Gee Chomsky, sorry we don't share the commitment to "progress" of your good buddy Pol Pot.

Trump, Bernie and Rand, all three of them seem to be critical of both parties (more of the other than theirs, of course), but Trump is the only one who's voiced it openly and directly IIRC. I don't really like Bernie or Trump, but at least they're better than the other candidates from their parties.

He's not wrong. Read up on all the bullshit they do in congress like spoiled children. Blocking bills because it's not their way, trying to lower taxes on the rich so middle class has to pay more. War mongering. Did anyone forget who started the wars in the middle east? That's right a REPUBLICAN. Cutting social systems because they believe in the old drag yourself up by your bootstraps bullshit. The only thing I agree with cuckservatives on is gun control needing to be lessened, that will stop all the crime when people are scared of getting a bullet in the box.

Speaking of extremists, Chomsky is a Khmer genocide denier and a huge fan of Pol Pot and Mao.

Chomsky calling anyone an extreme ideologue?

Noam Chomsky is a left brain analyst. The world is not governed by simple logic. Any logic has another logic which contracts it. For isn't the wave /particle duality of quantum physics unexplainable by simple linear logic. Most people choose a logic that aligns with there talents and self interest and through self deception acts as if the world would implement there self centered logic the world's be a perfect place. Also, central planning sucks.

Any logic has another logic which contracts it.
No it does not, in that case it means that one of the "logics" are wrong. Contradiction just mean that something is logically false.
For isn't the wave /particle duality of quantum physics unexplainable by simple linear logic.
No, because the wave /particle duality of quantum physics is a premise and not a argument. Logic is the usage of premises to come to a conclusion, it is nothing wrong with quantum physics that you can not do that. Which is why quantum physics is a science. If it was impossible to come to a logical conclusion based on it then it would not be called a science.

Logic does not mean what you think it means, it is not the same as "opinion"

That's a laugh. I certainly have no love for the GOP, but Chomsky's in no position to criticize. The policy of the modern American left is "actively exacerbate bad situations AND bomb (ie: drone strikes)".
