Does anyone know if Stef has ever mentioned or talked about Noam Chomsky and his views? I find him confusing.

If so can you point me to the podcast/video.

Thankyou.

a little, but not specifically, I've hear him refer to him as "astute left-wing thinker..." and "It's kind of embarassing when he says x because he's a smart guy..."

 

I would love to see the two debate free markets

Chomsky gets mentioned by so many podcasters that it's hard to keep up with who said what.  A quick search failed to raise a link for what that's worth.

Chomsky was already battling the imperialist powers while I was still a teenager (I'm currently 55 years old) and he has more than earned my enduring respect.  I'm not sure what (Chomsky) views you're finding confusing as he's always made perfect sense to me even if I didn't agree with him.

I happened upon a 1970s recording of Noam Chomsky discussing politics which you might find interesting.  Over the last 30+ years, he's probably modified his views to some extent but even back then he had the bastards pegged.

You might also appreciate this audio of Lysander Spooner's "No Treason - The Constitution Of No Authority" if for no other reason than to realize that we're still fighting the same battles of libertarians back in the 19th century.  The only thing that's changed is the sophistication of our chains.

I recall Stef mentioning his admiration for Chomsky and his analysis of US foreign impreialism. However, Stef not so impressed with Chomsky and his inability/denial/refusal to recognize domestic tyranny or Chomsky's admiration for central planning agencies.
