I would like to have understood his objection to Hayek as well.  "

He seems to give some indication in the interview: 

"Hayek was the kind of 'libertarian' who was quite tolerant of such free societies as Pinochet's Chile, one of the most grotesque of the National Security States instituted with US backing or direct initiative during the hideous plague of terror and violence that spread over the hemisphere from the 60s through the 80s. He even sank to the level of arranging a meeting of his Mont Pelerin society there during the most vicious days of the dictatorship. "

Thanks – a very interesting article.  I’m surprised at how vehemently Chomsky shrugs her off as evil.  He doesn’t give any explanation in the article; do you have any information about WHY he thinks Rand is evil? 

 

He also summarily lumps Hayek in the same paragraph with Rand.  That is also a surprise to me.  Too bad the article is so short.  I would like to have understood his objection to Hayek as well.

Chomsky is one of my favorite thinkers,

 

Mine too, he's one of the true geniuses of the 20th century. I'm especially fond of his bang-on assessment of Ayn Rand: "Rand in my view is one of the most evil figures of modern intellectual history." (http://goo.gl/vY47p)
