The American philosopher Noam Chomsky continues to trace the paths of the "Covid 19" pandemic and its effects on the international environment، relations between power and individuals، and the interference of international actors in building a "post-Corona" world، which necessitates a momentary tendency towards "conflict" instead of consensus، and will result in the retreat of global powers At the expense of regional and regional unions.
Despite his pessimistic tone about the future of the United States، which he has always linked to the complete collapse as a result of its lack of a federal strategy in the face of the Corona virus، Noam Chomsky، an American professor of linguistics، a philosopher and a scientist of perception، logic، historian، critic and political activist، believes that "America will remain the greatest power in the world and will not Russia or China could confront it directly. "
In an interview singled out by the online newspaper Hespress، Chomsky، who spends his days isolated from the world at his home in Tucson، Arizona to shelter from the "Corona virus" infection that has reached record levels in America، talks about what he considers reshaping the world by old international actors whose strategy based on Power، control، and control.
Chomsky، who is considered one of the most prominent opponents of the current American regime، notes that the epidemic has re-conceptualized the international class struggle، and established new values in a world that "is inevitably going to the abyss"، due to climate problems، democracy and nuclear war.
This is the text of the interview:
"Labyrinth. Fear. Repression and Tyranny"; Everyone hopes that the new world that is in the process of being formed after the storm of "Covid 19" will be democratic and free from "deadly" wars، but it is noticeable that the features of this "new" world do not come out of the circle of what I identified in the introduction to the question، and here I would like to ask you directly: "Will we continue to be under the control of international actors concerned about profit making and the conquest of ideas and values?
President Donald Trump has damaged the leadership role of the United States، but not enough to end its status as the most powerful country in the world. In the military dimension، no country is able to compete with the United States or to approach its military presence in any region in the world، and America is the only country that can issue sanctions on the rest of the countries، and the latter has nothing but to comply with and welcome them، for reasons related to capital. And build a stable financial system، and the multinational corporations that are based in the United States of America control about half of the global wealth.
The United States also enjoys "exceptional" benefits that are not shared by any other country. Here، I stress that Russia is not a "serious" competitor to the United States. China is expanding its global influence through "economic conquest"، but contrary to popular opinion، I think "Beijing" is still less influential and powerful in the global system. They also face internal problems that do not appear on the same scale in affluent societies.
Are we really facing the formation of a new world? Can the popular forces aspiring to achieve democracy، justice and equality prevail over the global ruling system that controls the means of production and consumption?
This is an open question. Those who created the ruling regime، and profited from it، work relentlessly to preserve it even if it requires intensifying repression and authoritarianism in order to preserve the same advantages، while popular forces around the world work to create a more just and humane society. It is a kind of class warfare on a global scale، with uncertain results.
From this logic، capital will prevail، who controls the fate of humanity and tries to save it from the specter of extinction and extinction? Can the miracle be achieved with the return of values and ethics instead of expanding the field of capital and networking its influence?
I will not use the term "return" of capital. Instead، there have been strenuous efforts to preserve the interests of world powers controlling the destinies of the people، which reached their highest point in light of the neoliberal attack on the common people in the past forty years. There are a large number of people around the world who dedicate their time and concerns to ideas، values and principles that deserve respect and support، and take part in the struggle to implement them.
We are back to the ongoing global class war.
Do you think that America can face the epidemic and rise again to lead the world?
The American leadership has led and led the world to a "catastrophe" and the facts are open and apparent to all. Look at the reality of the Arab world.
