Noam Chomsky: His relevance and sanity

I wonder where Noam Chomsky is on everyone's radar.

Recently he said that the United States and Britain are the greatest evils in the world.

Chomsky is a believer in the noble savage. He believes that human nature is good and war didn't exist before culture and that if we only took down the state than well-being would flourish because the greedy controllers wouldn't be in the good people's way anymore.

Here is Pinker being nice about why he's crazy.

Here is the lunacy in his own words...

Brian Ferguson, the "serious" anthropologist that he cites also thinks that chimp warfare is caused by human influence, basically we stress them out so they go nuts and kill each other.

My theory is that every time you find someone who is very progressive, liberal but completely wrong about foreign policy, religion, legal philosophy, the motivations of anyone but themselves etc, (Say, Glen Greenwald) you will find a Chomsky fan. As Sam Harris put it, he is truly the father of the regressive left. And it really comes down to a belief in the noble savage, which Chomsky completely endorses. So, this belief is basically at the heart of the lunacy you will see for the rest of your life coming from the loony left. Just for your information. Did I get anything wrong?
