Let me just say that I don’t really regard myself as an anarchist thinker – Noam Chomsky[1]

Anyone know where exactly this is from? Sounds familiar, but it don't look like it's actually from On Anarchism.

edit: Ah, nevermind. It's from an interview: The Relevance of Anarcho-syndicalism

Let me just say I don’t really regard myself as an anarchist thinker. I’m a derivative fellow traveler [of anarchism], let’s say. Anarchist thinkers have constantly referred to the American experience and to the ideal of Jeffersonian democracy very very favorably. You know, Jefferson’s concept that the best government is the government than governs least, or Thoreau’s addition to that, that the best government is the one that doesn’t govern at all, is one that’s often repeated by anarchist thinkers through modern times.

He is still following around a bag of rags- lol. This was a fun read. Oh and he trashes the linguistic theory too. This is just wonderful. Not sarcasm btw.
