"The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals." ~ James Fenimore Cooper

Noam Chomsky is no anarchist, "best known" or otherwise. He is a statist through and through. Read his stuff and this becomes readily apparent. Dr. Long is full of shit. Who Is Chomsky?
KenK, Long is actually calling Chomsky out. Read the article, you'll probably agree with it. Here's the money quote:
"If the state really is intervening massively and systematically on behalf of the “potentate” and against the “starving subject” – as Chomsky must admit that it is, since his research explicitly demonstrates just this – why on earth would he expect that power imbalance to remain unchanged once that intervention ceases?"
