Overheard on X. A propos our previous discussion on Chomsky. From a xweet by "Chrome Barracuda".
>>>It's ironic that tankies hate Noam Chomsky. Is it because he wasn't unequivocally pro-Stalin, pro-Mao and pro-Soviet Union?
>>>He criticised literally every American foreign policy decision for decades and was extremely pro-Assad, pro-Putin, pro-Serbia, parroting the exact same talking points that Jackson Hinkle and Pax Tube do. That's a harder position than the vast majority of American leftists.
>>>It's hypocritical to idolise the likes of Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore but dismiss Chomsky as subversive. Only in his 90s did he "soften up" and endorse Biden. And even then, he made a huge fuss about how the West triggered the Ukraine war.
