Chomsky - Taking It Back

One of my favorites, Noam Chomsky is currently on a speaking tour.

"I would like to see a society ultimately based on free association of a people who live cooperatively, control their own institutions, their communities, their workplaces ... and a move towards elimination of wage labor"

"The helplessness measure keeps rising, people feel they can't do anything, public opinion no longer has an effect on public policy."

Chomsky wants people to wrest control of their lives away from corporations, government and whatever other institutions have a claim on them, and "reconstruct the basis for a functioning democratic society." Sounds good to me, "fight the power." - The Isley Brothers
