On the one hand, Western Marxists and Marxist-Leninists are not the same, but on the other hand, both of them—and even anarchists sometimes—get called tankie by liberals anyway.

    Chomsky's Epstein ties kinda lead me to dismiss anything he has ever wrote.

    parenti wrote a book which is kind of like manufacturing consent but better which is called inventing reality, i think you'll learn something reading chomsky beyond him being a piece of shit, but you'll learn more if you read parenti, lol.
