      What bothers me most, is the implication that "communist-Marxist-Leninist" is the same thing to be lumped together. Furthermore, implying the atrocities of police state empire is the evil of it...as they ignore what is in the mirror.
      And today, Bernie's healthcare plan is labelled with the same nonsensical lumping.

      Indeed, read 1984. Prophecy from a democratic socialist, warning about authoritarian dictatorships, not universal healthcare. Reaganomics uses it as a playbook.
      As it does with Animal Farm. Implied as an anti soviet fake news warning, as Reagan abolished the fairness doctrine and Clinton consolidated the MSM with the telecommunications act, but actually created the dogs (Hannity and Maddow) to propagandize for the pigs (RNC and DNC)...who are no different than Mr. Jones and the humans (Pentagon) anyway.

      Every now and then they'd trot someone out to give it a shot. That stopped a long time ago. He demolished a succession of right wing "intellectuals" early in his career of course.
      My all-time favourite is the neo-con Richard Perle who complained - after about an hour of being completely thrashed on every point - that Professor Chomsky seemed to have an answer for absolutely everything. It was surely intended as a snide criticism but given the punishment of the previous hour, that criticism came across as almost desperate, like the last gurgling wail of a drowning man's waterlogged argument.

      Ignorance is a far greater enemy to virtue than anything else. Although there are not any people who rival Chomsky, the mass promotion of mass ignorance is something that rivals the very survival interests of the species. In a way, there is no one to rival Chomsky, but in another way, the rivalry is no longer humans and their messages, but the very channels of discourse themselves.
