> Chomsky is a demagogue
Would you care to provide facts supporting such a claim? Else it is nothing but an ad hominem to denigrate a person.
> he has a particular worldview
Who has not?
> any discussion of history is secondary to that
Examples? Proof? Sources?
> He has received wide criticism
Who, being a public and outspoken figure, hasn't? That doesn't say anything on the validity or quality of said criticism.
> he has a particular worldview he wants to push
Exactly what you are trying to do here.
I know nothing about Chomsky. I have not read a single line of his writing. Nor heard any interview with him. I can neither defend his ideas nor critique them. I can just see someone not arguing in good faith for the betterment of a discussion but denigrating someone to push one's own agenda (without providing any sort of support for one's claims).
