Comment on Meant to Be Broken: Control Society and Crosswalks by Tristan Husby

Crosswalks always make me think: What if cars had to press a small little button in order to cross the street?
Why do we give automatic precedence to cars at intersections? Even in places with overwhelming amounts of pedestrian traffic, cars, simply because of their size, demand the attention of the crowd.

On a random note, to see how committed Chomsky is the idea of universalism, observe how he refuses to cross the street while the light is red (p. 41): http://books.google.com/books?id=I-cDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA26&lpg=PA26&dq=%22noam+is+an+island%22+mother+jones&source=bl&ots=fH6kkgzCuR&sig=j5iY3lyIl8PMiIiCKL6e7JL_HT0&hl=en&ei=A_AGTPD-FcP88AbzgrzqDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22noam%20is%20an%20island%22%20mother%20jones&f=false

Thanks Rene, I was waiting for that to go online. Just found your site the other day, really great resource for those of us who live in places without good Marxist lecture circuits.

I guess I just maintain that those options aren’t worth a damn unless society is truly equal and those tactics mean something. I fundamentally don’t believe that a free society would lead to women’s equality – the whole de Beauvoir business
