quote:
Some polls are pretty amazing. There was one conducted in the South right before the presidential elections. Just Southern whites, I think, were asked about the economic plans of the two candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Southern whites said they preferred Romney’s plan, but when asked about its particular components, they opposed every one. Well, that’s the effect of good propaganda: getting people not to think in terms of their own interests, let alone the interest of communities and the class they’re part of.

It is pretty frustrating that so many people do think the way Chomsky says. But the fact is that the left's economic ideas don't work worth a damn, and they aren't working any better this time either.
People don't really have a choice. They can believe the Democrats, who claim to be for the working man; or they can believe the Republicans, who rather foolishly in my opinion, are ignoring the working man.
I say that the GOP ignores the working man because they should be on the side of increasing abundance, and this would be a boon to all people, especially themselves. But they aren't. Chomsky could really be referring to the surrender monkey wing of the GOP party that keeps they noses stuck up Obama's ass.
The Democrat party now has control of big business. They control the banks. They are the ones that the guys like Chomsky rail against. The richest of the rich are Democrats, not Republicans. So, why do the Democrats get all the credit for being for the little guy? Free stuff. And people are happy to take the free stuff, but this is like poison. It will ruin their ability to be self-reliant. It will make them slaves of the state. For opposing this, the GOP is called mean-spirited and engaging in class warfare. Too many on the GOP side will accommodate and validate this view, and vote with Democrats. That's the big problem.
Chomsky is a left wing hack.
