I knew only his name being venerated in certain parts of “the left,” when I heard him make an argument I considered disingenuous that excused russian meddling in the US election as we have done that in other countries’elections.
Which is just wrongheaded. The ones in the US doing this in other countries are the ones those forces are helping to get into power here, to do more in those other countries.
It in no way excuses the democrats failure to nominate popular candidates that the russians got involved and helped push the republicans over the edge, but it also is incredibly dangerous to have a hostile foreign intelligence agency helping the already dangerous party win, and then fix elections going forward, which is the subtext.
I’ve had no respect for Chomsky since I heard him say that, on Democracy Now I think it was, 2017 or so.
