  > So, if you think socialism works, then yeah, you'll find this very persuasive. From my POV, though, it's a deluded fantasy which 100 years of disastrous policy catastrophes have disproved.
(not to bring up a no true scotsman-type argument) but maybe chomsky has a different understanding of what "socialist principles" mean compared to most contemporary people (and those who implemented those disastrous policies)?

honest question, can a downvoter try to explain why you are downvoting?

note im not approving or disapproving of his stance, but merely stating a fact

chomsky has many times stated his beliefs and they are quite different what someone like say, stalin or lenin would espouse [1]

i dont really think im making a controversial statement am i?
