"Dismantle the system of production for profit rather than production for use." Must change profit motive! Yes! Got it! Thank you! Chomsky always on point with that.  19:51 pretty much breaks down why changing profit motive will be hard to do. Sarcastic laugh goes with it. 20:50 explains why we only get to see Noam on the internet. "Concision is a technique of propaganda"  And let's not forget the elections coming up and why Obama still gets to run.  I often wonder what is the point of making so much profit?  So you get to do douchey crap like play golf and buy nice clothes. So what? Reminds me of a line in one of MIA's songs  "Your shoes could feed a village, you should think about that"   I love the idea of a co-op because it is worker owned but if the goal always ends up being about profit then the same exploitation continues, maybe better exploitation but I don't want to condone that. I just have a hard time believing that there isn't enought to go around. My bike got stolen today so maybe that's why I am especially annoyed about people trying to survive. It sucks! And we are the suckas.
