Noam Chomsky Q&A in Budapest, Hungary

From (http://www.lehetmasavilag.hu/chomsky.html): \"Noam Chomsky, author, linguist, university professor and political activist, joined the \'Another World is Possible! Network\' in the Kossuth Club, Budapest, for a Sunday afternoon of questions and answers on today\'s most vital questions. The video of the debate can be downloaded in English opposite. Over the two hours, Chomsky delved into the ideology of the New World Order, placing the onus on local activists to get organised and deal with the issues important to them - while keeping the movements decentralised and egalitarian. Ideas raised incuded: - How can disorganised, decentralised movements take on the centralised power of the multinationals and political elites? - What is George Bush\'s agenda with \'the New Europe\'? - What hope for democracy? - How does consumerism act as a tool of public control? - What tactics can the local - global movements use to effect real change? - How does the mainstream media frame our view of the world? Since taking an initial stance against the Vietnam War, Chomsky has become one of the glob-crit movement\'s key critical thinkers, condemning US foreign policy and its support of anti-democratic, often murderous regimes and its failure to live up to even its own rhetoric on freedom and justice.\"
