First of all Chomsky is still alive, and secondly, I'm almost certain that he won't be remembered for his poltical writings, but for his scientific contributions.
People don't even read his very early political works much anymore. His new material is what gets most consumed and keeps his name in people's minds.
- msutherl 15y agoChomsky's writings are still standard reading for people in various activist communities. He will most likely be remembered for both, and for the fact that he contributed both.
