I definitely think it’s a case of Chomsky being a giant dirt bag.
He did an incredible amount of damage misleading the left, even leaving aside that he’s close friends with a known pedo and a child trafficker. He was doing the bidding of the bourgeoisie; literally made an academic career of misdirectimg leftists and cozying up to elites.
One of the most important and influential “dissident left wing” intellectuals in the entire Western world was without a doubt close friends with an intelligence asset and engaged in illict activities that Epstein was known for. You just can’t separate these facts.
Chomsky is very Anti-USSR, calling it a coup staged by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Very anti-Marxist, comparing Marxism with religious fanatics. I am not kidding, years ago, I listened to an interview he did on Robert McChesney’s old podcast. McChesney was a leftist media prof, and once part of the editorial committee of longtime Socialist magazine Monthy Review. During the interview, Chomsky talked about how it was that the Berlin Wall fell, because East Germany and the USSR was not Socialism. McChesney asked Chomsky what country is closest to Socialism, and Chomsky says the USA because of all its freedoms. I had to re-listen that part to make sure I didn’t misheard. That explains why he calls himself some sort of Anarchist, but always tells his fans to vote Democrats lol
I used to tell myself that the reason he said shit like that was as an inside joke between him and some FBI agent still listening to every conversation public and private. Not because I really thought he was still some dangerous revolutionary but because he just said some stuff that was critical of Bush II and the war in Iraq. I felt like “ooh it’s the consent” “it’s being manufactured before my eyes!”
Now it’s more like he got bought and paid. Christ it explains so much about his cynicism toward the USSR especially the early USSR. He must have figured Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in it for the $$$, like he was.
it’s kinda cool that he wrote “manufacturing consent” but he was actually manufacturing consent himself. bro is like Bernie but for people who try harder to understand things.

He epitomizes manufactured consent.

That’s how he understood the mechanics so well.
