no they are not antique. he has much to say. your head is modern only, junky, satisfied with tin when there is gold for a lil more effort cut off from the human historical flow. that is weird stuff man. it takes too little for you. you are quickly satisified. it dos not take much for you
you will blow the planet with toys without the wholesomeness of being connected to the whole.

Fast paced changes for Chompsky to update his speech above :
Iran is likely to be invited for the first time to international talks with the US and Russia
over the Syrian conflict, the US says.
Top envoys from the US, Russia, Arab and European nations are taking part.
[/quote]
Chompsky's theoretical basis and frame explains all like that...all you list.
you speak as if what he explains there does not explain Iran now being accepted by the USA in Syria talks.
but that is the wrong way to put it..the USA now accepts Iran. they cant say no now. they are beaten, checkmated and cannot call the tune or arrange the music and direct how to sing the tune.
look Chompsky explains the growth of a diverse multi polar world right there as that development is growing right before your eyes even as you dismiss him..in the talks over Syria. Putin is making sure of that. but look at how Chompsky arrived at his conclusion
chompsky is making a mistake and you have not caught it.I will give you another chance to spot it

It will need a proper listen to.
But as I pointed not a word mentioned re Social media as the new weapon of Change,
as in Egypt uprising and the Occupy movement in Spain

no it is not..social media. it is a tool, useful and in certain conditions it has proved crucial. but social media is electric and the power can be shut off...or shut down even if there is power. there are instruments out there than short the net in toto...or in spots that makes it just about total..like the Russians made all communications other than their own useless in Syria.
the social media may be used but dependence on it totally is not strategic. the social media is also infiltrated by great quantities of propaganda and misleading of the people. indeed it is fraught with danger from that angle, full of traps for people who can be framed and arrested by exposure to and in the social media.
there is likely all manner of set up movement by the spy agencies to trap people in the social media. indeed the current social media must be treated with the same skepticism that progressive people have applied to all media in the past. lives depend on such skepticism and care
