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).

He’s done that for many people. Turned them from simply some progressive socdem into actual socialists
He has created a positive number of marxists, even if he's an anarchist.
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.
