So what?
Some old fart has an opinion.
An erroneous one - at that.
The minute you give even the slightest more credence to intellectual theories that people have...due to their 'reputation'?
That is the day you become a gullible fool.
Like the empty saps who actually base their lives on 'leap of faith' religions.
And then try and ram their God Club nonsense, down everyone else's throats.
1) democracy should NOT be fully participatory.
Only the most intelligent, well-read people (100 IQ minimum) should be allowed to vote.
We don't allow morons to judge trials.
Nor should we allow morons to choose our leaders.
2) the government has a moral obligation to make sure that every citizen has adequate shelter/food/safety/health care/education.
And a government shelter with a walk-in clinic/small hospital, free wi-fi and online, basic education in every, regional center - would cover that.
Throw in a few, necessary extras (like a reasonable-sized military - not the bloated whale we have).
And it would cost about 1/10'th of the current, federal budget.
Once, every citizen is guaranteed the basics of existence?
The rest is a bonus...and entirely up to the people alone to obtain.

Only a completely and willfully ignorant MAGA minion would post as you did here, Earl. I doubt you've ever read any of Chomsky's works. And what's with the biblical quote? WTF does that have to do with anything?
I defy you or any of the dummies who thanked you for your drivel to post just ONE quote from one of Chomsky's works that advocates anarchy. If you can't, then you're a perfect doormat for Trump & the current MAGA GOP congress.

Of course, all the "bonuses" that made it possible for YOU to be born and raised and live to the point where you can waste time BS'ing on the net is okay. All the "old farts" who created the very educational and communication system that YOU use daily only matter if they don't rock your mental comfort zone with (GASP!) critical thinking.
And despite the FACT that there are folk smarter than you and I, we still get to participate in determining a gov't (local & federal) that affects how we live....unless you're into being subjugated by an "elite"...you know, the kind of system the Founding Fathers were not about (to their version).
Chomsky wrote the book on language (linguistics) that still stands today. So yeah, his social observations are worth mulling over...as opposed to the partisan clods who have been throwing rocks at him for decades (William F. Buckley tried back in the day....got his ass handed to him on his own TV show).

The misuse of "democracy" as pure democracy is discussed by Aristotle. He calls pure democracy a system where by mere population the majority confiscates the property of the few. But what Aristotle means by democracy is that the majority do have a right to make laws on how wealth is managed. For the good of democracy, the wealthy class does have to yield some power to the majority.
Communism has killed more of its own people than any other political/economic system in history.
THE SHIT DOESN'T WORK, NEITHER OF THOSE TWO FOOLS EVER LIVED IT.
CHOMSKY WAS A MILLIONAIRE, AND ARISTOLE WAS AN ARISTOCRAT.
THEY RELIED ON DULLARDS LIKE YOU TO LISTEN TO THE SHIT THEY WOULDN'T DREAM OF DOING THEMSELVES.

“Best known for his revolutionary work in linguistics and cognitive science, ***Noam Chomsky is an avowed anarchist.***It seems a like a contradiction. Anarchy is so often portrayed as chaos for chaos’s sake, a perverse impulse to implode a society that’s the product of thousands of years of social progress. What business does a celebrated thinker have advocating for something that seems so fundamentally thoughtless?”

Avowed"-that has been asserted, admitted, or stated publicly.
Now, take a hike, pendejo.
