Noam Chomsky's politics
Capitalism, nature, socialism, vol. 11, no. 4, 2000, pp. 141–152
Abstract
Despite his influence & popularity, Noam Chomsky has rarely been involved in debate or criticism by the American Left. 2710 The author calls Chomsky a hero, yet argues that Chomsky’s work is deficient in three areas: (1) his propaganda model of public consciousness overstates the role of the media; (2) his concept of an “instinct for freedom” lacks support; & (3) his work reflects an inconsistent notion of what constitutes political freedom. J. R. Callahan.
