Chomsky on Anarchism

'There is no reason to suppose that...the currrent structures of authority and domination are graven in stone.'

Chomsky on Anarchism

Selected and edited by Barry Pateman

From the back cover -

'The record of anarchist ideas, and even more, of the inspiring struggles of people who have thought to liberate themselves from oppression and domination, must be treasured and preserved, not as a means of freezing thought and conception in some new mold but as a basis for understanding of the social reality and committed work to change it. There is no reason to suppose that history is at an end, that the current structures of authority and domination are graven in stone. It would also be a great error to underestimate the power of social forces that will fight to maintain power and privilege.'
