Yeah Chomsky,an anarchist that regularly tells you to vote Democrats.
pathetic behavior from shit liberals say, they very much fucking know many western anarchists are just radlib idiot pieces of shit
I genuinely had no idea Chomsky was an anarchist. I thought he was one of those postmodern post-marxists who write takedowns of Stalin in university libraries.
Chomsky is what zero materialism does to an MFer. Here he is, literally arguing for MLism in a completely different context:
I’m not in favor of people being in cages.
On the other hand I think people ought to be in cages if there’s a saber-toothed tiger wandering around outside and if they go out of the cage the saber-toothed tiger will kill them. So sometimes there’s a justification for cages. That doesn’t mean cages are good things.
State power is a good example of a necessary cage. There are saber-toothed tigers outside; they are called transnational corporations which are among the most tyrannical totalitarian institutions that human society has devised. And there is a cage, namely the state, which to some extent is under popular control. The cage is protecting people from predatory tyrannies so there is a temporary need to maintain the cage, and even to extend the cage.

Is this an argument for neolib governments? Lmao. As long as no hammer and sickle it’s fine.
Who knows? Who cares to find out? Chomsky is an ideological windvane.
He’s… fine when he’s criticizing the US empire but there are much better sources out there and Chomsky is only useful for his prominence but much like Richard Wolff he’s got some really trash takes (barely) below the surface.
Is it because he’s an op? Is he a reflection of the ideological hangover from the New Left era? Is he just an opportunist? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Liberal gives a shitty opinion, reddit mod: “no attack on anarchist”, for the action proves that anarchists are liberal.
Armchair anarchist are worthless backstabbers.
This mod has been consistently banning MLs off of SLS for a while now. SLS has been taken over by feds…or worse, radlibs.
Yep. Now GenZedong sub in on that way too, i have been banned there yesterday, with absolutely identical reason as from SLS. Not much lose to be honest, not after the utterly shameful mod post and their capitulation to nazis.
I see that sub moderation went even worse since i was banned, they used to not be very enforcing of dunking on anarchists (hell, significant part of posts on main was it), and even if you got banned it was for a week usually.
“Attacking anarchists is not allowed here”
