    I think that Chomsky thinks he is a “pragmatic” anarchist, which in his view means accepting certain hierarchies if people decide they’re “necessary”. If he were making pragmatic tradeoffs in the process of actually, actively organizing an anarchistic society, I’d say that is a necessary evil to be dealt with in time. Barring that, I think it’s an unnecessary own-goal at best. Personally, I don’t know him, and have no reason to trust his good intentions in insisting that fellow anarchists accept, quite oxymoronically, certain anarchist hierarchies.

      So you think Chomsky thinks he is an anarchist. But you don’t think he’s an anarchist, is that right?

        In essence, yes, I personally think he’s a minarchist.

        I’m don’t hold anyone else to that, though; if you prefer to consider him an anarchist, feel free.
