This is an excerpt from the just released 2nd edition of Noam Chomskys Occupy: Class
War, Rebellion and Solidarity, published byZuccotti Park Press.Reprinted from

Free Speech Radio News producer Catherine Komp interviews Noam Chomsky.
Noam Chomsky is amongst the worlds most cited living scholars. Voted the worlds toppublic intellectual in 2005, he is perhaps best known as a critic of all forms of social

freedom. Over the last several decades, Chomsky has championed a wide range of
dissident actions, organizations and social movements. In this excerpt from the just-
released expanded edition of theZuccotti Park Pressbook, Occupy: Class War,
Rebellion and Solidarity, Chomsky speaks with Free Speech Radio News about media
control, fear, indoctrination and the importance of solidarity.
Catherine Komp: Its been twenty-five years since the publication of your and
Edward Hermans acclaimed book Manufacturing Consent. How much do you

Noam Chomsky: Well, ten years ago we had a re-edition and we talked about some of
