Chomsky. Didn't he argue that Leninism is a right-wing deviation from Marxism?
Didn't he argue that the Bolsheviks were actually counter-revolutionary?
Didn't he argue that voting blue (and reinforcing the 2-party dominance) is the smart strategic choice for its short-term harm reduction?
Didn't he argue that violent uprising is a gift to the right and we should only protest in peaceful, non-threatening ways?
