I have anarchists leanings but have not been able to understand anarchism in a way that I myself find acceptable. Chomsky's explanations does it for me though. As I recall he says in the video,. something like, "Anarchism is the belief that authoritarian structure must justify themselves." He got that one straight. Now if only people would have the guts to stand up to these individuals and institutions and demand that they justify their undemocratic apporach. Where they (authoritarian institutions and individuals) can justify it, like the example Chomsky gives of restrainging his 3 year old grand daughter running out into the street, without her consent, fine. Otherwise these authoritarians must go.
