Noam Chomsky on the biblical prophets


Noam Chomsky discusses the relationship between biblical prophets and dissident intellectuals in this March 30, 2011 interview, based on six questions posed by celebrated intellectuals.

I draw you attention to Chris Hedges’ question which begins at minute mark 5:18. 

Chomsky’s answer to Hedges' question “gets rolling” at 7:30. 

Chomksy embarks another “hot spot” at 33:00, where he describes the contemporary Left’s relative “failure” as a result of replacing economic activism with “post-materialist” concerns – sexual and gender issues among them:  http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article30067.htm
