I'll let John do that, if he wants to.

If the leader of Microsoft wants to keep his structure.  Then that's okay,
but the problem for him is that he'll be the only member.

Not much of an organization.

Here it is.....

Tom Morello: "What sort of society do you envision as one that would not be
based on exploitation or domination and how would we get there from here?"

Noam Chomsky: "I don't really understand the question. It's kind of
interesting. I'm asked that question constantly in sort of privileged
circles. I'm never asked it when I go to talk to poor people. Or say either
here or abroad. They tell me what they're doing. Maybe they ask for a
comment, but they don't ask how they do it. How you do it is very
straightforward: you go out and do it. If you want a more free and
democratic society, you go out and do it. Take just our own, or at least my
own lifetime, maybe you're too young. Say the last 30-40 years there have
been big changes in the country. The civil rights movement, the antiwar
movement, the sharp critique and breakdown of illegitimate authority in all
sorts of domains which took place since the 60's, the environmental
movements, the feminist movement, the solidarity movements in the 80's --
all of these things changed the society a lot. Well how did they do it? Well
they just did it. People get together, they organize, they pressure, they
try to learn, they try to help others to learn. That's the way things
change. That's why we don't live under feudalism and slavery. That's why we
have by comparative standards a very free society in the United States, with
a lot of opportunities and options and very limited capacity on part of the
state for force control. Well that's been gained by struggle."
