Abby martin noam chomsky biography

US policy has shifted far to the right? Has he heard of Obergefell? Do you see theocracy on the horizon? Lets just say I want the drugs he is taking. The right existed long before the rise of money power and the arch-revolutionary Voltaire even recognized capitalism as a progressive force that superseded, as he perceived it, religious animosity.

Sorry private power is on the left almost all the early French Enlightenment thinkers thought so. We need the state to restrain capitalism? What is Chomsky then? Nothing other than an orthodox marxist. The state will magically wither away when the market is tamed or destroyed. But what is the next step? The ruin of oligarchy is the ruin of democracy; the same disease magnified and intensified by liberty overmasters democracy —the truth being that the excessive increase of anything often causes a reaction in the opposite direction; and this is the case not only in the seasons and in vegetable and animal life, but above all in forms of government.

As Plato elaborates proletariat lust for money leads to them robbing the oligarchs, which in turn sets the precedent for the demagogue to rob the people of their possessions. Chomsky really is delusional there is no example in history of a democratic system of government that did not descend into anarchy at this site pardon the term , vote buying, gerrymandering and ultimately tyranny.

Rome and Athens are prime examples of this, but there are many others as Aristotle points out in his Politics. In short democracy is oligarchy taken to its logical conclusion.
