As a USAnarchist, I too love Classical Liberalism and rebranding Lockean concepts such as the "Right of revolution" to suit my tepid brand of Anarcho-Social Democracy.

We're fucking terrible, oh my god.

The fact that they're interpreting Chomsky's position in that way and haven't rejected him or that position is a problem for various reasons.

They're either twisting Chomsky's words and intentions around to suit a reformist, non-anarchist framework or they're interpreting everything correctly and legitimately believe that anarchism is compatible with hierarchy. The sentiment that they're spouting is similar to Locke's "once a government becomes tyrannical, it should be overthrown; but government isn't inherently tyrannical" idea.

you can't ignore a majority view, you're constantly accosted by it whenever you try to engage with anarchy in any anarchist space. if it's never discredited, it'll just embed itself even deeper like the 'anticiv is fascism' argument that's become so prevalent. and then anyone with a view counter to the dominant narrative gets chastened and excluded from the few spaces that purport to be set aside for them to interact with likeminds

i'm an anarchist because i constantly question everything that doesn't make sense to me, maybe you're ok with turning the other cheek or whatever, but that's not me. i prod and poke at every opportunity

not that i'm going to engage with this particular person beyond linking to their nonsense here
