How was Hugo Chávez influenced by Noam Chomsky?
Interesting. Did Chomsky ever comment on Chávez's presidency?
Chomsky had mixed feelings about Chávez's presidency. While he supported Chávez's efforts to alleviate poverty and create social programs, he also criticized some of the authoritarian tendencies in his government. Nevertheless, Chomsky saw Chávez as an important figure in the anti-imperialist struggle and praised his efforts to challenge US hegemony in Latin America.
