Chomsky's anarchism

"So here are some key components of Chomsky's anarchism: an awareness of anarchist history and how it still retains a freshness and urgency in the light of today's challenges; a broad and generous definition of anarchism that links left and council communists in its critique of capitalism and sees them as nat­ural allies; the central importance of class in any critique of capitalism and in creating anarchy; and a belief in people's innate goodness, which is reflected in actions and structures that contribute to what Rocker, in Anarcho-Syndicalism, calls "a definite trend in (he historic development of mankind, which ... strives for the free, unhindered unfolding of all the individual and social forces in life." All of this is allied to a flexible methodology through which to accom­plish this unfolding, a willingness to change tactics, to consider a variety of strategies, and a reluctance to speak with too much certainty or rigidness."
