It is really way past the time, the American left outgrow Chomsky.
The latest truth out article was pretty bad in ways I can& #39;t even explain. https://truthout.org/articles/we-cant-let-covid-19-drive-us-into-authoritarianism/">https://truthout.org/articles/...

Then there is the absolutely misleading and irresponsible "bothsidesing" about US and Russia and the nuclear treaty.
There is no credible case that Russia has not lived upto it.

Both sides are not.carrying out provocations. It is irresponsible for him to say that.
This part about the hapless, poor, Jamie Dimon.

Wtf is he talking about? It barely made a blip on the radar. It got some people talking. But it is not an example of how the solution can be reached.
Who remembers discussing climate change in 2018?

I don& #39;t know what to say....but I love the sunrise movement, but we haven& #39;t had a functioning Democracy in decades.

But, I have a few more observations to add. He doesn& #39;t quite seem to grasp that capitalism can capture and hijack any institution. For example, in an interview in 2014 with a former vet, he said:

Apparently, Robert McNamara and Lenin have remarkably similar statements.
