Noam Chomsky: America Hates Its Poor
 

Linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky on our country's brutal class warfare -- and why it's ultimately so one-sided.


Full Story http://www.alternet.org/visions/noam...oor?paging=off

"An article that recently came out in Rolling Stone, titled ?Gangster Bankers: Too Big to Jail,? by Matt Taibbi, asserts that the government is afraid to prosecute powerful bankers, such as those running HSBC. Taibbi says that there?s ?an arrestable class and an unarrestable class.? What is your view on the current state of class war in the U.S.?

Well, there?s always a class war going on. The United States, to an unusual extent, is a business-run society, more so than others. The business classes are very class-conscious?they?re constantly fighting a bitter class war to improve their power and diminish opposition. Occasionally this is recognized.

We don?t use the term ?working class? here because it?s a taboo term. You?re supposed to say ?middle class,? because it helps diminish the understanding that there?s a class war going on."

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I am not a fan of "Noammm".

actually the racist is chomsky himself with his veiled attack on capitalism, & his portrayal of the wealthy as being at "war" with their employees/customers. in every single economic system ever created, there are rich & poor, going back to egyptians. Only difference is that in the capitalist world, private citizens wield the power of capital while in chomskys dreams, only the bureaucrats control the means of production.

Time for a coin flip?
