Comment in question 10-10-2008 16:38 Chomsky on West IGNORING culture Read what outstnaidng Jewish Americanscholar Professor Noam Chomsky (MIT) says about the culture of lying (see: Der Spiegel INTERVIEW WITH NOAM CHOMSKY 'The United States Has Essentially a One-Party System' ), QUOTE: "Chomsky: The intellectual world is deeply conformist. Hans Morgenthau, who was a founder of realist international relations theory, once condemned what he called “the conformist subservience to power” on the part of the intellectuals. George Orwell wrote that nationalists, who are practically the whole intellectual class of a country, not only do not disapprove of the crimes of their own state, but have the remarkable capacity not even to see them. That is correct. We talk a lot about the crimes of others. When it comes to our own crimes, we are nationalists in the Orwellian sense." Guest |
