" !Chomsky's main argument in '#Hegemony or survival: America's quest for global dominance ' is that the socio-economic elite who control the US have pursued an "Imperial Grand Strategy" since the end of World War II in order to maintain global hegemony through #military, #political and #economic means. He argues that in doing so they have repeatedly shown a total #disreg… -

The essays in "9-11: Was there an alternative?" by !Chomsky were "practically the only counter-narrative (traced the history of American intervention in the Middle East and throughout Latin America as well as in Indonesia, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan) out there at a time when questions tended to be #drowned out by a chorus, led by the entire US Congress, of 'God Bless… -

In "Profit over people: #neoliberalism and global order" !Chomsky "argues about the doctrines and the development of a #pro-corporate system of economic and political policies that #restrict the public arena and support #private power.

Do you know that the #political thriller with superheroes '#Cla$$war was influenced by Rob Williams' love of people like Noam !Chomsky - he was reading 'Class Warfare' (1996) when he came up with the idea for the series - and Bill #Hicks, his fascination with #Nixon and American politics in general' ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cla$$war cc @question -

In "World orders, old and new" (1994) !Chomsky's "judgment of the 'new world order' (any new period of !history evidencing a dramatic #change in world political thought and the balance of power) foresees a growing #abyss between the rich and poor, both internationally and in the US." "devoting particular attention to events following the collapse of the #Soviet Union. He … -

"Z Communications is a #left-wing activist-oriented media group founded in 1986 ... It is, in broad terms, ideologically libertarian socialist, anticapitalist, and heavily influenced by participatory economics, although much of its content is focused on critical commentary of foreign affairs" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky_Archive cc @question -

Deterring Democracy: "also contains criticism aimed at the #Soviet Union and other communist states, but its major point centres on the fact that although the US claimed to support #freedom in the Cold War, it still supported #authoritarian regimes.

" 'The fateful triangle: US, Israel and the Palestinians' is mainly concentrated on the '1982 Lebanon War' (1982 - 1985) and the "pro-Zionist" bias of most American media and intellectuals, as Chomsky puts it", the 1999 edition incorporated "the Palestinian uprising (1987 - 1993), Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the ongoing peace process" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fateful_Triangle cc @question -

When you're interested in U.S. #state-sponsored #terrorism have a look at 'Counter-revolutionary violence - bloodbaths in fact and propaganda' (#1973) and you'll hear more about "the 'My Lai Massacre' (1968), devoted one section to 'Operation Speedy Express' (1968 - 1969), and another to the 'Phoenix Program' (1967 - 1973)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Revolutionary_Violence_%E2%80%93_Bloodbaths_in_Fact_%26_Propaganda cc @question -

!Chomsky writes: 'Quite generally, what grounds are there for supposing that those whose claim to #power is based on #knowledge and #technique will be more benign in their exercise of power than those whose claim is based on #wealth or #aristocratic origin?

What do you think about " !Chomsky's view in #1968: US policy (in the #Vietnam War (1956-1975)) was to destroy the #nationalist movements in the South Vietnamese #peasantry (rather than to defend South Vietnam from North Vietnamese aggression). He holds that the former was accomplished rather successfully even if at the expense of the latter." ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Power_and_the_New_Mandarins cc @question -

Do you agree with the "criticisms of 'The Sound Pattern of English' that the so-called #phonological processes alleged to be part of a speaker's competence are really only the successive phonetic transformations of the original historical lexical items. !Chomsky and Halle appear to have replaced diachronic processes with purely #synchronic ones" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_Pattern_of_English -
