About this listen
Noam Chomsky has been back in the headlines in the past few days, both as a reference point for urgent debates and as an active intellectual presence. Yesterday, on October 7th, Novara Media’s Politics Chat featured Chomsky in a major appearance with investigative journalist Matt Kennard, where he analyzed the collapse of American empire and the enduring global consequences in the context of the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks in Israel. His warnings about US foreign policy and its role in Middle East conflicts are being circulated widely as the situation between Israel and Palestine continues to escalate, with numerous outlets highlighting his critique that American support for Israel limits the possibilities for justice or peace in the region. Novara Media, and several political forums, are amplifying his remarks about the dual failures of US and regional powers to ensure Palestinian rights.
Meanwhile, Chomsky’s intellectual reach stretches beyond politics: his new book co-authored with former Uruguayan president José Mujica, Surviving the 21st Century, is creating waves. Released October 1 via Verso Books, this long-anticipated work compiles in-depth conversations between the two elders of the left, focusing on empire, climate crisis, worker empowerment, and the need for radical democracy. Reviews from The Baffler and social media excitement—Jacobin Magazine spotlighted its publication—suggest the book is already considered essential reading for anyone tracking the evolution of Chomsky’s thinking, as well as a key biographical milestone marking his late-career collaborations and global reach.
On social media, Chomsky’s older analyses, especially those dissecting the Israel-Palestine conflict and US involvement, are trending again amid renewed violence and international scrutiny. His MIT presentation dissecting the failures of US-led peace efforts has resurfaced in digital conversations, reinforcing his reputation as both a rigorous critic and a moral voice. In podcasts, Chomsky’s influence endures: Laura Flanders recently cited him as a steadfast inspiration for critical media, and grassroots channels invoke his concept of "intellectual self-defense" to frame current events. There have been no confirmed reports of unexpected public appearances or interviews outside of these scheduled features, and speculation about his health or political meetings appears unsubstantiated based on the current news cycle.
