EU may fall apart due to failed neo-liberal policies – Noam Chomsky to RT
https://www.rt.com/news/368761-chomsky-eu-collapse-trump/


"Chomsky said that failed “neo-liberal policies of the past generation” influenced such a significant rise in popularity of the right-wing parties. “These programs were designed in such a way so that they would lead to stagnation and even decline for a large part, actually, majority of the population. They also severely undermine democracy."

In Europe, whoever is elected, no matter where they are in the political spectrum, the policies are going to be the same, because they are not determined by the policies in their countries.”

France’s right-wing presidential candidate Marine Le Pen stands a good chance of winning the elections and thus likely initiating the so-called Frexit, Chomsky said in an interview with RT on Wednesday.

According to Chomsky, the agenda of such groups as Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis’s DiEM25, which seeks to preserve the EU by overcoming problems within it, is a “more constructive approach.”

CHOMSKY ON TRUMP

"Chomsky also discussed the agenda of US President-elect Donald Trump, who has been dubbed an “anti-establishment” candidate – the idea Chomsky doesn’t agree with.

“Take a look at Trump and who he has appointed for the cabinet. Secretary of Treasury, most important position, determines what happens in the economy, is he anti-establishment? He comes from Goldman Sachs.
Stock values in financial institutions that “escalated to the sky” when Trump was elected also “show how anti-establishment he is,” Chomsky said."

Just because you throw a bunch of stuff into boiling water doesn't mean you'll end up with a good soup. No common language, no common culture, no common interests. Not to mention they've been at war with each other off and on for millennia.

The EU will collapse.


The US, not so much.

The EU will collapse, you're both right.

But what do you think about Chomsky's take on Trump's decision to nominate a member of Goldman Sachs as Secretary of Treasury? ("the most important position, which determines what happens in the economy")

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Chomsky is engaging in the most shallow of political theater.



Do you have the links to him bashing Hillary for her secret speeches to Goldman Sachs?



Did you know that the [nominated] guy is a supply-sider? That he, like everyone else (invested) has already benefitted from the election of Trump?

Trump is able to go to the businesses now with the carrot and stick. "We," the people, own the government again. We will reward you with a better tax and regulatory environment if you stay and, if you go, we will punish you...

So far, I am not alarmed as to his tenure as is the Left. I did not vote for him.

Unlike the Left (and the uber right) I am willing to wait for his first 100 days to see what he will actually do. I honestly don't think that it will be to unleash the SS on the US...



But that's just me.

My feeling is that Trump won't prove himself to be the racist that he pretended to be,
and that he'll also keep his promisses re foreign politics, as much as the Congress or whatever will allow him.

But I still have doubts about his (lack of of or not) allegiance to the 1%, the neoliberal class, the globalist movement, as opposed to looking after the little guy.
I wonder if any presidential candidate was free of such influences or allegiances.

Finger crossed that you'll be right


((I'm not an american, but since the US is still THE superpower that sets the tone to a lot of the things that happen worldwide, it's natural to be interested))

You cannot judge him by the framing of the American press.



The only true way to judge him is by what he does once he puts his hand on the Bible and is sworn in.

All else is conjecture.
