The Dhaka Times Desk American linguist and political analyst Noam Chomsky has hinted that there is a bigger danger than the corona virus in the world.
This 91-year-old intellectual gave this insight in a TV interview in Arizona, USA last Monday. At this time, Noam Chomsky also talked about the post-coronavirus world system.
Noam Chomsky said in his comments, 'Coronavirus itself has been a cause of great fear, but in the future, two even greater dangers may come towards us, which will be the most terrible events that have happened so far in human history. One of which is nuclear war and the other is the threat of ongoing global warming. Corona virus is like a nightmare and there are many reasons to fear it, but it can be overcome. But some things can no longer be freed, they are absolutely over.'
Noam Chomsky also said, 'The power of the United States is great. It is the only country that embargoes Iran or Cuba and others follow suit! Again Europe followed its master. These countries have suffered a lot due to the blockade of the United States.'
However, referring to Cuba during the crisis of the corona virus, Noam Chomsky said, 'However, the most ironic event of this time is that Cuba is helping Europe! On the other hand, Germany is not able to help Greece, but Cuba is helping European countries.'
Referring to the deaths of thousands of migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean Sea, Noam Chomsky said, "The West is in a disastrous position in these respects."
He also said, 'During the crisis of the corona virus, people may think about what kind of world they really want.'
Noam Chomsky said, 'For a long time, we have known that pandemics in the world come after a few days, there was a very good understanding about this, that there is also a risk of the corona virus pandemic spreading as a mutated form of Sars. They could have worked on a vaccine for this, could have taken effective developmental steps to combat the corona virus pandemic, and with minor changes, we could easily have a corona virus vaccine in our hands today.'
Referring to the case of large pharmaceutical companies, Noam Chomsky said, 'The production of body creams is more profitable than the production of any vaccine that can save mankind from destruction. The polio problem was ended with the 'Salk' vaccine. What was invented at the government level had no patent. It could have been done at this time, but the neoliberal plague prevented it from happening.'
Noam Chomsky said, 'In October 2019, the United States had information that such a pandemic was spreading worldwide, but still did nothing. We did not notice this information. On December 31, China told the World Health Organization that there was an outbreak of pneumonia. A week after that, some Chinese scientists said that it is the corona virus and they told this information to the world.
Noam Chomsky also said, 'When we somehow get out of this crisis, we will have to choose either a very powerful authoritarian violent state system or we will get something good that will change the logic of society, human needs and the creation of a kind society where private gain outweighs The needs of the collective people will always be important.'
Noam Chomsky said, 'This is one of the most important times in human history, not only because of the coronavirus, but because it will also help us understand the mistakes of our world, and give us an opportunity to look deeper into the dysfunctional socio-economic systems that must change if we want a livable world. Earth.'
