Men like Chomsky are keeping the issue of have-nots and marginalised alive.Increasing gap between the upper and lower sections of population in almost every country is a matter which cannot be treated lightly. Economics must find a solution or the turmoil will increase, worldwide.
And God's supposed 'preferential option' for the 'Jews', the source of their sense of entitlement, and immunity FROM social justice, which we see on daily basis as the war delirium of Israel against Gaza, what of that?
Chomsky never was, and never will be the least bit interested in, or literate regarding theology. At one point he described himself as a Zionist of some kind - he is Jewish of course - but his actual religion is effectively doctrinaire Marxism-Communism of some particular stripe. Marxism is opposed root and branch to religion as we well know. An equally important point is that liberation theologies - which I fully support - in the past have tended to supplant the primary theological focus of the Hebrew scriptures, which is creation - the fact that there is something rather than nothing. This is yet another example of an intellectual with a high public profile pronouncing on areas which do not lie within his domain. Jordan Peterson is the classic case of the same.
@@johncalligeros2108 Not only is he not interested in, but virtually has never talked about it. THIS is not a video about theology. What he states is pretty much historical analysis, straight up. Which anybody who has even read a newspaper is capable of 'pronouncing' on. He wasn't quoting Guttierez or making any theological pronouncements. I don't listen to Peterson so can't state, but when ANYBODY talks, you look at what they say and examine to see if its true. From what I hear, Peterson is incomprehensible when he talks theology, but I have no interest in "why is there something rather than nothing" so am perfectly happy that Chomsky is as well. And while Chomsky has admitted to cases where public resources are managed better by public systems that are open, democratic and transparant, I've never seen much marxism apart from his oft quoted comment "those who work in the steel mills shoudl run them". Notice he doesn't say OWN them, he says run them, which increasingly is capitalisms goto position as huge numbers of middle managers have been shed as unproductive.

Very interesting. I stumbled upon this subject in his 2016 book 'Who Rules the World?' This video is very complimentary to what I read. Thanks!
Interesting!
Thanks! 🙏
You bet!
The Gospel is good news indeed.
It depends how it is used.
Interesting, I remember when the Priest were executed
that is why they invented liberation theology so that they wouldn't get killed by communists
Wasn't that the Contra-Sandanista conflict?
That was ONE of them.

Chomsky............your people will lose.
CHomsky has people? Technically CHomsky is about as pacifist as Christ, so he's fully aware that the 'side' he's one USUALLY loses.
