September 4, 2013 -- I believe that Prof. Henry Giroux (a professor at McMaster University) is one of the eminent thinkers of our time. His writings and commentary about the dangers to our society of the right wing / neo-liberal / corporate agenda need to be heard by a wider audience so that people can become aware about how western democratic society is being sleep-walked towards a neo-fascist reality by political and corporate elites.
In the following interview Giroux talks about how our youth and civil society is being disempowered and shackled by right wing / neo-liberal politicians working with corporate interests. It's a lengthy interview (about 52 minutes) but if you can't watch all three parts then watch the latter half of part 2 and the beginning of part 3 where he addresses the Canadian reality.
I referred to his writings in my article of July 31, 2013, Society Is Awash in Public Stupidity, and Critical Thought Is Under Assault
It
may have been said by an American but the words of Thomas Jefferson are
relevant no matter what your nationality is: "All tyranny needs to get a
foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
I encourage you to listen / watch the whole interview, comment on it and pass it on to others.
