What a ridiculously biased Fox News level link. Clearly no room for a fruitful discussion here.

Do you think they invented his quotes? There's usually room for a fruitful discussion if you want one.

No. But do I think that their "interpretation" is even close to charitable and that there's a even faintest chance that we'll get somewhere from that starting point? No, not a chance.

The author is of course the author of some "abolish the NHS book/report" as well. Do you honestly believe that this sort of such stuff is represented by anything other than monied interests?

But then you agree with me that Chomsky said:

"[W]hat’s so exciting about at last visiting Venezuela is that I can see how a better world is being created […] The transformations that Venezuela is making toward the creation of another socio-economic model could have a global impact."

That seems to prove my point, irrespective of whether the IEA is a right-wing thinktank (yes, it is).
