Noam Chomsky is the world's most famous public intellectual. He's spent decades critiquing US power - he's turned 92 this month, and is as lucid as ever - and remains a flag bearer of dissent. In this wide ranging interview, we discussed neoliberalism, how the Democrats paved the way for Trump, why Trump is the "worst criminal in human history", whether Trumpism will outlast Trump and destroy US democracy, about the prospects for the left under a Biden presidency, the climate emergency which threatens to wipe out human life, what possibility for Palestinian freedom - and whether there is a future without capitalism.
