      He’s done that for many people. Turned them from simply some progressive socdem into actual socialists

      He's clearly a nice man, all politics aside.

      I think that's part of the reason why people in this thread are saying the things they are.

      Yeah Chomsky's principle problem is that he never sat down and engaged and read a lot of Marx or Marxists, which really isn't so much as a problem as he's never claimed otherwise but it leads to some whack stuff sometimes (like calling Lenin a right wing deviation from Marxism which while I would say Lenin fundamentally departs from Marx like the rest of the SPD theorists, and has a conception of the workplace I think departs from Marx's republicanism, I would not call him a right wing deviation lol).
