Ahh, the taboo "socialist" word. Funny how ideologically-charged knee-jerk reactions tend to form opinion. I understand that you spoke ironically.

Chomsky is, along with the literary/religious critic Harold Bloom, my favourite living intellectual, and one of the very few of any eminence who has the courage to combat the entire system.
