But I'm sure you thought you were being very clever when you did that, so I'll give credit where credit is due. Daldoma, it appears you worked very hard to craft a sick burn and I appreciate your attempt to enjoin us to believe your point of view. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

thank you for noticing

srsly tho, chomsky is p much harrison. power is ill begotten, authority is mostly bunk, the elites are playing by different rules and rewriting them to fit their ends

solution: n/a, but let's spend 30 years talking about it

dementia too

dude, I'm not going to engage meaningless platitudes.

You just did. How is that word of the day calender working out for you? :P

You mention his "works" but make no reference to what these are. This is what happens when people get their ideas from hack bands like Rage Against the Machine.

[Hasbinbad]

meaningful yet general critique: noam chomsky may slip into rhetoric when describing the united states and minimize the role of totalitarianism in soviet communism when describing the cold war.

meaningless platitude: chomsky has invalid positions

I guess you don't bother to put into context the rest of my statements throughout the thread? The invalidation of anarchist ideas due to the inevitable tendency for systems to become centralized over time before breaking up again. A kind of move from disorder to order.

Tribes arrange themselves in various orders and create social hierarchies so even on the small scale where it works (but only in isolation) it is still never a true anarchist system.

You could not have an anarchist system (god the contradictions in that term) unless it encompassed everything. You think an anarchist country for lack of a better term would be able to maintain that system with outside pressures from trade or foreign military? It is a pipe dream because it requires everyone to buy into it.

It's hard to take you seriously. I'll just take this paragraph for example, because the other two are built upon this kind of thinking and I don't have a lot more time.

I don't know what you mean by this at all. I've address what you've said. I cannot guess at some implied context.

The invalidation of anarchist ideas

This never happened. Nobody has ever invalidated "anarchist ideas." If you ever invalidate "anarchist ideas," go pick up your prizes and honorary doctorates to the most prestigious of universities.

But to be more specific to YOUR point:

due to the inevitable tendency for systems

bolded: citation needed. this is a meaningless platitude without some kind of further explanation.

You can't just say things and expect people to take you seriously.

Electron spin is controlled by alpha waves emitted by our brains.

See?

You are the one masquerading as an intellectual here so perhaps you should study people like Plato before jumping into Anarchism which you obviously do not understand. Specifically you can delve into Plato's cycle of decline of regimes from the Republic. Should have been required reading for someone like you.

AS a linguist the guy knows his shit. As a political critic he offers no true solution and garners his support from burnouts.

Anarchy is the current state of the world.
