New World Notes - Noam Chomsky on U.S. Politics and Economy
This week on New World Notes: radio program #204, January 31, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst excerpts recent remarks by Professor Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky focuses on how the government serves the rich elite. We see this clearly in the gap between what the public wants (jobs, safety net) and the public policies we get (deficit reduction).
Chomsky also discusses how the West and the USSR--for different reasons--endlessly proclaimed the same lie: that Soviet totalitarianism was "socialism." With the same false propaganda being cranked out by both sides, socialism never had a chance.
Chomsky offers shrewd and interesting reflections on America today.
His remarks are taken from several sources. Audio courtesy of the podcast "Federal Legislative", Virtual Renderings' audiocollage "Thought Crimes: OWS Memos 11-11", and the film "Human Resources".
