Yup. Same reason Chomsky thinks Lenin was evil and destroyed the Soviets. They want labor aristocracy cause they can have comfort within that system as public intellectuals, etc
Funny thing is that Chomsky whines about the soviets being the true and only socialist form of organization and political power and expression of popular will and evil Lenin took power away from them post revolution, and then goes on to call the October revolution an undemocratic opportunistic coup by Lenin...while the Bolsheviks had democratic majority in the Soviets at the time and Lenin and his line enjoyed popular workers support in them

Chomsky is honestly more pissed at Lenin than Stalin iirc.
I think this is the first time i've heard that take from somebody who isn't either a monarchist, a Russian or Georgian reactionary, or both.
