This neoliberal prankster is thus the epitome of a radical recuperator. He cultivates and markets the appearance of radicality in order to recuperate potentially radical elements in society, particularly young people and students, within the pro-imperialist anti-communist fold. This is precisely why he is the most famous ‘Marxist’ in the capitalist world, festooned by the likes of a journal linked to the engine of U.S. imperialism. His mantra is nothing but an opportunistic perversion of the closing lines of The Communist Manifesto: “Cultural consumers of the pro-Western world unite—and buy my next book, or movie, or crossover product, or whatever, and so on, and so on!”
The thing that is most telling about Chomsky is that while his criticisms of US foreign policy in particular are spot on, he never actually advocates for any alternative except some vague notion of "anarchism", which I don't think he has ever explained how it would come to fruition. All the while being fervently anti-communist.
imo Noam Chomsky doesn't really fit into it anymore bcs ever since he said that Ukraine is a proxy war and that it would be better to actually have a peaceful resolution to the conflict the libs have completely despised him
So if Plan A was to throw as much of Ukraine into the meat grinder as possible while eventually delivering defeat by economic and/or industrial exhaustion to Russia so that the ruins of both countries could be sold off for parts, what's Plan B now that it's not working? Is The West TM stuck grinding this out until Ukraine is forced to sue for peace, and Halliburton et al. will have to console themselves with all the defense contracts awarded along the way, or are we going to hear increasingly escalating rhetoric until a really big bomb gets dropped somewhere where it does a whole lot of damage and things go extra pear-shaped?
It looks like they’re trying to turn Ukraine into a weapons hub after the war is over in whatever territory is left after the Russian offensive is done. The next big fight will be for Odessa since it is Ukraines last shot at a port. It’s every sign that Russias going to take it. That being said now that the US is pulling funding out of Ukraine it really looks like Europe is going forward outside of the leadership of the US. This is why I’m kinda concerned that Macron and the Germans are not joking about boots on the ground. If that happens it may or may not be with natos help. Defense contractors as always are still winning.

they won't even give Ukraine modern fighter planes because of the risk of blowback, I think there's no risk that they'll actually hand nukes over to their pet nazis
