There's a lot more there. It's interesting to note how hard the moderator tries to set these two at odds, but they keep agreeing with each other. It's also astonishing to me to see how philosophically astute Chomsky is, and how thoroughly Foucault understood Chomsky's work. These are really two colossi.

( and if yur on the foucault tribe that link was posted there as well without much discussion ) yep, that clip gave me a pretty good picture of the schism between those who go for the juggular /root of the problem ( foucault) and those who try establish a practical platform in fighting oppression... (chomsky, anarchist syndicalism ) ... in a very very boiled down sense it seemed to characterize the typical french intellect vs. the moral american ... and if only the 2 positions could coordinate an attack simultaneously from both sides in brightly colored spandex tights i think they might have a chance of taking down the empire... at least for one round. p.
