      Not sure I’m concerned with Noam “Genocide isn’t a big deal when Socialists do it” Chomsky’s take.

        I see this posted a lot, but the only thing I’ve ever seen sourced of Noam saying anything like this is more “be wary of when the United States reports things that align in its imperial interests” rather than the oft-repeated “genocide good”

            Idk maybe but when I asked for a source what I saw was much more “beware America” instead of “Stalin did nothing wrong”

              “Beware America for making the Soviet union starve out ethnic Ukrainians they saw as undesirables, which isn’t genocide because I don’t like America”

              • Noam Chomsky, probably.
