I like Chomsky when I'm quoting him for leftists to prove a point.

But I think he's a neoliberal gatekeeper. Supposedly, he was the most watched man by the NSA, and that may be. But all of his policy prescriptions tell you to go along with the system as long as it gives you more bread and circus. I'm absolutely suspicious of the man while reinvigorated by some of his critiques.

He's extremely deluded. He claims there is some vast international "neoliberal" (a literally made up term by the way) conspiracy to "steal" wealth from the government (as if government can even create wealth in the first place) and give it to private companies all over the world. It's total bullshit that helps corrupt governments destroy the private sector in the name of socialism or "da people."

His voice is pretty nice though.

He detests current governments because they are not commie enough for his liking, but he refuses to accept government itself as the problem because he knows communism is only possible with strong government.

WTF is happening to /pol? Chomsky is positively drunk on Godless communism. How can you not see this? Are we seriously coming to a time when /pol refuses to recognize one of the world's foremost card-carrying commie assholes as nothing more than a communist?

Tell me now. Have the summerfags changed us this much?

>what is wealth inequality?

If you increase the earnings of select group of individuals you can easily increase the GDP of a country without actually increasing its standard of living. See Brazil for a good example of this fact.

Tariffs are a huge state intervention. Only moronic libertarians that unironically worship the constitution think that it isn't. The United States was founded on a corrupt interpretation of classical liberalism.
>>
>>79795713
he doesnt practice what he preaches

>>79797443
They are state intervention no doubt, but a government is first and foremost there to protect its people. Tariffs ensure that the people are protected without harming them as well. This is not like income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, today, which can be said to help people, but harm the citizens as well.

how is this a bad example? Too big to fail is a direct result of a market system. Markets eventually create monopolies.
>>
>>79798476
The irony here is that Sowell has dedicated his entire career to avoiding honest work. The only difference between him and Chomsky is that no university would be stupid enough to keep him on the payroll for very long, which is why he now works as a professional shill (see his comments on Trump for proof.)

He's one of the sources of the cancer that's killing the west. Chomsky and Howard Zinn are the patient zeros of cultural relativism and the whole 'how can we decry other nations if we've done bad things in the past/are currently doing bad things' business.

Pic related is an example of a chomskyite in the real world, fresh from cuckbook.

>>79798610
The issue is that in a free market the too big to fail banks would've collapsed, and either been restructured by competent people, or smaller regional banks would have taken their place. The problem is that by bailing out these "too big to fail" banks is that their systemic issues of poor lending are still there.
>>
>>79798633
I would have to disagree with him on his opinions of Trump to feel the same as you do.
>>
>>79798760
Zinn was far, far worse. Chomsky is just obsessed with muh neoliberalism. Zinn was wholeheartedly committed to perpetuating self-hate among (white) Americans. His shitty book basically made American history out to be one genocide after another, the blame for which was always placed squarely on the shoulders of white americans regardless of economic class.
>>
>>79795713
everything he says is complete bullshit
>>
>>79798833
while i agree with not bailing out the banks you understand it would have lead to a deep global depression right? Can hardly blame the government for bailing them out when its either that or dealing with a revolting population. Imagine if the government had set a limit to how much assets/capital a single bank could have access to before too big to fail ever became a thing. Wouldn't you market cucks be crying wolf bc 'state intervention' yet its the free market which lead to too big to fail in the first place.
>>
>>79797740
This. He was a pretty shit linguist. What he did do, like all in the vanguard of their fields, was being a rigor not previously realized. Much like any other groundbreaker in any other field. His work, while a failure overall, contributed greatly to linguistics in general and machine languages in particular.
>>
>>79798899
He didn't offer any critique of Trump's economic strategy though. He just Godwinned an entire magazine issue through character assassination.
>>
>>79795713
He is either a liar or woefully misinformed re: politics. Saw him speak years ago and led entire, impressionable Univ. of Florida (sizable) audience to believe Brazil is the paragon of successful democracy and progress. True, it is- however, the image he projected was one of beauty and the pinnacle of brotherhood of man.

What the fuck? If you run into him, have him do me a favor check out Liveleak and get back to me. He should stick with linguistics,

You're saying that a life-long anarchist doesn't know that the government itself is the issue? OK.
>>
>>79799303
Banks have acted incredibly risky because they know governments have been and will be there to bail them out. We never should've bailed out the savings institutions back in the day to begin with.
