Noam Chomsky on Green Anarchism

what kind of an anarchist drinks coke (world's worst plastic polluter) while speaking with chomsky about going green

Nice episode. Good questions.

Organize the people, unionize the workers.

give me a break, noam; if the repubs weren't the bad guys, democrats would have to be the bad guys

*exasperated sigh*...

Political parties represent Homo sapiens self-interested human tribalism and the self-interested state as an authoritarian phenomenon, which is evolved to compete in the evolutionary arms race, and where being born of and compelled by mindless indifferent natural selection produces a regressive, reactionary, violent, and theocratic biological phenomenon. The ethnocentrism, monotheism, and ultra-nationalism endemic to a unique exceptionalistic tribal identity (i.e. white Christian nationalism), and that represents oligarchy and right-wing populism, are also represented institutionally, where tribal identity is defended and reproduced through church-state system authoritarian institutional hierarchy demonstrating militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture. Each institution is required to make an authoritarian contribution to the authoritarian totality, where nativist contributions are made willingly, and maintain gatekeeping positions in authoritarian hierarchy, and where other contributes are coerced.

Endemic to the faux-secularization of the church-state system, Western liberalism that manufactures consent, and the contrived nation-state, is reductionist individualism and a blame-the-individual industrial complex, which is erected upon the false first church-state principle of god-decreed equality, and then processed through the structural violence of contractual libertarianism in a fake meritocracy, where tribal identity oligarchy perceives the multiracial multicultural wage-labor working class as a dehumanized morally deficit lecherous out-group identity, deserving of lesser fates, religious and libertarian moralizing, and the systemic austerity and artificial scarcity that funnels wealth and resources back up to the rightful oligarchic owners, including to the national security state that defends them.

Human tribalism is an irrational instinctive biological phenomenon, which is honed and curated to reproduce an authoritarian phenomenon, and is therefore incapable of performing transformative system change, or accommodating any external attenuating requirements that might be imposed upon it, i.e. physics-governed climate and environmental determinism. A phenomenon where the anatomy of authoritarian instincts are expressed through moralizing and demonizing, through the synthesis of narcissism, elitism, and entitlement, including through sociopathy, social Darwinism, and psychopathy, where authoritarian oligarchy rules through the structural violence enabled by false first principles, mythology, propaganda, and delusions, made a belligerent jackbooted material reality through ideological fundamentalism. Authoritarians will infamously drag the entire system down with them while defending the ideological fundamentalism they are erected upon (American neoliberalism and libertarianism), where the anthill of oligarchy is first elevated and made secure by the structural violence of capitalism and primitive accumulation, but then the internal contradictions, extraction, and zombified austerity compounds with interest, and the system races to the bottom and implodes.

The human condition is going to maintain the status quo of a freight train on rails, and drive over a cliff at full speed. The solution to the human condition would require implementing the virtual polar opposite of every causal element responsible for Homo sapiens origin story, and that currently determines it, which negates and provides a direct replacement for mindless indifferent natural selection, self-interested human tribalism and the self-interested state, and the economic structural violence that coerces working class compliance in service to the worst people in the world, whom are regressive, reactionary, theocratic, authoritarian, violent, pathological, and deluded.

People should have their hair on fire; people should be flooding the streets in protest; and people should be refusing to give reactionary fealty to illicit church-state system/faux-national identity/imperialist authority. Only one thing will save humanity, and that is the immediate unilateral implementation of global systems-based science-based eco-socialism, which reverse engineers Homo sapiens in sustainable homeostasis with environmental determinism.

Totally lost respect for this guy. Just propping up the corrupt system at this point

"You all are so fucked so try to work within the system" man this is not the chomsky i once admired. Id rather take hedges' advice: we might fail but we at least will save our integrity if we revolt

If you're lucky enough... you live past your usefulness... good work Noam.

He's gotten grumpier with the facial hair. Still someone I shudder to disagree with. He's such an intellectual and moral giant.

Fuck this old hack. Get Cornell West on here.
