I agree entirely, but while we're about it I'd want to put my own cards on the
table. I heard the following from Chomsky long ago, and I've not seen any reason
in 40 years to disagree with it:
""I think that the libertarian socialist concepts - and by that I mean a range
of thinking
that extends from left-wing Marxism through anarchism - are fundamentally correct
and that they are the proper and natural extension of classical liberalism
into the era of advanced industrial society."
