The end of the EURO???

[antagon]

Is Noam Chomsky a loser or frustrated incompetent?

"The war against working people should be understood to be a real war...Specifically in the US, which happens to have a highly class-conscious business class...And they have long seen themselves as fighting a bitter class war, except they don't want anybody else to know about it."

Seems like a fairly accurate assessment to me.

Every social policy and regulation brings good outcomes to some and bad outcomes to others.

Class, that is to say economic class, plays an enormous part in how one views the benefit or problems with those policies.

This is so obvious that one must blind oneself to reality to pretend that class isn't describing an important part of our collective reality.

Who here is prepared to prove otherwise?

i am prepared to argue that class war in the US (and capitalistic systems in general) is a figment. my 'proof' is in the concept of 'rags to riches', which is unique to this system, and, speaking in ideals, precludes the desire to value class over valuing money.

your point is taken, however, that the impressions on policies and all are shaped by our class. but, isnt that perspective, rather than 'class war'?

Chomsky has read and parroted Marx and is pandering to 60's-70's era socialists that needed justification for a wide range of U.S. government growth during that time.

Now the Bill is Due, Mr. Chomsky.

Who will pay?
