Description:
Talk by political analyst Michael Parenti in which he points out how the left separates the ideas of conspiracy and class power. He challenges the views of Noam Chomsky, Chip Berlett, and Alexander Cockburn, and examines conspiracy as it relates to the political and economic context. Next, Parenti discusses the role of the National Security States in manipulating public opinion, pointing to the Ross Perot candidacy. The ruling class, he argues, is highly organized to achieve its aims. Finally, he submits that those who reject conspiracy arguments are missing the most important aspect of class power.
