      Chomsky has some good reads/critiques. I mean, if you’d like to post an example of something on which you entirely disagree with him it may help your point and start an interesting debate :)

        His critiques of AES is revisionist and verges on dogmatic anti communism. He is a poor socialist.

          Do you mean AES the encryption protocol? :P

          Sorry i have no clue what you’re talking about and i fail to see Chomsky as anti-communist although i’m open to arguments. I’ve read him time and time again dismantle capitalist / libertarian arguments… So feel free to link an article explaining what you’re talking about :)

            “He has said that contrary to what many in America claim, the collapse of the Soviet Union should be regarded as “a small victory for socialism”, not capitalism.” This is some major bullshit, and stems from the most westernized viewpoint I can imagine. It’s just Pathetic. AES means Actually Existing Socialism.

        I have read that his contribution to linguistics are overrated. Problem is it was a medium article that I cannot find anymore.

          I think linguistics is overrated in general…

          I have STEM attitude to most social sciences.
