On this episode of The Time of Monsters, Daniel Bessner on a radical critic’s achievements and the limits of protest.
For nearly seven decades, Noam Chomsky has been the most important critic of American foreign policy. Daniel Besser, co-host of the Nation podcast American Prestige, recently reviewed for the magazine a new book authored by Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson, The Myth of American Idealism. In his review, Daniel both extolled Chomsky’s monumental achievement and raised questions about the weakness of antiwar movements in challenging the terrible policies that Chomsky has so diligently analyzed.
Daniel and I talked about Chomsky’s legacy as well as the way the establishment has been able to success thwart popular resistance.
