The Chomsky debate in "Endgame 2012" revolves around the best means to organize for political change within the American system to accomplish the goals of the Peace Movement. The book advocates the methodology of the abolition and civil rights movements historically to enact fundamental reform of the U.S. Constitution abolishing war and nuclear weapons, following upon the example of Article 9 in Japan. In retrospect, the Foucault - Chomsky debate depicted in the videos below can be seen of interest relating to the issues of structuralism in linguistics, psychology, and politics referencing the construction of human nature through ontology in cultural institutions.

"Only creativity is possible in putting into play of a system of rules... replace it in the field of other human practices, such as economics, technology, politics, sociology, which can serve them as conditions of formation, of models, of place, of apparition, etc. I would like to know whether one cannot discover the system of regularity, of constraint, which makes science possible, somewhere else, even outside the human mind, in social forms, in the relations of production, in the class struggles, etc... Perhaps the point of difference between Mr. Chomsky and myself is that when he speaks of science he probably thinks of the formal organisation of knowledge, whereas I am speaking of knowledge itself, that is to say, I think of the content of various knowledges which is dispersed into a particular society, permeates through that society, and asserts itself as the foundation for education, for theories, for practices, etc." + Human Nature: Justice versus Power - Noam Chomsky debates with Michel Foucault

"We commonly think of a debate as a means of expressing one's position to another, while simultaneously respecting and recognizing the right of the other to do the same. But the true importance of a debate is not so much in expression but in arriving at the 'truth'. That is to say, the true importance of debate in Western history, thought, and institutions, is that by discussing, evaluating, and critiquing issues, beliefs and arguments, we arrive at a better understanding as to their validity and soundness. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, this concern for publicly debating issues that are very close to our homes and hearts seems to be the very hallmark of rationality, democracy, and social justice." + 'Theseus vs. the Minotaur: Finding the Common Thread in the Chomsky-Foucault Debate' - Brian Lightbod
