Chomsky is a brilliant analyst

"Unlike a previous reviewer, I have listened to and understood Chomsky's analysis of the exercise of power by the American global empire. Unfortunately, the distinction between the American Republic (forged by and for the working people of the United States) and the American Corporate Empire (forged by and for political and corporate elites, who fear the workings of the Republic) is an important distinction lost on many. Chomsky speaks as a proud believer in the dream and promise of the Republic, and is a devastatingly logical analyst, exposing the ruthless exploitation of the Republic by hypocritical representatives of the Empire. As for our freedoms -- These are not a "gift" given us by any government, as some might have us believe. We were born free -- and a government, especially one not elected but selected by elites -- can only take our freedoms away."
