Both claims against Chomsky reek of CIA/neo-liberal propaganda, imo.
As to your comments seeking to discredit Chomsky’s expertise in this area, he’s an intellectual who has been following, protesting, and speaking out against Western Imperialism since the Vietnam war.
Neo-Liberalism (the Democrats) and Fascism (the modern GOP) aren’t the only choices and being critical of neo-liberalism =~ tankie or Russian apologist.
That’s CIA propaganda and I’m sorry to see it follow posters from reddit.
