RIP Noam Chomsky .... not quite

If he had a great intellect, it was completely fucking wasted. A man of total dogmatism who couldn't see the other side of the argument. But polemicism seems to be what passes for political e thought these days.
Well said. There has been far too much worship of Chomsky in recent years. For all the analysis, he always came up with the same Marxist answer. So his solution to the war in Ukraine was simple: give in to Putin. This from a man who derided power structures; well, capitalist power structures anyway.
 
A man of intelligence for sure but always lets his personal political dogmatism get in the way, and for that reason I’ve never been able to enjoy his writing.

The likes of Naomi Klein followed the same template.
