The force pushing humanity towards destructive wars and climate catastrophe is “very simple,” Noam Chomsky says. It’s “the word we’re not allowed to think about called: capitalism.”

In this interview with The Breach’s publisher Dru Oja Jay, Chomsky explains why our current period of capitalism is particularly harsh. He also lays out why co-ops are the basis for collective movements and says that organized, active groups of workers can make gains against the system.

“It’s difficult, of course, class war is not easy.”

The Breach’s full interview with Chomsky also covers NATO, the war in Ukraine, why capitalism is a “suicide pact” and what type of organizing can create a better world. Read it here: breachmedia.ca/noam-chomsky-on-canadian-war-crimin…

    The workplace is where we trade our daily lives for a pittance from profiteers while the profits of our labor are used to increase our subjection. The workplace is the key to our power, and we have to get organized to use it for our own working people's benefit.
  • A lot of what Chomsky says regarding practical action comes down to what we do in our immediate surroundings, our communities and workplaces.
  • Read Chomsky's article "The Soviet Union versus Socialism" published about 35 years ago (available at his website)

    Getting rid of greed is the only solution for capitalism. Co-ops can be good if they are not run greed. Power and control over others would have to stop too and people would have to be in tune with nature. Knowing truth and peace would help.

    For once I agree with his historical analysis and how he destroys the fantasy of politically and historically ignorant young people who want to revert to Stalinism or Maoism ! Good job !!
