Whaaat your saying that we can condemn and critique the failures of past socialist leaders and thinkers. This allowing learn from their actions going forward to be better instead of just meming or justifying shit decisions? That’s crazy!
I'm not a Chomsky fan in general, but that is unironically one of the cooler and more communist things a person can do. Just treating people like people.
Edit: it's also a nice throwback to how philosophy used to be / should be. open exchange of ideas.
From his recent looks I suspect he's become an Ent; as protectors of the forest, they're close to immortal I think. Just don't let him stand on fertile ground for too long.

People must be ideal, they can't merely be good.
