Etc. Even though Chomsky will always have a soft place in my heart
because he got me reinterested in politics, I have to say I find this
extremely exasperating. Why would anyone who calls him- or herself an
anarchist insist on drawing political lines that so perfectly coincide
with national borders as Chomsky does here? As for the rest, it's more
than annoying: it's also highly conservative. Yuck.
