I think it was Justin Schwartz who pointed out on the old Spoons Marxism list that Chomsky's "anarchism" is a pretense. In fact, a lot of Anarchists have taken to attacking Chomsky for being a liberal reformist, like in a recent issue of Anarchy (a miserable little self-indulgent journal that I wouldn't push on my worst enemy). Some critics suggest that Chomsky is actually a left-Marxist, whether he admits it or not. There's an interesting essay dealing with this at www.neutral.com/lip/sa_anarc.html

Jim, you mentioned that the CNT was secretly guided by the FAI. I find this intriguing. Can you provide me with a source? I'd love to to needle some of my anarchist friends about this. Most of the literature on the Civil War is heavily pro-anarchist; I'd like to find a more "objective" source.
