What he knew and when he knew it

Though highly critical of the Soviet Union, Chomsky has sometimes been more positive in his assessment of Communist movements in Asia, particularly in the 1960s and '70s when not all information on them was available in the West. 

Is this an assertion that if Chomsky only knew more about the bad things the communists did, he wouldn't have praised them so much?  (talk) 16:57, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
