Requiem for the American Dream with Noam Chomsky DOCUMENTARY - Politics, Philosophy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining characteristic of our time - the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality - tracing a half-century of policies designed to favour the most wealthy at the expense of the majority - while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. Profoundly personal and thought-provoking, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time - the death of the middle class and swan song of functioning democracy. A potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed, REQUIEM is required viewing for all who maintain hope in a shared stake in the future.

Thank you, Professor Chomsky
..for a lifetime of service like no other
Like Nobel prizewinner, economics professor, lecturer, Milton Friedman
@@doreekaplan2589 yup. Exactly like Friedman. You nailed it
Thank you i couldn't say it better. You absolutely nailed it.
The difference being that Friedman has actual Training and Experience in the field of Economics.
Vs Chomsky, who has ZERO actual Training or Experience in any field outside Linguistics! 😀
@mck1972 pretty outstanding that despite that, hes able to so eloquently paint such an accurate portrait of this country and the world outside of it.
Breaking solidarity is making sure that people are frightened and directing the anger reaction into hatred for the "other". Fear/hatred of the "other" is a classic, from time immemorial.
Very true and since te fear of the other is a natural state for many ego's it works like a litle swiss clock....if people were proud and compassionate enough ( and intelligent) they would tell the powers that be to go fok themselves
Something which people like Joseph Goebbels understood implicitly.
Fabricate two enemies. An external enemy (it could be Russia, China, terrorism, communism, migration, drugs, etc), and an internal one (the press, other political parties, etc). Anything to keep the population busy with such threats, real or otherwise, so that they do not place a priority in trying to change who and what is controlling their lives to their detriment.
Bourgeois ideology: my freedom is based on your unfreedom.
I like to sleep on a pillow of Noam chamskies speeches. Love this guy talk
Bravo, Noam. You are a paradigm.
Gotta love it when your Chomsky gets interrupted by ads.
Thank you to all of the people who made this video possible, and thank you so much for posting this video. This is the most important critical analysis of america ever made.
❤ totally agree
No doubt professor Chomsky isn’t very popular with corporate institutions and republicans, when he passes away, they will privately celebrate, however, Norm Chomsky is and has always been a champion of the common man, a voice for true democracy….
He’s not popular with the Democratic Party, either. The closest he has come to supporting is a “lesser evil” argument. He doesn’t equate the two, because there are differences (though not those that they often pretend to have) but he talks about the “the two party leadership and their financial backers” because of the substantial overlap 1:00:38
I’ve sent this to everybody I know and tell everybody I made about it because it seems like too many people do not understand the truth of what’s going on and this is a good crash course to get them started. I am so grateful to Noam Chomsky.
LOL A, ' crash course ', in Economics from a Linguistics Professor who has never held a job outside academia?
Yeah anyone who actually believes that Chomsky knows what he is talking about here, will certainly, ' crash ', into reality later on! :-D
@melvinboekholt1540 ,
Glad to explain for everyone’s benefit:
I never denied that Chomsky’s recitations of data were accurate by themselves.
But-Chomsky’s ability to do so does NOT make him qualified to properly understand or judge these fields he is talking about (Outside Linguistics).
So If Chomsky accurately recites last Season’s pro football stats, then does that make Chomsky qualified to judge the performance of the players & coaches on the field, or be an NFL coach himself?
See how ridiculous that reasoning is??
And btw, Chomsky conveniently omits that fact that, ‘ current day reality ‘, somehow enabled he himself to garner a multi-million dollar fortune himself: www.wealthypersons.com/noam-chomsky-net-worth-2020-2021/
So now hopefully this makes the truth clear of how ridiculous it is to believe that Chomsky genuinely understands a topic simply because he has the ability to recite, and, ‘ ‘ analyze ‘, accurate data about it!
-You’re Welcome! 🙂
Noam is a Hero
@@yvonne2965 ,
Sadly that is true: Some misguided people do see this ridiculous old man, with his absurd conspiracy theories, based on his skewed interpretation of his cherry-picked data, as a, ' hero '.
Hopefully these misguided people will open their eyes to reality-Hopefully...
@@mck1972 He’s literally describing history, facts and current day reality😂 Curious: which part is incorrect??
@@antoineroccamora ,
I made multiple attempts to reply to your post directly. But it kept getting deleted (?)
So I had to add it to under my previous post that starts: " LOL A Crash Course "
Please see that post for reply.
Noam Chomsky: the definition of a wise and decent human being
LOL. I found the sucker.
Best ever version of Chomsky's thesis! His usual expert scholarly tone is edited down to concise vernacular, w/o sacrificing any supreme authority. A sweeping tour de force.
This is the absolute most important analysis of our present system! Our democracy has been contorted into a plutocracy.
Fantastic historical/economical analysis by the one and only - Noam Chomsky.
Looking at the pictures of students in the 50s makes me realize we're in a dystopia now.
yes we are. but you won't hear the TV mention that fact.
For sure 😊
Because we are lol.. and headed towards a combination of Idiocracy and Elisium futures
The saddest part of this masterclass in sociopolitical analysis is that I can’t get a single person I know to take interest in this despite it explaining, in great detail, everything they complain about.
It's always been easier to go with 100 that want to go, than 1 that doesn't.
And you can lead a horse to water...
It used to frustrate me with the people I know, I want to help them, or at least share relevant info, and most could care less. It used to really frustrate me, but then it occurred to me, that's just the way people are. The whole country and world will go down the drain before they admit that they need to wake up and pay attention, and probably do something.
Oh Boy!!! Thank God for the internet, wouldn't see this on TV.
You would if you had RT, Russia Today.
Banned now in my country.
Al Jazeera will be next to go.
This is what the mainstream media wants to keep away from people.
Manufacturing consent. Noam chomsky s critical work on media, effectively blacklisted him from tv
This is the greatest documentary I’ve seen in a LONG time. It’s pieced together very well 👏
Thank you Prof. Noam Chomsky for your incredible contribution.
Very interesting. Hope humanity learns so that we may build a new dream, together🙏
The irony of the amount of ads one is forced to watch when watching this documentary is just.. jeez

I feel so much more stable now that I know my life was designed to be precarious.
Me too
thank you very much for a most enlightening presentation. N.C. the people’s Hero.
I Watched this twice & saved it to shsre with everyone!
Our very first day of school, was our very first day of institutionalization, indoctrination, and ideologies today. Because our minds are innocent and shapable at that age. John D. Rockefeller designed the American Education System. He stated: I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” Even more compelling are the words of Frederick T Gates, business advisor to Rockefeller: “We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science." Makes me mad that we are falling for all of their BULLSH*T.
Today, even workers are not needed because all industry has gone to Asia
Amazing to read this and then realize that the left are the ones that oppose vouchers.
Thank you, Noam.
Wow! This man is a virtual suppository of wisdom. Thanks for posting!
Surely you mean "repository" unless you are just having us on. 😆
@@angierobinson9679 Oops! Sorry about that. Thanks for the heads up! (I voted for Obama twice.)
Thank you so much for this excellent documentary. Such a panoramic overview, a must see if you want clarity on our western society, I live in Australia and it is equally applicable.
All Americans need to watch this documentary . This should be show in all American High School Civics classes now !
Never will happen, they’ve been getting the agenda and only the agenda for the last 20-30+ years. At least since northern Idaho happened…
I’m telling you, ruby ridge was the set in stone day. That was the first time we saw government fuck up and show to us what they really mean to do…
Yes because who better to educate others about Economics than a Linguistics Professor, who has never even run a burger stand, and who made ALL of his own multi-million dollar fortune via the same For-Profit-Capitalist System that he has been bashing his entire carreer-Like the Unqualified Hypocrite that he is!
😀😀😀
Thank you so much for explaining what many of us have been anticipating.
Thank you for posting this great documentary, thank you Noam Chomsky for all your knowledge and for helping us to open our eyes.
Flawless! ❤
Where to begin. True words that people ignore at their risk.
Noam is an international treasure
which is why he had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein? Hmmm kinda sus you look up to him.
Buried treasure.
@@fernandocortez3814 How is that relevant to the video at hand?
Buried by the big business owned media conglomerates. @@Johnconno
are you a garbage collector?
Noam is an academic legeng
Great video and message. Only by active and organized participation in protest and marches is possible to reverse the effects of this concentration of wealth and power.
THANK YOU Noam Chomsky and all who made this video possible. Our quality of life and quality of death are possible for us when reality is acknowledged.
Absolute brilliance!
This is brilliant and motivational. The challenge, ironically, is organising. With such a jump in communication tech and platforms it should be easy to organise and inform. The reality is quite different. We owe Mr. Chomsky a lot. We mostly learn through observation and he has been a great and important influence in that respect.
Remember the Arab Spring, when Twitter was hailed as the greatest force for democracy the world had ever known?
No go listen to Thomas sowell for the truth chumsky doesn’t have the courage to say.
What truth is that? Sowell cherry picks and only critique’s in one direction
@@joecalta3679 Thomas sowells truth runs circles around Chumpsky’s lies any day of the week.
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz ,
Now let's be fair:
Chomsky really does not have enough of a grip on reality to properly judge the difference between, ' truth ', vs ' lies '! 😀
Dr. Chomsky, thanks once again.
So gloomy to see that he has been explaining to the public how flawed our system is for decades with absolutely no result. On the contrary things are getting worse.
They are and the wealth bracket could care less. Naming rights are all that matters. Plus taxes and stock analysts.
Nothing would change the system , no matter how many people realize the truth, short of an actual rebellion. But they would just infiltrate that and be back in business screwing people 2 weeks after the dust settles.
Very great stuff.
So informative 😊
Every westerner should watch it.
Watching now. Good insight from Chomsky🙏🙏🙏
Excellent , thanks for posting this.
This should be played in every single high school.
The best way to control less fortunate people is by scaring them financially and emotionally. Inflation does both.
Partly but the best way to distract people is to convince them their freedom is linked to their consumption.
I agree. I think many of us have been expressing the same thoughts for years. The difference is that I'm poor as dirt and, thanks to inflation, about to become homeless and he is worth 10 million dollars, so he doesn't have to worry about it as much.
@sherylbrownlea7592 a lot of people are dirt poor, not enough are talking about it. You're not alone. This is only temporary. I hope your situation gets better. Reach out to all the resources, churches in your area. Take care, blessings Sheryl ✨️
@@dvlefttrite generalization. Chomsky is way behind in technology. He still thinks people don't read books despite the introduction of e-readers decades ago. And apparently smartphones are just 'toys'. Shall we ask people from developing countries about that, because they're revolutionizing their economies. You can do *so much* with a smartphone now.
Chomsky's conception of advertising is also shockingly naive. Apparently there were no adverts at ball games when he was a child. Can we just check that real quick? That's the most easily demonstrable of Chomsky's many false generalizations, but somehow I doubt it will be.
I venture my memory of advertising is more reliable, and it always followed public tastes, not the other way around. When this grand scheme was supposed to have hatched (in the 1950s), appliances were essentially industrial-grade, and were expected to last decades. Commercials actually made a virtue of how economical consumables were. The only reason things became more disposable since was to reduce prices, and again, that's on the consumer, looking to the bottom line.

This is what opened my eyes to the way our goverment really works. It hurt to know the truth but I've continued to learn more and expand my consciousness over the past 11 years.
Don’t put you’re trust in a socialist. That’s a bad idea
And what are some of the most important things that you`ve learnt throughout this period?
Not nearly enough views. Please post this on as many platforms as possible. Thank you for sharing this vital information. Mr. Chomsky is brilliant! 🙏👏
Love that more ppl r seein this I watched during the pandemic get to organizing ppl
Yes. Vote Republican
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hzdon't vote at all, or work., you just support the M.I.C
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz I don’t have party loyalty so I’ll need reasons to vote. My ultimate vote is a restructuring of our social institutions as a whole with policies, people, and systems that function to serve the people properly and operate with the highest ethical standards. What a dream 💭 it takes unity and moral/intellectual aptitude to make it real. So a candidate who embodies that ethos has my loyalty and my vote.
@@CptHindsight01 sure. Who’s “moral” standards do you want?
The right supports freedom above all, the left supports government above all.
That’s why I support the right not the left.
Fantastic video. Thanks
You should be ashamed that this man isn't in The New York Times every week.
I'm ashamed he's not in new York's Ryker island!
The NYT serves Corporatism.
@brandonwright7080 why would you say that?
"You should be ashamed that this man isn't in The New York Times every week."
Chomsky would be deeply offended by that suggestion.
He is a famous genocide denier, not really something you want on the books
He should live forever :)
Thank you for making this documentary🙌
It’s such an excellent presentation of Chompsky’s ideas, I wish the producers understood two things: important ideas don’t need stimulating music as emphasis. And second, hard of hearing people often can’t hear what is being said when art filigrees the speech. Forgive my pique, but artsy fartsy additions do not make things great. His ideas are so well structured, just let us enjoy good clean honesty.
Chomsky is pretty two dimensional. Criticise America and the west continually even for the slightest of international mishaps but does the most unbelievable mental gymnastics when it comes to defending genocides committed by left wing governments
Wonderful story well told ❤😢
Thanks Professor Chomsky
It's hard to look at this from the highest perspective to see classic human instincts clashing with the dynamics of claiming power, seeking to keep it and the degradation of the lower class but it's just a classic story about human tendency. What a system we've created
it's, amazing a project. great-job... !!!
This is very good,it is like a testament of this great man and, as a foreigner,I appreciate the fact that his voice is clearly audible,which unfortunately is not happening in his recordings of these past few years,in which his voice,due to his advancing age,is hardly audible.
The Greatest! While its extremely sad that he is in his final days and have ceased to appear publicy..I am also very grateful he live to 95+ years offering decade after decade of wisdom and moral guidance.
As a teacher I am doing my part. The more I spread this video online so people can watch it...the less there will be buying shares in the stock market. Math never fails !
Teachers are misinformed too. Shocker. Leftist education is crap today.
This ridiculous old academic has no idea WTF he is talking about when it comes to any field outside Linguistics!
So f you actually present Chomsky as a credible source on Economics to students, then you should have your Teacher's License revoked! smh

“I write about peace and criticize the barriers to peace; that’s easy. What’s harder is to create a better world… and what’s so exciting about at last visiting Venezuela is that I can see how a better world is being created.” Chomsky in 2006 on his good mate and book shill, Hugo Chavez.

@@carlosmendoza8312 *The very first time I happened to hear about Noam, in the late ‘80s, was in an article calling him ‘’the modern Socrates’’… I’m so glad that genius is still among us, and actually more lucid + active than ever in his nineties (although cancelled by world MSM for decades). In the meantime, we’ve seen him aging beautifully and even looking like more and more, during the Covid pandemic, some genuine 2020s’ physical reincarnation too of Plato himself. Such a pity and shame, though, he’s remained one of the last, genuine Homo SAPIENS among the huge majority of Homo….demens.
At this point, Come What May, guys.

@@carlosmendoza8312 Wow. Reference to Plato ?!! Didn't expect that here ! Haha. At least someone is on the right track 😂
I thought that the first bailout happened in 2009, Allan Greenspan was an economic genius, American Democracy was created by the people. I didn't know that it was run by corporations. Now, I think of our government as an extension of the movie The Godfather. Corporations are the godfathers, politicians are the bosses' informants, and soldiers are hitmen. Some soldiers learned these hard facts, (because they believed that they were the "freedom fighters," only to learn that they were lied to). Nothing worse than to be lied to.
You’re being lied to in this video
Exactly right. Called "America's Most Decorated Soldier," Major General Smedley Butler (1881-1940) realized he was lied to about war and wrote a short book called "War is a Racket" (1935). A must-read to understand the real purpose of our military.
@@caroler59 yet a high school dropout can still become a millionaire from self employment any day in America.
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz No, this is a brilliant summation of the truth. Reagan was installed to overturn the gains of the middle class achieved over the previous decades. Since then, corporations have succeeded in taking over almost the entire government (they have their sights on anything intended to serve the "public" and not themselves). Do you think the recent attacks on public education are really about the curriculums? No, they're intended to destroy public education and the taxes that pay for it.

Almost impossible to disagree with and if you do you are a fool or Propogandist.

@@xchen3079,
LOL This OP seems to miss the salient point that just because Chomsky can recite impressive sounding data, which may be accurate itself, that does not mean he actually understands this topic!
Any more than if Chomsky accurately recites last season's pro football stats, that does not makes him qualified to coach an NFL team!
Let's also remember that Chomsky became a multi-millionaire himself via the SAME For-Proft-Corporate-Capitalist System that he loves to bash so much! Like the ridiculous hypocrite that he is! 😀😀😀
Yours was the comment I was looking for! I can’t believe all of these people singing this socialist’s praises. Yes, he may identify the issue correctly, but as you and I know, he is in lock step with the elite ruling class!
@@mck1972the argument that “anti-capitalists being rich is hypocritical” is a stupid argument to make. We as individuals cannot possibly remove ourselves from the system we find ourselves in. If we can better our condition within our system, we should! To do so does not mean that we do not understand our system is unjust.
@MysticYT925 ,
LOLOL How can Chomsky possibly be justified in making millions & millions of dollars from a system that is so allegedly, ' unjust ', without ever refusing to accept any of this, ' unjust ', money himself?
Nor ever demonstrating that another more, ' just ', system can work better in real world conditions?
But merely keep reaping all the benefits of the same, ' unjust ', system all these years???
That IS Hypocritical!!
So don't Shoot the Messenger just because you yourself can't face the truth of the Message! smh
The take-home is that none of this is surprising. It isn’t a conspiracy. It’s pure self interest. Of course this is what happens. It would be shocking if it wasn’t happening.
The question for the rest of us is, what are we going to do about it?
