!Chomsky "noted a similar situation that occurred in a suburb of Boston in the early 21st century, when a multinational decided to #close down a manufacturing facility because it was not producing sufficient #profit. When the worker's trade #union attempted to #purchase the factory, the multinational #refused, for reasons that Chomsky speculated were due to #class consciousness" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_%28book%29#How_to_spread_Occupy_and_democratize_society cc @question -

"As such, !Chomsky advocates that communities take a different approach to the upcoming primary #elections; instead of simply listening to speeches given by the politicians hoping to be elected, they should get together in democratic #councils and #discuss what issues they want addressing", "One way to go at it is just to elect YOUR #own representatives.

In "After 30 years of class war": !Chomsky "contrasts it with the #TeaParty movement, which he argues only represents the interests of a small #Euro-American minority, being backed by the #corporate support that Occupy rejects. He then draws comparisons between Occupy and the #ArabSpring, arguing that the latter had been far more successful in bringing down governments be… -

In 2007 !Chomsky "concludes that the vast majority of US citizens also support a 2-state solution (1) (also supported by the international community - except for #Israel and the #US) and the end of the unprecedented levels of US aid given to Israel, and could, with the necessary education and organisation, become a powerful force for !peace."

"The #Pentagon banned the book '#Interventions' (a collection of 44 op-ed articles, post-9/11, 2002-2007) from its Guantanamo Bay prison because it might negatively 'impact... good order and discipline.' !Chomsky replied that, 'This happens sometimes in #totalitarian regimes.'" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventions cc @question -

"These techniques of 'intellectual #self-defense' are, !Chomsky claims, essential for people to understand #their power over governments, which relies on #their consent to govern and he uses the example of the changing 'role of women' in modern society to demonstrate how the #questioning of these underlying #biases can lead to #real social change." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Ambitions#Seven:_Intellectual_Self-Defense cc @question -
