Noam Chomsky: Trump policies can not be predicted
translation Ahmed al-Zubaidi
• If Mr. Noam, has occurred unless in mind: Contrary to all expectations, Donald Trump has scored a decisive victory over Hillary Clinton, a man who Michael Moore described as "miserable, ignorant, and dangerous clown" will be the next president of the United States.From your perspective, what are the critical factors that led the American voters to make the biggest upset in the history of American politics?
- Noam Chomsky: Before we dwell on that issue, I think it's important to spend a few moments in contemplation of what happened in the November 8, the date of which may turn out to be one of the most important moments in human history, depending on how we react to it. this is no exaggeration.
On November 8, World Meteorological Organization issued (WMO) report to the International Conference on Climate Change to be held in Morocco in order to monitor the implementation of the Paris Agreement changed. The report states that the past five years have been the hottest ever. And seen a rise in sea levels, which soon will be increased as a result of rapid melting and unexpectedly in the polar ice, and indeed, the amount of Arctic sea ice over the past five years was 28 percent lower than the average during the 29 years previous , which led not only to sea level rise, but also reduce the impact of the cooling process carried out by the Arctic to the heat of the sun the ice, and thus accelerate the horrific global warming effects. The organization also reported that temperatures dangerously approaching the level announced by the Paris climate summit last year, as well as reports and other pessimistic expectations.
There was another event in the November 8, which can also turn out to be of historic importance of theunusual, for reasons hardly observed.
On November 8, put the election results in the most powerful nation in the history of the world, full control of the government - the executive branch, Congress and the Supreme Court - in the hands of the Republican Party, which has become the most dangerous organization in the history of the world.
Apart from the last phrase, all this is beyond dispute. The last phrase may seem strange, or even obscene.But is not the case? Do the facts suggest otherwise. The party is moving forward and as soon as possible in the race for the destruction of human life organization. There is no historical precedent for such a position.
Is this an exaggeration? To look at what we have of the events we've seen before.
During the primaries , the Republicans, each candidate denied that Manchdh happening now - with theexception of a number of moderates such as Jeb Bush, who said that everything is possible.
The winning candidate, now President - elect, calling for the rapid increase in the use of fossil fuels, including coal; and refuses to provide assistance to countries seeking to transition to sustainable energy; and in general, running toward us into the abyss as soon as possible.
Several steps have already been taken to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency, and plans to make the tax cuts on the industry (and the Gaza wealthy and corporations in general), and Nhawwalmazid of fossil fuel production. Reactions were quick market. It flourished as shares of energy companies, including the largest coal mines in the world, (Peabody Energy), which was on the verge of bankruptcy, but after the victory of Trump, recorded an increase of 50%.
It 's hard to find the right words to express the fact that human beings are facing the most important question in their history - will the organization of human life as we know it - or we will accelerate from Serna towards disaster.
A similar observation regarding the other issue related to human survival: the threat of nuclear destruction, which looms over our heads over 70 years ago and now is increasingly dangerous.
Opinion polls revealed that emotional support for Trump among the working classes was mainly inspired by the belief that he represents change, while Clinton was seen as the candidate that will perpetuate their plight.But "change" represented by Trump is likely to be harmful or brings what is the worst that people are working today under the greatest economic threat since the Great Depression of the thirties of the twentieth century.
There are other factors in the success of Trump. Comparative studies indicate that the doctrine of thesuperiority of the white race has a firm grip more firmly on American culture more than what is happening in South Africa, and it is no secret that the number of the white population is declining. In a decade or two, it isexpected that white is a minority in the labor force, and thus a minority of the population. And it exposed thetraditional conservative culture also attacked by the successes achieved by the policy of national identity, and find elites to maintain their country they have ever known to disappear before their eyes.
And the difficulties faced by those interested in increasing concern to the population is very big dangers posed by global warming is that 40 percent of the US population does not see a problem in this matter, because theMessiah will appear within a few decades. And the same percentage of the population believes that the world was created a few thousand years ago. Whenever struggling science with the Bible, the result will be worse for science. Which find it difficult to find a parallel in other societies.
• Do Trump represents a new movement in American politics, or is it that the results of these elections are primarily a rejection of Hillary Clinton by voters who hate Clinton, and fed up with the "politicians as usual?"
- It 's no doubt a new movement. All political parties have moved to the right during the neoliberal period.New Democrats today are largely used to be designated as "moderate Republican , " and walked away ,Republicans for dedication in order to make the rich and the corporate sector where you can not hope to get their voices, and converts to mobilize sections of the population, unregulated strong political Baitlavat: Like racists and victims of the forms of globalization , which aims to make the people who work all over the world in competition with each others while protecting the wealthy owners of franchises and undermine legal measures and other types of protection granted to workers, and devise ways to influence decision - making in trade unions effective in the public and private sectors.
They saw Clinton represents the policies that they fear and hate, while Trump was seen as a symbol of"change" - change that requires a closer look somewhat on the actual proposals ,. The election campaign itself to avoid going into the important issues have been complied with comments and media for that matter generally, keep the concept that the real "objective" means the reports that are moving carefully "inside thering road , " but not venturing out of it.
And Trump have said after the election results that "will represent all Americans." How can it when the nation is divided and he himself has already expressed his deep hatred of many groups in the United States, including women and minorities?
• Trump does not have a political ideology identifiable indicative of his position on the economic, social and political issues, but there are authoritarian tendencies evident in his behavior. So, do you find any validity in the allegations , which says Trump is visible to the kind of "soft fascism" in the United States?
- For many years, I was writing and talking about the danger of the rise of someone with charisma and ideology have overwhelming influence in the United States, someone able to exploit the fear and anger that came boiling over in most sectors of society, which can be guided away from the actual goals of the malaise to serious targets . It can lead in fact to what he called the sociologist Bertram Cross as "soft fascism" in his study 35 years ago. But that requires a real ideology, the ideology of Hitler type, and with a real Valmkhatrcant for many years, and may become more so now in light of the forces that unleashed the Trump.
• With the entry of the Republicans to the White House, and also their control of House of Representatives and the Senate and the future shape of the Supreme Court, how the United States will look like over the next four years at least?
- It relies heavily on his staff and circle of advisers. Words watered down the initial indications are not encouraging.
The Supreme Court will be in the hands of reactionaries for many years, with the consequences unpredictable.If we follow the Trump fiscal policies to reduce taxes, there will be significant benefits for the rich - only Tax Policy Center estimates result in lower taxes to more than 14 percent from the rich class that represents 1 percent of the population to a significant reduction in general at the upper end of the income ladder , but theimpact of tax relief is almost non - existent for others, who also will face new and significant burdens. Expects major industries, and the Stock Exchange on Wall Street, the military, industry, and energy industries and other major economic institutions in the future is very bright.
• There are also many expectations about the future of foreign policy, most of which have not been answered. There is a mutual admiration between Trump and Putin. Is there a possibility that we arewitnessing a new era in relations between the United States and Russia?
- That one hopes that there is a very serious reduction of tensions and growing on the Russian border: I remember here , " the Russian border" and not the Mexican border. It is also possible that Europe might distance itself from America Trump, as already proposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders - Europeans and that may lead to European efforts to defuse the tension, and perhaps even to make efforts to move towards something similar to see Mikhail Gorbachev Europe 's security system Asian Integrated without military alliances, which the United States rejected it in favor of NATO expansion, that vision that Vladimir Putin recently revived , whether seriously or not, we do not know.
• Will it be American foreign policy in light of Trump 's management with more or less than what we've seen under the Obama administration, or even the George W. Bush administration 's military trends?
- I do not think anyone can answer with any degree of confidence. Trump 's policies can not be predicted to alarge extent. There are a lot of outstanding issues. What we can say is that the mobilization of people and activate their activities, and the organization properly, can make a big difference.
We should keep in mind that very large bets.
