for god's sake; show some respect for chomsky!
get a haircut and arrange some better audio equipment!
just because you are interviewing a scientist does not mean you can show up in your pyjamas and act like you're at home!

@xjtbarnesx The best book as an introduction to anarchism I can recommand might be L'anarchisme of Daniel Guérin (french) but I don't know if it's translated!
-
Fromm has never been an anarchist! He was representing at the begining of his life the frankfort school with Adorno, Marcuse... They were more into a post marxist thinking which is by the way very interesting! If you want to read about anachism you should look around Bakounine, Kropotkine or Proudhon for the classics. Rudolf Rocker is also a very important author for the anarco syndicalism mouvement (chomsky is often refering to him).
Sory for my English but I am not good enought

Chomsky is god

No, not yet. I have been interested in the anarchist movement which has a rich past. I have come across some of the anarchist thinkers and writers.
Fromm is in the tradition of anarchism. So is Chomsky who calls himself an anarchist.
I am about to read a book that Chomsky suggested is a good start. It is Howard Zinn - People's History of the United States.

@iankyoko Did you ever find any good recommendations? I'm similarly interested.

@gabrielg01 Well, the concept of the alienation of man is very often tied to Marxian thought so in this case one could say this was appropriate... and this guy is not at all a Scandinavia-type social democrat, you aren't familiar with his works and ideas
"The slogan of the labor movement is 'solidarity,' and the opposite of solidarity is alienation."
Which is why I say, "anti-union is anti-human."

I always get depressed listening to these interviews. If only he wasn't so right all the time...
I'm personally very glad I live in the inner city myself. I'd never live in a suburb.
