In this video interview Noam Chomsky talks to TJ Armand about the mixed legacy of Hugo Chavez, freedom of speech violations in Turkey and religious fundamentalism in the US.

Chomsky also addresses questions around the Tea Party, Civil Liberties under the Obama administration and the issue of gay marriage in the U.S. On the matter of gay marriage in the US, Chomsky says that it’s not a class issue and that those in the corporate world could care less about it, since it doesn’t challenge power.
