Chomsky wrote the introduction to Daniel Guérin's "Anarchism," and himself
seems to be a strong supporter of "libertarian socialism."

He writes, " The problem of "freeing man from the curse of economic
explotation and political and social enslavement" remains the problem of our
time. As long as this is so the doctirnes and the revolutionary practice of
libertatrian socialism will serve as an inspirartion and a guide."

From history he seems to admire anarcho-syndicalism, and  to support any
intellectual and "social" creativity the furthers the cause of liberation from
the explotation and enslavement. What form a revolutionary society would take
is clearly left up to an informed society that actively takes part in
creatively shaping the social/economic institutions they participate in
democratically.

His own personal life project seems to have been to expose lies and coverups
in order arm people with the knowledge they need to see what is happening in
world so they might come to reasonable decisions about how to proceed. He
seems to have done a remarkable job at this for one little guy. (Thanks Noam.)
The rest is up to all of us.

The model of a left-right spectrum doesn't seem to adequately represent the
reality we are dealing with. Placing people/or groups on a spectrum might seem
very neat, but it is better to take a look at their specific actions and judge
whether they further or inhibit the spread of liberty AND humanitarianism.

Logically you come to some form of confederated libretarian socialism if you
have those ideals. Libretarian-capitalism equals democracy for some, with the
threat of violence looming in the background to protect private control of
industries,...etc, that are obviously social projects.
