Actually he has, but perhaps not in those simple terms. He's written quite a bit about how corporations are totalitarian institutions, controlling every aspect of a worker's work life. We are all familiar with the fact that we park our free speech rights at the door when we go to work in the morning.
Chomsky makes several observations about America during WW II in his recent book, "Understanding Power.' He makes the accurate observation that the U.S. basically turned into a fascist country, what with its suspension of civil liberties, imprisonment of dissenters, creation of concentration camps, and so on.
Interestingly enough, I'm currently preparing several pages for my website with articles that detail anarchist resistance to militarism during WW II. So far, I've read the articles on anarchists in Japan and France. It was rather revealing to discover that several French anarchists involved in the Resistance were imprisoned with Communist "comrades" and later abandoned by them because their resistance was sufficiently pro-France nationalism.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
