    For all those who are fascinated and inspired by this great old man; do not stop at that. A C T. Don't just share the video online. Instead, do get involved where you can. That is the message of the interview. No one will stand up for you. Everyone has to stand up for themselves.

      With respect, listening to Chomsky has rarely if ever been about action. While I admire his evident civic virtue, he seems to be mostly content to provide an information service re geopolitcs to fake progressives on the largely fake left. I too long for more action, but doubt anything will grow from Chomsky. Give me an MLK anyday over the commentariat, regardless of how intelligent it appears to be!

      @@PK-re3lu You mean Martin Luther King? You should be suspicious of rhetoriticians, of the charismatic and the oratorically gifted. Such skills can just as easily invigorate destructive forces as progressive ones. Chomsky presents facts in a calm and dignified way which is a far more persuasive way to go.
      Chomsky's message has always been a call to action, just listen to this damn video! But he has never been prescriptive because there is no prescription, the world is far too complicated and unpredictable to lay out Commandments. Organise, educate, tell the truth.

      @@chomskysarmy3965 I remember watching an interview where Chomsky said he can't bear to listen to MLK speeches because of its appeal to emotions and not for understanding. And there's an interview in which he said people like MLK and Rosa Parks are just riding the crest of some wave. The wave are the people who worked on the ground, got beat up by the police, organized meetings and talks during the civil rights movement. And I think he's right. We tend to focus our attention to so called leaders often forgetting the people who do the real hard work, people whose names won't be written in history books.

If we accept the challenge and have the courage to face facts, to unify and to work towards real progress we can achieve it. Let's frickin' go people!

    47.00 The anti-semitism issue may have been a good and big news story, but was nowhere on the electorate's radar.
    Despite the strong showing for Labour in 2017 (they came from nowhere to narrowly missing a win) some traditional Labour stronghold seats were lost to the Tories. In 2017 Labour did well among students and young urban middle class left, but support was starting to slip among the northern working class. The issue was not any of Labour's policies as such, but Labour's failure to support their natural constituency; the working class, and their decision in the EU Referendum, which had been to Leave.
    By the 2019 Gen Election, Corbyn had tried to take both sides and pleased neither, and nor had he addressed the one and only reason why the working class voted Leave which was not race, but the free-movement of people in the EU. There had been consequent unemployment in the UK among the semi-skilled and unskilled workforce, such jobs(it was felt) having been overrun by amiable aliens. Corbyn never resolved the conflict of mindset between the middle-class Labour "Left" and the real working class Labour Left, whose imperatives are quite different. So in December 2019 he did reasonably well in middle-class leftist areas, but managed to lose Labour most of their natural power base in the north, their worst showing since I believe 1935
