If you only have time to watch a documentary about America

Noam Chomsky, who is still alive in the West, and perhaps the most important scholar of thought and action, made it clear why the United States went from the golden age of the sixties to the present.

The people affected by Noam Chomsky's decades of struggle include many reflectors who can or are already changing the West (including Edward Snowden).

If you care about current affairs. If you want to understand the true center of power in the United States. If you want to...

Comment: Requiem for the American Dreams

The short essays I wrote in school, although it feels like an exam for elementary school students, are still kept. Maybe someday you can hand in homework or something. [Funny]
    By the way, I actually don’t really like this way of taking the theories of other economics/philosophers as common sense and imposing my own theories on others.

Who makes the rules? Who obeys the rules?

Many times, many people ignore the basic rules of social operation, are confused by this dazzling world, and lose their basic moral conscience and reason.

Creating consumers is a good reason to let the public behave themselves, ignore the public, and gradually lose the motivation to think. This is the so-called "captive" or the so-called "slave" of consumerism.

What kind of stupid words are "people do not serve themselves, heaven and earth die", but it is a true portrayal of many...

Chomsky's 2015 "Requiem for the American Dream"

I recently watched Chomsky's 2015 "Requiem for the American Dream", and I have a lot of thoughts, so try to write down a few points.

Let me talk about Chomsky first. His insight into language and his understanding of power and politics made him a rare and true public intellectual. In China, it is known that this title has long been rotten, and praising power is the cause of its degeneration. As early as 1967, Chomsky's "The Responsibility of Intellectuals" clearly stated: Intellectuals...

The ten guidelines are not all

Elite politics, democratic politics, authoritarian politics, minority elite politics, majority tyranny...We dare not say which one is better, but the wheel of history has run over, whether it is the disappearance of the ancient Roman republic or the labor movement of the world. Has a bloody past. Can the future be determined? Is history accidental or inevitable? We are only in the process of development. When the post-modern society arrives, we hope to become clearer and clearer, but we know...

Chomsky believes that the current state of the United States is the result of the concentration of wealth and power, which is derived from the practice of society by 10 principles: reduce democracy; shape ideology; redesign economy; shift burden; attach solidarity; run regulators; engineer elections; keep rabbits in line; rmanufacture consent; marginalize the...

"Professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and university professors are protected to form a relatively stable middle class. They will also be unemployed, but their income is relatively high, and the possibility of rebuilding their lives is very high. However, the working class is not protected. Once unemployed They will be...

Chomsky's wise and rational voice is particularly valuable in the current extreme emotional political ecology of the United States. Regardless of political beliefs, based on facts, objective and rational discussion and speculation should ultimately be the right way to solve...
