Every now and then I go back over to see what Noam has to say. Today there are 24 posts on his site going back to May. I have a link for him on my “All My Links” page if you are interested.
I was. After about two days of posting when he first began his blog, he decided to take down the comments capability. He was flooded. Some of it pretty irrational–but that goes with his territory. All that I read that were reasonable took him to task on some portion of his opinion, and many did it quite respectfully and with some thought involved. He never answered a single challenge. He doesn’t have to–he’s Chomsky.
Since then he has added the capability to comment on his posts. You simply pay a small fee, and you are granted the privilege. I thought that was a pretty good idea for an anti-capitalist.
As of today, there is not a single comment on any of his posts.
All his readers must also be anti-capitalists.
