If you read "The Splendid Blonde Beast" by Professor Christopher Simpson, he points out that it was Robert Lansing and his nephews, the Dulles Brothers who created the CIA, who then undermined international law and the Geneva Convention by not recognizing the Armenian genocide by the Turks and Germans.
The Germans were using the Armenian slave labor to built a railroad to extend the German empire and similarly the US elite argued the Germans would conquer the Philippines if the U.S. did not do so first. And so the US military invasion of the Philippines led to the death of over 200,000 people while the military police that controlled any rebellion in the Philippines was then imported back into the domestic US to create what's now known as the FBI.
So the FBI used "Cointelpro" tactics of assassination and disinformation to undermine the populist radical democracy movement of the 1960s just as similar state military violence was used against popular movements in the US as detailed in the book, "The People's History of the United States." So please don't confuse the mass mind controlled indoctrinated people of the US with the elite who indoctrinate them for the pursuit of a global imperial profit system.
For example Kissinger sits in the board of China's national petroleum system - or something to that effect. Or read the book, "Wall Street and the Russian Revolution" by Professor Richard Spence. Western industrialization has long since bypassed national political boundaries and a global elite system of control has been growing for a long time - leading to the World Trade Organization, the Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergers, etc.
I think you're overestimating the influence of Noam Chomsky while also misrepresenting his views. It's true that I did quote him in my debates for my activism and also my 1998 graduate paper that argued the sanctions on Iraq were genocidal and the US would invade again - that was largely based on Chomsky's analysis - but Chomsky never told people what to do.
Have you read the book "Wall Street and the Russian Revolution" by Professor Richard Spence? It's inspired by the research of Antony Sutton. It's well-documented that the Soviet Union was created by Western "investment." For example the Koch Brother's dad made his fortune in the Soviet Union and Chomsky does consider the Koch Brothers attacks on democracy and environmental policies to be, along with the Republican party, the greatest threat to life on Earth.
So if you listen to this talk by Chomsky here - which I doubt you have - he's pointing out that Gorbachev and De Gaulle were trying to establish a NATO FREE Europe. So the CIA had to get rid of De Gaulle - the CIA created out of the Nazis - and the military creeps in the Soviet Union had to push Gorbachev aside. It's kind of like Chomsky's analysis of the JFK Assassination. He emphasizes that JFK got to be president since JFK was a Cold War military promoter who escalating the military attacks and spending. So the assassination of JFK was basically just the elite having an in-fighting squabble. For example people like to claim that Jimmy Carter was too soft on the Soviet Union and thus made things worse but in fact the CIA had formed a private illegal Safari Club "Enterprise" team that worked in league with the Trilateral Commission.
Chomsky points out that it was the Trilateral Commission and Zbig who really controlled Carter - hence the Carter Doctrine, as the Monroe Doctrine of the Middle East that then escalated the military attacks in that region for US Petrodollar hegemony. So Chomsky at times in his career has questioned whether industrial technology as Western development is actually the proper direction for humanity and Chomsky has emphasized that in fact it is the nonwestern indigenous cultures that are on the frontlines of defending the ecology of Earth against Western attacks creating the abrupt global warming crisis.
So Chomsky considers the Cold War to be a false framework of debate as the military spending in the US has been the true "socialist" economy and so the fear-mongering of the Cold War has been used to escalate military spending with the tax money handed off to the elite corporate contractors feeding at the government trough. The public has been lied to then about what the "Free Market" supposedly is. See for example "The Soviet Union Versus Socialism" by Noam Chomsky published in Our Generation, Spring/Summer, 1986. Chomsky believes in "libertarian socialism" which is also called anarcho-syndicalism based on economic democracy.

Worker control and party/state control "revolutionaries" have often been at war, sometimes with guns and bombs.
It started way back in 1903 when Lenin wrote "What Is To Be Done?" Lenin wrote that the working class by itself would remain forever focused on economic issues, but would never arrive at the idea of socialism. Therefore a vanguard party was needed to lead the way. And in fact the Bolsheviks began actually withdrawing cadre from factories and placing them in centralized party organs.
In only 2 years, Lenin was proven wrong. Workers during the 1905 Revolution began spontaneously forming soviets, without help from any of the parties.
In 1917, as in 1905, workers formed democratic factory committees again, but Bolsheviks, once they took power, almost immediately began taking them over. To see exactly how this happened read, "The Bolsheviks and Workers' Control 1917-1921. It is almost a day by day account.
The conflict between worker self management and party/state control has raged ever since. It erupted during the Spanish Cvil War when Stalinists killed "ultra leftists," in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and even again (almost) in the Soviet Union in 1989. Gorbachev began to experiment with worker elections to replace party appointees in factories. He pulled back under threat from the Party, but this policy was still an important reason for the army coup against him. Also, in today's Venezuela, advocates of workers' control often have to struggle against the official Party.
Both sides, of course, usually call themselves "socialists." At the Kronstadt rebellion of 1921, both sides sang "The Internationale."
But the most classic account of this struggle is still "Bolsheviks and Workers' Control." Be sure to read it.
