I highly recommend anyone that still believes Chomsky's work is valuable to read On Chomsky. He has always been a pawn for wealthy Statesian capitalists as a form of faux-resistance.
Red sails is a very Marxist-Leninist corner of the internet. So there is some obvious bias.
Sure, all publications have bias. Red Sails cites their sources, you can double check if you doubt their claims.
I've read through the thread on Orwell. Another one of the regular leftist heros that somehow is hated by ML.
I've seen that the was quite a bit of misrepresenting sources. Overstaying his attraction to his niece to fill in sexual deviancy.
I haven't got the time to read and check sources on the Chomsky article, so I can't say anything on that.
I don't think a British fed known for keeping lists of Jewish people and suspected communists could be considered a "regular leftist hero." There's a reason his books are read in western schooling, and it's precisely to push people away from leftist organizing and to perpetuate the Red Scare. Can you give an example of genuine misrepresentation of Eric Blair?
