I wonder what type of people watch Chomsky on this site: I'm an 18 year old college student with a curly afro majoring in Political Science - contemplating switching my major to Math. To hell with Politics!

I found it difficult, but I finally managed to masterbate to this video.

If you think about it, that's exactly what's ended up happening now; nutcases (namely the state and corporations) have taken over.
Although if implemented the correct way, a directly-democratic anarchist system would be able to structurally prevent any person or group from aggregating unto themselves too much power.
Having power as decentralized as possible and in everyone's hands equally makes it almost impossible to try to rule over anyone else.

i love noam, but i still dont understand how his anarchist vision would be in any way feasible in the real world. as anti-democratic as it sounds, you need to have concentrations of power to make sure nutcases (of which there are many) dont take over

Devout Mohamskies wear sweater vests and lay offerings of old, square, thick-lens glasses in front of podiums on Wednesdays, and twin chair sets on Saturday mornings- round 10. They drop by spoken-poetry night at the corner java lounge 3-evenings per week. Their perspective is everyone else's but their own which satifies the guilt component, and they're not sad but they're not happy either; when we die, we're dead.

To continue. I assure you he charges nothing for private meetings. At least never charged me. Huge majority of his talks and articles are viewable/listenable/readable on his official site for free. His speaking fees are ridiculously low and he only charges universities and media houses, never heard of him demanding pay for talking to activist audiences. Trying to portray him as some sort of fraud being out for the money is a silly and easily demonstrable lie.
