Great but Chomsky applies a different standard to domestic policy. During Covid Chomsky said the unvaccinated should self isolate themselves but then added "if it really reaches the point where they are severely endangering people, then of course you have to do something about it". So trust the same government and media that decided World War II era Japanese Americans were or could be severely endangering people and that "did something about it" by forcing them into internment camps. Of course such reactions can't really be limited to domestic policy - what if citizens decide to speak out against the Iran war and the media and government say they are "endangering" national security? Chomsky surely knows about Eugen Debs being imprisoned for speaking out against World War 1 and the draft.
I'm not saying don't buy this book (I largely agree with his view on foreign policy), just know that Chomsky has some double standards.
