More vitriolic mush: Brad, you can read whatever you want into this. Chomsky, however, makes no such claim.
Chomsky's main points, as usual, stand your irrelevant sniping: the plutocrats and their policy advisors do run our world and don't give a damn about most folks. You may adhere to your fantasies of do-gooders heroically urging policies to help all of us, but that is all they are.
