塞維裡諾稱,2016 年歐巴馬司法部指導意見規定學校應根據跨性別學生的「性別認同」對待他們,這是對兩性科學事實的奧威爾式改寫,現已被川普「恢復生物學真相」的行政命令所規範。他說,拜登時代的指令要求政府員工用他們喜歡的代名詞來稱呼同事,這意味著強迫「人們用自己的嘴唇重複謊言」。這讓他想起了《1984》的結尾,書中的主角溫斯頓史密斯被逼無奈,相信了黨的謊言。奧威爾寫道,史密斯「開始寫下他腦海中的想法」。 “自由就是奴役。” “二加二等於五。” 所以事情就變成這樣了。所有人似乎都同意我們可能正在走向《1984》,但對於誰最像奧威爾,人們的看法卻不一致。奧威爾確實有先見之明。似乎其中也包括他自己的遺產。他曾經寫過另一位政治立場備受爭議的英國作家——查爾斯狄更斯。在 1939 年的一篇文章中,他稱讚狄更斯是一位以道德為導向且「永遠站在弱者一邊」的作家。奧威爾在談到狄更斯將成為怎樣的偶像時寫道:“狄更斯是那些被認為值得借鑒的作家之一。他的作品被馬克思主義者、天主教徒,尤其是保守黨人借鑒過。” 這早已是奧威爾死後的命運。曾廣泛撰寫有關奧威爾的文章的退休教授約翰·羅登 (John Rodden) 表示:「他為那些想要建立某種知識譜系的人填補了一個空白。」奧威爾,作為一個追求精準的作家,不太可能會同意被同時平等地插入每一個洞中。但或許奧威爾的這些精心之言已經找到了它的用武之地。

He is easy to quote, but what would the iconoclastic British socialist really have thought about politics today?

美國哲學家、教授諾姆·喬姆斯基在 95 歲時失去了說話和寫作的能力,這迫使他放棄了演講的寶座,他曾在演講中揭露全球體系的真相,他的一些最著名的言論如下:- ——不存在貧窮的國家。資源管理中只有一個系統故障! - 沒有人會把真相放在你的腦海裡,這是你必須自己去發現的東西 - 如果你想征服一個民族,那就創造一個比你更危險的假想敵,然後成為他們的。救主。 歷史上最明顯的教訓之一; - “權利不是被授予的,而是被強行奪取的。” 扭曲歷史並使其看起來好像一切都是偉人所為是有目的的。這是向那些無能為力的人傳授他們無能為力的方法之一。他們應該等待一位偉人來做這件事。 - 這個世界是一個非常神秘和令人困惑的地方,如果你不願意被困惑,你就會成為別人思想的複製品 - 所以你就能控制別人。讓他相信他之所以遲到是因為他的緣故,而你會來拯救他。 」 - 世界或西方都會後悔自己的那些瑣碎思想使人背離了人性或本性。他們必須知道正確的宗教。和正確的信念。


The American philosopher and professor, Noam Chomsky, loses the ability to speak and write at 95 years old, this forces him to give up the throne of speech, in which he exposed the truth about global systems some of his most famous sayings: -
- There is no such thing as a poor country. There's only one failed system in resource management!
- No one will put the truth in your mind, it's something you have to discover for yourself
- If you want to conquer a people, create an imaginary enemy who seems more dangerous than you, then be their. savior.
One of the clearest lessons in history;
- "Rights are not granted, they are taken by force."
There is a purpose in distorting history and making it seem like great men did it all. It's part of how you teach people who can't do anything, that they are powerless. and they should just wait for a great man to do it.
- The world is a very mysterious and confusing place, if you are not willing to get confused, you become a replica of someone else's mind
- So you can control people. Make him believe that he is the reason for his delay and that you are coming to save him. ”
- The world or the West will regret its trivial ideas that divert a person from his humanity or his nature. They must know the right religion. and the right belief.

我們今早收到美國著名學者及政治哲學家諾姆.喬姆斯基(Noam Chomsky)鼓勵港人的訊息。喬姆斯基指:「我一直密切關注(香港的消息)。年輕人在反修例抗爭行動中展現出莫大的勇氣及氣節。雖然有幸獲得國際支持,可是抗爭者對於中國的逼迫依然無計可施。」雖然他並未就香港和蘇丹民眾抗爭等大事撰文,但有機會的話他樂意在接受訪談時提出相關意見。

諾姆.喬姆斯基是當今世界上最傑出的學者、作家和政治哲學家之一。在過去的五十年裡,他一直在美國麻省理工學院語言學系擔任教授,同時積極推動反戰爭及反帝國主義,其著作《Manufacturing Consent》重新定義了對政治宣傳的理解。喬姆斯基在學術和政治運動方面都曾贏得無數獎項,當中包括悉尼和平獎和奧威爾獎等。他亦常於政治民意調查中,被選為現今最偉大的學者。
Noam Chomsky, world-renowned scholar and political activist, sent out a heartwarming message to #Hongkongers this morning. Chomsky said, "[I have] been following [the #antiELAB movement in Hong Kong] closely. The struggle of the young people against the extradition bill is a remarkable display of courage and integrity. Fortunately, it has great worldwide support, but there are few ideas about how to ward off a crackdown by China.” He added that while he has not written about Hong Kong or the equally remarkable popular protests in Sudan yet, he would bring the matters up in interviews if given the chance.
Noam Chomsky is a distinguished American scholar, author and political activist. Over the last 50 years, he has served as a groundbreaking linguist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as an avid anti-war and anti-imperialism activist. His book, Manufacturing Consent, has helped redefine the understanding of propaganda techniques. Chomsky has won countless awards both for his academic achievement and his political activism, including the Sydney Peace Prize and the Orwell Award and has been routinely voted as one of the greatest intellectuals and political heroes of our time.



Noam Chomsky's career is likely to end up like Einstein's—at least in the sense that his best and most influential work came early on

【為什麼《美國理想主義的神話》是杭士基政治論述的集大成之作?】

以上共計13種。
在編完《美國理想主義的神話》之後,小編深深覺得此書可說是杭士基所有政治評論著作中的集大成之作。為什麼呢?讓我們聽聽這本書的共同作者、《時事》(Current Affairs)雜誌的聯合創辦人,奈森.羅賓森怎麼說。
奈森.羅賓森和許多杭士基的讀者一樣,是在很年輕的時候就接觸他的作品,他在高中時期就讀了杭士基的《霸權還是存活》和《失敗的國家》。羅賓森說,對他而言「#是一個改變人生的經歷」。
而這本《美國理想主義的神話》是羅賓森向杭士基提議出版的書。「我一直希望將杭士基的一些理念整理成冊,更井然有序地呈現。於是二○二二年,我問他能否一起合作出書。我向他解釋,我想匯編他對美國如何在全球運用權力,以及我們國家的暴力如何被自我吹捧的神話所掩蓋的有用見解。#這本書會從他所有著作中提煉觀點,介紹他對美國外交政策的主要批判,包括他對那些為我們國家極端且可惡的軍事主義辯護所使用的敘事和宣傳手法進行解構。」
當然這樣的提議,獲得了杭士基的同意。於是他們開始緊密的工作,整理杭士基在各種訪談、文章、自序、引言、書信、辯論和書籍中的內容,將這些內容編輯成清楚的立場陳述,補充詳細的說明和更多證據,並一同修訂和改寫,最後才有《美國理想主義的神話》這本書的誕生。
在這本書中,我們可以讀到杭士基過去經常提及的概念,諸如:製造共識、流氓國家、黑手黨邏輯、美國說了算、知識人的責任,並用這些概念剖析自二十世紀中期以來美國的外交干預政策與國際局勢的發展。
因此,此書確實就是杭士基政治評論的集大成之作。一如北美拉丁美洲事務協會(NACLA)對此書的評論:「《美國理想主義的神話》是杭士基經典觀點在2024年的重新詮釋。」(這本書英文版出版於2024年10月)
如果您在過去還沒有讀過杭士基的著作,這本書是最好的開始。正如美國的政治評論員Sam Seder所說,這本書就是「#一堂認識杭士基的入門課」。
如果您原本就是杭士基的讀者,那麼您會對《美國理想主義的神話》使用的概念和論述形式感到非常熟悉,但可以看到兩位作者如何用以評析最近的以巴問題、俄烏戰爭和臺海危機,更可以印證杭士基的觀點是如何「一以貫之」,足以突破向美國「一面倒」的主流媒體見解。

❝杭士基的觀點已被事實證明無誤……。杭士基和羅賓森揭露的虛偽紀錄令人警醒,也極具說服力。任何心胸開放的讀者,在真正理解這本書的內容後,都難以再相信美國領導人為其強硬行徑所宣稱的那些正當理由。❞
