Noam Chomsky was the most prominent left-wing intellectual in the West for over 50 years. Recent revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein may complicate this legacy. In this video I take a look at Chomsky, aspects of his career, and what we can learn from it. I also investigate common claim made against him by his detractors (that he is a ‘Genocide Denier’ regarding Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda).
