Caleb Maupin treats us to a spirited takedown of the “sophisticated ignorance” at work in Noam Chomsky’s widely-viewed (and dangerously misleading) analysis of the role that Lenin and the Bolshevik experiment played in the history of socialism worldwide. 

He doesn’t mince words, interpolating Chomsky’s “bullshit” with his own eye-opening corrections, handily refuting the all-too-familiar anti-communist tropes of a mere intellectual who’s only ever seen “real socialism” in his own head.
