This is totally unrelated but I just like this meme.

It's Tucker! He's not rocking the black-and-gold bowtie, I am dissapoint.

Tucker always reminds me of Donald Sutherland in Animal House.

although personally i do find him an extremist in that sense. I would like his writings on the media to be more circulated than they are.
I agree with most of this. Noam is an extremist, period. But a healthy democracy should make some room for radical viewpoints. Plus, by approaching issues from such an entirely different perspective, he offers a lot of interesting insights the rest of the country should at least consider. Now, if 60% of the populace started agreeing with Noam across the board, we'd have a problem.

I think if more people knew about him and his arguments, minds would change about history, politics and economics pretty quickly.
He and Walter Block are the life of any party.

you need building blocks for all major ideas/observations. at the LEAST, you can think about it along these lines
No. You're just wrong. Your simplistic"building blocks" actually retard nuanced debate and thought.

i see the world in shades of grey, but if you have no principles, you have nothing to say
Your dichotomy has little to do with "principles".

Can you name some of these "major ideas/observations" that DIDN'T have some "building blocks" to them?

how?

it's not a dichotomy
but if you ever get into world-building and philosophy created by contemporary super geniuses, it typically boils down to binary though
just fwiw

Hitch, rest his his soul....
Salman Rushdie
Gore Vidal
But Hitch was da'man.....and became very much a fan of neo-conservativism late in life, inexplicably. Mostly due to his revulsion of organized religion and the Bush administrations willingness to take on the Jihadists....

noam believes in anarchy under an organized, federal structure and believe libertarianism is a form of tyranny
like i said, his views are hypocritical. his whole schtick is like one big philosophy attempting to gather all talking points/memes of liberal-progressive thought. he uses big words and uses confusing wording to never derive a coherent, single philosophy
he celebrates socialist societies then claims he supports freedom. he calls limited government tyranny and supports anarchism...under a larger federal structure eliminating liberty and forcing a form of organization
good lord
. Chomsky has always been interesting to me, though, even if I don't care for his views all the time.Posted on 2/17/14 at 6:59 am to SlowFlowPro
quote:
in terms of socio-economic-political theories, there are 2 main groupings:
1. those who see humans as independent and capable of making their own decisions
2. those who see humans as sheep who need herding
I simply do not accept your premise (semantically, it is an editorial statement, and in terms of practicality it is not accurate). And, yes, the foregoing can be characterized as a "dichotomy".
Further, they are not really "building blocks" of any theory or philosophy. They're a simplistic, highly subjective and personal characterization of differing theories.
