Maybe they just describing Chomsky's position in a weird way and everything isn't that bad?

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

it's a potential teaching moment for anyone lurking on raddle that hasn't yet thought about these questions

Can't wait for the Liberal-Syndicalist-Marxist-Leninist Coalition to form in 2030.

it is a transitional period that is necessary so in 10 thousand or more years all hierarchy would just wither away. it's very hegelian you see

Well they're all Americans so I figure you lot should take some responsibility for letting them fester.

Thank you comrade, that was diabolically-- i, uhm, mean, it was dialectically edifying

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.
