How was Hugo Chávez influenced by Noam Chomsky?
That's interesting. Can you give me an example of a specific idea that Chávez adopted from Chomsky?
One example is the concept of media manipulation by the government and the need for an alternative media. Chomsky argued that the mainstream media is controlled by the elites and serves their interests, while a true democracy requires a media that is independent and diverse. Chávez adopted this idea and created state-run media outlets to challenge the hegemonic narrative of the mainstream media.
