The big difference between Chomsky and Limbaugh is that Chomsky theorizes. Limbaugh says his opinion (spouts).
"The 'corporatization of America' during the past century [has been] an attack on democracy."
"The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations."
" The U.S. will not permit constructive programs in its own domains, so it must ensure that they are destroyed elsewhere to terminate " the threat of a good example".
" The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people. "
"I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom."
"Democracy requires dissolution of private power. As long as there is private control over the economic system, talk about democracy is a joke. You can't even talk about democracy until you have democratic control of industry, commerce, banking, everything..."
The 'conservatives' who are calling for an end to school lunches for hungry children are also demanding an increase in the budget for the Pentagon, which was established in the late 1940s in its current form because - as the business press was kind enough to tell us - high tech industry cannot survive in a "pure, competitive, unsubsidized, 'free enterprise' economy," and the government must be its "saviour."
"If the Nuremberg laws were applied today, then every Post-War American president would have to be hanged."
ALL of the above are Chomsky "opinions"...not backed up with "meticulous footnoting of source"
Chomsky and Limbaugh are the same thing.
