Bookchin's social ecology (199x):
Chomsky's anarcho-syndicalism (1970): sometimes identified as a “fellow-traveler” of
anarchism, since he does advocate engagement with the State, Chomsky's influence upon
linguists and American foreign policy cannot be understated. It is difficult to hypothesize
which domain he has had the greatest impact upon, or which legacy will be the longest
lasting. Born into a lively Jewish anarchist culture, Chomsky briefly participated in the
Kibbutzim experiment in Israel. In his classic “For Reasons of State”, Chomsky wrote the
modern historical account of anarchism in his essay “Notes on Anarchism”. A 1970
speech on “Government in the Future”, Chomsky also aligned himself with the anarchosyndicalist,
council communist, and left-Marxist tradition. Due to his vast writings on the
aggressions of US empire, Chomsky has been able to attract considerable attention to his
premise that those who are concerned with creating a better future, should commit
themselves to searching on forms of domination, challenge them, and work to dismantle
those without legitimacy (which he claims most domination lacks).
