I personally find much of Chomsky's political analysis to be very compelling, although his penchant for one-sided polemicism and for not providing opinions on the other sides of the issues weakens his case. Also, although I respect his unflinching commitment, his uncompromising positions, forcefully presented, have led to his being sidelined in much serious political discourse; and that is, I think, extremely unfortunate. His political positions are scary ones, but ones that deserve, in my opinion, a far greater exposure and hearing. This may be one of the best introductions to Chomsky's political thought. An important book to read, whatever your opinion of his arguments.
