Oh I know, many of you don't want to read Chomsky. I'm linking to him anyway, even if the link appears off-topic (it isn't), because he is fundamentally correct. "That means tearing down an enormous edifice of delusions about markets, free trade, and democracy that has been assiduously constructed over many years and to overcome the marginalization and atomization of the public so that they can become 'participants,' not mere 'spectators of action,' as progressive democratic theoreticians have prescribed. Of all of the crises that afflict us, the growing democratic deficit may be the most severe."
