![Noam Chomsky Trilogy
Bringing 3rd World Home and Manufacturing Consent (Tape 2 of 2)](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Edited version of soundtrack to Manufacturing Consent. Noam Chomsky speaks about the essential role of the common man in democracy. He draws attention to the ongoing agenda of the elite, using media as a tool, to exclude the common person from participating in the political process, thereby undermining democracy. He likens propaganda in democracy to violence in totalitarianism as controlling the actions of the masses. He points to East Timor as a dramatic example of media's active role in engendering apathy through ignorance to atrocities such as genocide. He speaks a bit about his childhood and political awakening. He suggests the large movements are made of a large collection of small groups and encourages people to engage in political discussions and educate themselves and each other within their communities.
