    But at least he was right on Ukraine and Palestine. Western leftism is far from perfect.

      Even Vaush is propalestinian, nobody is always wrong or right. And his take about Ukraine would be maybe better if he didn’t cheered for decades for what ultimately caused it, the destruction of USSR.

      Also dude writes for 70 years, he was bound to get one or two things right just by throwing the darts.

      Western leftism is far from perfect.

      That’s understatement and noticeable chunk of blame for that lies with him.

        I think the major problems of left in America is not because of chomsky Or so. It’s because they didn’t have a problem living with capitalism and bombing the 3rd world . It’s during the post Regan years and 2008 crisis the Yanks have shown tilts towards anti capitalist ideologies still many are involved with anarchists and hell lot of redundant trends which cannot be found in the 3rd world. Still I think Chomsky has some values more than illogical trends in America like Infrared and MAGA thots. Still I don’t think US with EU will able to do any revolution for a long long time.

          Yes and Chomsky effectively supported it and channeled radicalizing people into anarchism, socialdemocracy and other nonsenses. As far as propagandists blame go, he’s one of the worst on the “left”.

          MAGA

          Open enemy is always better than backstabber.

            He’s always said that the US allowing statements like his gives it a kind of superiority, which is so recursive it’s mind boggling

            Oh well, 😁 I just wonder why Vijay Prashad and Indian marxists are so fixated with him.
