[lbo-talk] mount veron manifesto

[C. G. Estabrook]

"...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
