I wonder what do people think when they hear his name.

That photo with him and Jeffrey Epstein on a plane.

Pedo adjacent at best. He is an anti-communist liberal, pumped up by the imperialist theory industry because his ideas present no threat to the white supremacists patriarchal capitalist ruling class.

The high perch from which Chomsky tells us how free we are was likely only vacant because state agents murdered all consequential Black leaders and squashed every other left-wing movement. In the ensuing years, white guys writing books supplanted visionaries with megaphones while the prison population grew

TLDR: the most lenient reading of Chomsky was that he was able to highlight some of the symptoms of the US empire but has no understanding of the pathophysiology or treatment. This would have to then ignore all the times he went to bat for imperialism, and despite portaying himself as a generalist for knowledge was willfully obtuse about even understanding dialectial materialism from the perspective of his supposed enemy, the tyrannical marxist-leninist. Not to mention all the times he denigrated the global south struggles against imperialism. Ie typical western liberal.

When I hear his name, I think about how his influence turned my friend from an actual communist into a vaguely left anarchist (an "anarcho-syndicalist" like Chomsky, which in my opinion is a functionally meaningless term in our social context) who believes state department propaganda and opposes any successful model for socialism to the point that they just support liberalism. Intellectuals like him that support the status quo (even if Chomsky might believe he doesn't) divert potentially revolutionary energy away from effective action and teach people seeking information and hope after finding class consciousness that individual action is the best they can do.

He's an American student of French philosophy and like his fellow French philosophers dabbles in the grotesque art of intersecting pedophilia with liberal pseudointellectualism that pretends to be critical of capital/empire while actually offering no alternative to it and supporting everything it does.

Fifth head of socialdemocracy after Lasalle, Bernstein, Kautsky and Blair

Look up what he said about the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

he should probably just kick the bucket already..why do libs live so fucking long

CHOAM Nomsky. he eats all the spice.

He's a lib. Also a big Epstein pal. Manufacturing Consent is good.

So Parenti is better, isn't it? I just discovered him on Lemmygrad Quote.

It would be nice if communists in the West stopped platforming him.

He's a sheepdog propagating empire. He wasn't even the main author for the work he is most famous for.

Sheila Greibach's normal form for CFGs is better. Also didn't chomsky talk to chimpanzees or something?
