It's fairly simple. Such people, esp on this list, who are Chomsky fans
I have also found to be highly anti-Israel, Pro-Arab, anti-capital,
anti-libertarian, pro-collectivist, anti-science/technology,
pro-luddite/green mysticism, anti-rationalist, pro-spiritualist.

I won't raise more hackles by applying a well known political label to
people who think this way, as I think it is rather plain-as-day, so
nothing further need be said.
