He wrote the book in 1988. The film adaption was in 1992. Noam Chomsky is an anarcho-syndicalist (far-left. However he spoke out against Antifa and defended the far-right and alt-right's free speech. So he is cancelled by some of the modern left). But he warned about the media's ability to manipulate the public and manufacture consent among the public 32 years ago. This is more relevant than ever with the COVID-19 fearmongering by the media and government.
He's an honest leftist, which just makes him a naive idealist when it comes to the reality of a power structure. You get to be that way when you're a life long academic who never works in the real world.
Going far left just changes who the elite are, not any of the issues you'll have and disparity between groups. Or is someone going to tell me with a straight face that the soviet leaders weren't living in luxury while their people had nothing.
