What happens to our analysis if we throw away the idea of manipulation all togehrer? or perhaps, better, say: there is only manipulation. That Chomsky manipulates when he points out the manipulation of others; and what we care about is that we're not successful in our manipulations. By localising this notion of 'manipulation' to an 'elite' he creates a paranoid mood of analysis -- rather, manipulation is democratic; and as far as we're in trouble in politics, it's often because of how democratic manipulation turns out to be.
