progressive so he started with the movenent that brought people like AOC and diverse progressives into the WH. He has never stopped working and is not about him but getting regular people involved and into the wh. Even if a Democrat would had won they would it been stuck not been able to make real change and getting blocked. He has impacted the party by adapting the platform to his policies so now its been forced to become more progressive.

      In this speech he literally mentions that he developed the term from Bernays and Lippman... also any time he is asked about the writing of manufacturing consent he clearly says Herman wrote the portions of structure of the media and Chomsky focused in on the specific examples that test the analysis of the propaganda model filtering system, such as the comparison of the treatment of events in Cambodia and East Timor in the media.
      You’re the only liar here...

    I feel like Chomsky lost some optimism after the Bush administration. What I found interesting was when he was talking about threats after the year 2000. To say Chomsky isn't accurate is disingenuous.

    • @eashton42
      @eashton42 9 років тому

      Simon Keel I think a serious critique of Chomsky-in other words, one that doesn't resort to accusations of factual inaccuracy-would be to criticize the way he characterizes certain things, as well as his emphasis. His contention is that since he lives in the United States, his concern should be, and is, documenting and criticizing the "violence" of the United States; you'll find that this position is absolutely unwavering. Furthermore, Prof. Chomsky does not believe, in effect, that states are legitimate entities; now that's a perfectly tenable position, but it's one with which I very strongly disagree, and it does, in my view, devalue some of his pronouncements, particularly some of the more categorical ones.

    • @JWD1012
      @JWD1012 9 років тому +5

      +Edward Ashton His contention is not merely that since he lives in the United States his focus should therefore be on documenting and criticising violence committed by the United States but that since the United States assumes the position of the moral beacon to the unstable world, and largely gets away with this fairly ridiculous pose while diminishing the possibilities of morality and chipping away at the stability of the world, a critique of that position is eminently more necessary and vital than a critique of the cartoonishly villainous enemies the U.S. sets itself against. That is to say that Chomsky is not especially interested in saying what goes without saying. This is why, if you actually look for it, you can find plenty of examples of him calling, for example, Saddam Hussein a "monster" and an evil man, but he's not especially interested in spending a career drawing wide-ranging over-arching critiques of overtly villainous mustachioed thugs, because everybody knows them and what they are about and why they are a bad thing. On the other hand, since even the most innocuous and factually verifiable contentions Chomsky makes provoke accusations of "anti-americanism" and/or lunacy, there's evidently much important work to be done, as far as discussing the things Chomsky chooses to discuss.

    • @fractalspace1111
      @fractalspace1111 9 років тому +3

      Edward Ashton Chomsky always makes a point of showing his readers that the United States is responsible for the same acts of violence that it likes to prosecute and accuse others of. I think you are majorly misinterpreting what he writes about. I don't know if you have read his books but I have read some chapters of Hegemony or Survival and Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies. Chomsky isn't merely accusing the United States of being violent, he is pointing out the foreign policy on the United States is one of hypocrisy because the only time people dying is right in the eyes of our law is when it is by the hands of the United States, and you will see that is true if you look through our history of the last 40 years. It is hard to talk about Chomsky until you have actually read his literature because his ideas are very much grounded in fact and maybe to jingoist it doesn't seem right what he is saying, but he is very much a rational person and what he says is true, in terms of morality. It is impossible to find a mainstream news source that isn't biased. Mainstream media doesn't talk about what Chomsky talks about because if they did they would get cancelled. A hypocrite is someone who says "don't do that" and then turns around and does exactly what they told others not to do. That is precisely what the United States does.

    • @eashton42
      @eashton42 9 років тому

      Simon Keel I have read Chomsky, in fact, but I'm curious if you would clarify one point: you say "...very much grounded in fact and maybe to jingoist it doesn't seem right what he is saying," and I'm curious if the jingoist to whom you're referring is me. If so, I'd like to know why it is that you think that. (This is not passive-aggressive or anything of that sort; I'm genuinely curious, and if I've been expressing views that sound like jingoism, I'd like to know what they are.)
      As to your other points, I don't find much to disagree with on the merits. My critique is a more sweeping one, and Prof. Chomsky did, in fact, say at one point that he does not consider states to be legitimate. This was, I'm almost certain, in a debate/discussion with Michel Foucault that was held a long time ago, but it lives here on UA-cam. Foucault speaks in French, but I think there are subtitles; I don't remember if there are, but I'm pretty sure of it. It's a very high-level, conceptual kind of debate, and it was some time ago, but I don't see Chomsky as someone who would walk back a statement of that kind-and besides, it's a view that is pretty consistent with his views of a lifetime. None of this is to say that I don't consider Chomsky serious or anything like that, only that I disagree profoundly with his views on a lot of matters of foreign policy.
      Now I've babbled on long enough for one comment, but if you're interested in why it is that I disagree with Chomsky's point of view, I'd be happy to tell you. I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of what you've said about state violence and so on, though. My critique is just a bit more fine-grained that I might have made it seem in my earlier comment.

I still remember first reading about the CIA overthrowing an Iranian government in the 50's & knowing what happened subsequently, it instantly laid plain why they hate us & why we're not trusted there. This speech felt much like that, particularly in terms of the central American dialogue. Thanks very much.
