One problem I see is with his "almost off the spectrum" statement. Chomsky is a product of an era
when the US was probably the "most equitable" society that it has ever been. The political spectrum,
even in the US, is far broader than he seems aware of. And when you consider that liberal democracies
resulted fascism, or the scope of Roman absolutism, it's a ludicrous stance.
It is hard to take someone seriously when they make statements in ignorance of history - no matter
how well renowned.
