I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Chomsky. He is a libertarian socialist (similar to some forms of anarchism) so his views don't neatly coincide with liberalism, progressivism, libertarianism, conservativism, etc. He's definitely anti-fascist and anti-totalitarianism, is not afraid to speak his mind (even when it's incredibly unpopular), is well read and deliberate, and I greatly admire him for those traits.

All I can say, for whatever it's worth, is be careful. Chomsky is a genius and I've read three of his books, but I always wondered - if he's really so subversive, what's he doing in the mainstream? The mainstream allows the Michael Moores and Noam Chomskys and Gore Vidals... are these brilliant men as subversive as they'd like us to believe? Of course the answer is no, they're not. Chomsky is a gatekeeper. He's gone out of his way to seperate the 911 truth movement from the left, and shrugged off the importance of the Trilateral Commission and the CFR, despite the fact that their immense power is documented in the mainstream. He's a disinformation agent, to put it bluntly, whose job it is to deflect intellectual liberals away from the truth.
There's definately a lot to learn from Chomsky, as there is with Vidal and Moore, but don't let those fancy words tangle you up, because when you step back and evaluate his behavior coldly and calmly you'll find that his big ideas are in line with the elite he claims to subvert with his intellect. The fact that 99.9 percent of his ideas are accurate makes him one of the more effective propagandists.
