[lbo-talk] BHO & working-class whites

[B.]

In other words, I was trying to point out that Chomsky
often emphasizes the US public's backwards attitudes
about a lot of things, like their off-the-charts
religiosity, their not being interested in affairs
outside their own country, and other stuff.

He has mentioned that over the course of his life he
has realized he's fallen into a "kind of natural
division of labor" wherein he provides facts, and
others (organizers) use them. He isn't an organizer
himself; he's someone who provides the ammo for
others. And he has often conceded that's "all" he is. 

Like he's said, he isn't Amnesty Int'l, and his
"faith" in people is limited. The 1st page of Hegemony
or Survival says the human race could & might easily
very well kill itself, and sometime soon.
