Self-proclaimed “fellow traveler” to the anarchist tradition and critic of U.S. foreign policy, Noam Chomsky has come to my alma mater and my “intellectual” friends in the desert are all Chris-Matthews-tingly-bits wishing that they were born 20 years later so that they could be in his orbit.

Chomsky will serve in the capacity of a linguistics professor at the U of A. Although his position on U.S. foreign policy and politics may be quite radical, Chomsky recently came out as a critic of the AntiFa movement days ago claiming them “often wrong in principle” and “generally destructive”.

“When confrontation shifts to the arena of violence, it’s the toughest and most brutal who win – and we know who that is. That’s quite apart from the opportunity costs – the loss of the opportunity for education, organizing, and serious and constructive activism.”-Noam Chomsky Interview/Washington Examiner

He also said this:

“It’s a major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant.”-Noam Chomsky
