  • Chomsky is very Anti-USSR, calling it a coup staged by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Very anti-Marxist, comparing Marxism with religious fanatics. I am not kidding, years ago, I listened to an interview he did on Robert McChesney’s old podcast. McChesney was a leftist media prof, and once part of the editorial committee of longtime Socialist magazine Monthy Review. During the interview, Chomsky talked about how it was that the Berlin Wall fell, because East Germany and the USSR was not Socialism. McChesney asked Chomsky what country is closest to Socialism, and Chomsky says the USA because of all its freedoms. I had to re-listen that part to make sure I didn’t misheard. That explains why he calls himself some sort of Anarchist, but always tells his fans to vote Democrats lol













  • Watch Danny Haiphong’s last interview with Ali Alizadeh. He points out the reason why Russia/China are not eager to form a stronger pact with Iran. There are two factions within Iran, the Conservatives and Liberal Reformists. The Liberal Reformists are always looking to normalize and build stronger ties with the West, including the USA. Every time Russia/China offers stronger ties with Iran, the liberals will just stall. Not sure if it’s true, but he points out that the last time Xi Jinping visited Iran, he was put in a hotel room that didn’t even have a working toilet. I would think the strong Iranian oligarchs are part of the liberal reformists, since they have a lot of assets in the West.
