It's "campism". It simplify how you think, and while it's uncomfortable if you _really_ think about it, as long as you don't its easy.
I hate Trotsky and what he did in Ukraine and Kronstadt, but Trotkysts (anti-staline Marxists) had the correct vision on this since 1935: the enemy of your enemy isn't your friend.
While you first have to defend against the biggest inequality, the one with the greatest urgency (in the case of Chomsky, Russian imperialism/aggression) while knowing that you will have to fight against your former ally once this is won (censorship and factory work laws passed in Ukraine during the war are anti-worker, and will have to be discarded). You can apply the same idea everywhere.
