Chomski 2010

"It is very similar to late Weimar Germany," Chomsky told me when I called him at his office in Cambridge, Mass. "The parallels are striking. There was also tremendous disillusionment with the parliamentary system. The most striking fact about Weimar was not that the Nazis managed to destroy the Social Democrats and the Communists but that the traditional parties, the Conservative and Liberal parties, were hated and disappeared. It left a vacuum which the Nazis very cleverly and intelligently managed to take over."

"The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen," Chomsky went on. "Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says 'I have got an answer, we have an enemy'? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don't think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election."

"I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime," Chomsky added.
"I am old enough to remember the 1930s. My whole family was unemployed. There were far more desperate conditions than today. But it was hopeful. People had hope. The CIO was organizing. No one wants to say it anymore but the Communist Party was the spearhead for labor and civil rights organizing. Even things like giving my unemployed seamstress aunt a week in the country. It was a life. There is nothing like that now. The mood of the country is frightening. The level of anger, frustration and hatred of institutions is not organized in a constructive way. It is going off into self-destructive fantasies."

Verdis Fångarnas kör framfördes fint av Opera Viva i S:t Stephans kapell Vanadislunden. Projekt Va pensiero! Italiensk språkövning desslikes. Sedan den 17:e februari 2001 förfogar jag över en .mp3 ljudfil, som kan avlyssnas. Se nedan!
Det lät även fint på Stadion en vacker junikväll med World Choir, då den eftersökte (!) tenoren Pavarotti besökte oss. Sjung med!

Va, pensiero, sulláli dorate;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
Láure dolci del suolo natal!

Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sïone le torri atérrate..
Oh, mia patria si bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza si cara e fatal!

Arpa d´ôr dei fatidici vati
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!

O simile di Solima ai fati
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
O, t´ispiri il Signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtú,
che ne infonda al patire virtú,
che ne infonda al patire virtú,
al patire virtú.
