Bertrand Russel was the author of many college philosophy textbooks taught during the 1960's. He was considered to be the most influential academic philosopher of his day. Ayn Rand attacked Russel in "The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution".

Chomsky gave a lecture in Seattle recently were he critiqued Clinton's war over Kosovo. The ideas expressed would have fit right in with many discussions here on FreeRepublic.

I have yet to read the New Left. I guess I will have to now. Did anyone ever critique Maynard Keynes? Did Von Misis ever go head to head on Keynes? I would love to have seen (read) Von Misis tear Keynes apart.

Who the hell does Chomsky think he is? Is he a political science professor? I'm sure this guy has some forest green radical hippie followers that do the national protest rounds - WTO, anti-Bush, ect... Chomsky reminds me of Lenin. A person who did squat but showed up later to take the credit. Chomsky lets his little brown shirt socialist-welfare army do all the work.
