    I mean it doesn't really require any digging into analytic philosophies. Chomsky and Marx speak two different philosophical languages, and Chomsky doesn't care enough to learn an entirely new language to render a judgement on Marx, so he just dismisses it as gibberish, which to him, it is.

    To answer your original question, basically it's analogous to Einstein not understanding cantonese despite being one smart cookie.

        You won't catch me dead defending Western STEM peep's tolerance of methodological pluralism, but in my experience, they're only exceptional in the degree, not quality of their intellectual chauvinism.
