You are mising the great irony of noam chomskys life.

i·ro·ny /ˈīrənē/ noun noun: irony

the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

His contributions to linguistics lead to a technical revolution in the computer industry that did more to drive a nail into the coffin of communism and insure that captalism - which he despises - will continue long past his life time inspite of all his efforts.

That is both recursive and ironic.

I have little doubt that it doesn't escape him and that it has driven him nuts!
