This morning I emailed Dr. Chomsky asking what he felt this movement needed to succeed in making fundamental changes possible. This is his response.....
You’re right that power systems, government and private, will try to deflect and marginalize the quite impressive popular movements that are springing up around the country (and by now the world). What will matter ultimately is whether they can develop organizational structures with the staying power to persist in combating and reversing very dangerous tendencies in recent American history, in the whole variety of ways that are available, with enough commitment and energy.

Right as always. In a structural way this shows anarchism works.
wow, it's a shame you guys had to hijack an inspirational message from our nation's conscience with a bunch of hateful banter.
1.Take citizenship away from corporations.
Chomsky should be one of the top advisors to the next government... an OWC government.
Agreed, and I particularly like the statement -- what will matter ultimately is whether they can develop organizational structures with the staying power to persist in combating and reversing very dangerous tendencies in recent American history -- so perhaps you would consider our group's proposal of an alternative online direct democracy of government and business at http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategically_weighted_policies_organizational_operating_structures_tactical_investment_procedures-448eo and then join our group's 20 members committed to that plan at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
that is going to be one tall order to fill
Why don't you ask Noam why he was an apologist for Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia?
