"...has there ever been any actual difference between Chomsky and Leninism?" That's nonsense, of course, given his frequent explicit attacks on Leninism over more than 40 years. One example that occurs is an interview with the NLR years ago. I'll see if I can find it. In it he distibnguishes between the libertarian Lenin of State & Revolution & his later practice. The latter is most explicitly condemned in his article "The Soviet Union versus Socialism." --CGE
