Chomsky identifies that the warning signs were there, with the roots of the protests in Tahrir square in labour movements and protests taking place in Egypt as early as June 2008. He admits "You asked if I predicted it, and no I didn't. But it's now happening worldwide." As with most in the West, neither man saw it coming, but both agree on the causes of the global cycle of protest and revolution. "Democracy has become petrified"; the increasing ossification of social mobility, and the increasing inequities of wealth and power, are all the result of the failure of Western democracy. According to Ali, "we are witnessing that democracy is becoming more and more denuded of content. It's like an empty shell. This is what is angering people. They feel 'whatever we do, whatever we vote for, nothing changes."

I can't believe this video has so few views and comments. Assange has been making headlines the world over for many years. I didn't even know he'd had his own podcast. How did this not meet my eye any sooner?

[@jacpratt8608]

Before this series was on RT. Now its on Journeyman Pictures which appears to also have a lot of other videos on the subject.
