Noam Chomsky Calls Republican Party The Worst Organization In Human History And R's Lose It

Noam Chomsky: Republican Party the most dangerous organization ‘in human history’. Linguist and political commentator Noam Chomsky says the Republican Party is the most dangerous organization “in human history.” A wide-ranging interview with BBC’s “Newsnight” Wednesday between host Evan Davis and Mr. Chomsky soon turned to the Republican Party, which the author said is worse than the Islamic State terror group or those responsible for millions of deaths throughout the 20th century. 
“Look, this is a very outrageous statement,” Mr. Chomsky said. “When I said it, I said, ‘Look, this is a very outrageous statement, but is it true? Is ISIS dedicated to trying to destroy the prospects for organized human existence?’ “It’s that bad?” the host countered. 
“What does it mean to say not only are we not doing anything about climate change, but we’re trying to accelerate the race to the precipice?” Mr. Chomsky said. “It doesn’t matter whether they genuinely believe it or not if the consequence of that is, ‘let’s use more fossil fuels, let’s refuse to subsidize developing countries, let’s eliminate regulations that reduce greenhouse gases.’ If that’s the consequence, that’s extremely dangerous.” The left-wing author added that Mr. Trump’s campaign victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton was fueled by “white supremacy.”Noam Chomsky: Republican Party is the most dangerous organisation in human history. Noam Chomsky has argued the Republican Party is the most “dangerous organisation in human history” and the world has never seen an organisation more profoundly committed to destroying planet earth. The eminent intellectual, who is famed for his radical views, said the Trump administration had shown total and utter disregard for the future of the planet and appeared dedicated to dismantling previous legacies to tackle climate change.
Chomsky, professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, argued the administration was prioritising “profits and power” and “systematically” destroying governmental institutions, such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, which are in place to address global warming. “Has there ever been an organisation in human history that is dedicated, with such commitment, to the destruction of organised human life on Earth?” he asked the audience at a Democracy Now! event.  
“Not that I’m aware of. Is the Republican organisation - I hesitate to call it a party - committed to that? Overwhelmingly. There isn’t even any question about it.” 
Chomsky argued that America was isolating itself as one of the only countries not to be engaging in efforts to tackle climate change. “So there’s the whole world on one side, literally, at least trying to do something or other, not enough maybe, although some places are going pretty far, like Denmark, couple of others; and on the other side, in splendid isolation, is the country led by the most dangerous organisation in human history, which is saying, ‘We’re not part of this. In fact, we’re going to try to undermine it.’ "We’re going to maximise the use of fossil fuels - could carry us past the tipping point. We’re not going to provide funding for - as committed in Paris, to developing countries that are trying to do something about the climate problems. We’re going to dismantle regulations that retard the impact, the devastating impact, of production of carbon dioxide and, in fact, other dangerous gases - methane, others."
