I don't know so much about the transformational grammar, but the political stuff....yes.
One of the engineers I worked with at Apple was a Chomsky student from MIT. He decided to dedicate the non-working part of his life to the Palestinian cause. So, on that level, Chomsky will survive. He had many students, and he changed many lives. My own introduction to the reality of the Middle East was through reading "Fateful Triangle."
It's not about fame. It's about sowing seeds.

Really? I wonder how many on this list can tell us a lot about William Lloyd Garrison or Senator George Hoar (Rep. Mass.)!
In their day they were as important as Chomsky is now.
