Good Quote

Browsing Chomsky on Anarchism at Barnes & Noble today, I came across this quotation from Daniel Bell:
It has been war rather than peace that has been largely responsible for the acceptance of planning and technocratic modes in government.
Conservatives who sincerely dislike big government might think about that one.

  1. I see that book everyday at work. I'll look that up.
    Chomsky himself is an unreliable anarchist.

  2. He is indeed. He says that no anarchist can believe in private ownership of the means of production. This would seem to rule out private ownership by anyone, even workers.
