Nuanced arguments about how the West must be lying about the genocide in Cambodia.
Dude, I am okay with people generally critical of the West. Especially within the context of the Cold War. Chomsky goes beyond that. His initial assumption is that everything the West is doing is bad.
That means his thoughts aren’t useful or insightful. They don’t change based on the situation. It’s just a better sounding version of your typical anti-west screed from anyone ranging from edgy 14 year old Marxists trying to piss off their parents or some aging hippie.
And it isn’t propaganda, it’s what he wrote, praising the regime of brutal murderers and discarding the accounts of survivors and escapees as propaganda.
And here’s an article shining light on this propaganda.

That’s the first sentence in the second paragraph. Did you read the rest?
Can you show me what Chomsky wrote that you mentioned?
