Community, solidarity, popular support and pressure. That's pretty much it, how it's done. No superman, tony stark, or avengers. Just Us. Prof. Chomsky is the truth.
All of that is true but it also takes people in power advocating your cause, a mountain of money and something to offer all those in political power that trumps the corporate conglomerates pulling power. One battle at a time, it's hard to get everyone behind several social issues all at once. Usually one issue at a time which takes decades, for example Legalize/decriminalization of Cannabis or African American rights, or women's rights (most of which is still ongoing) Currently immigrant rights, abortion/contraception rights, border disputes, government spending, government policy m, military policy, military spending, international policy, international spending, international aid. It goes on and on. US healthcare potentially changing to what all other developed countries have (free healthcare, paternal leave, annual paid leave) For example a friend of mine had a kid and was using contraception and was denied Vasectomy numerous times, their medical bills for following the law by having their kid in the hospital cost them $20,000 Imagine that, if they had their kid at home they could be charged with child endangerment.
30:30 he’s saying people were hopeful in the 30’s. Well what he fails to mention is one important detail, there was enough resources to rebuild the society whereas now civ is so far along we’re extracting everything that’s been an easy job now extracting will only get more expensive or we’re about there. Well there’s good reason to not have their same optimism because we can’t do what they did with resources getting too expensive.
Thanksalot for this interview!
Fascinating interview! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for posting.
This is great, the more we can get Noam Chomsky to talk about things like this in such great detail while he’s still alive and well, the better.

Please talk about Klaus Schwab, the plutocrat is the literal modern day spitting image of a Bond villain.

Never herd of this guy😮
How polite and gentle Chomsky is, when faced with the interviewer's struggle to find the right questions, eh.
