It is exciting to have a chance to participate in this List
about Chomsky. Although I consider myself an "unhyphenated" anarchist,
I still find I have a lot of affinity for anarchosyndicalism. For a time I
was a member of the IWW in the early 1990s and still consider myself on
friendly terms with the wobblies.

        Chomsky's visibility is a challenge to statist hegemony and his
academic success is an inspiration to all radical intellectuals and
scientists. Anarchists, in particular, now have to question whether we REALLY
need to hide in the shadows. Perhaps ,we too, should show the same caliber of
courage as Chomsky.

        I am sure Chomsky would demure at the above statement. But there is
more than a grain of truth that hits home for me. I am curious about what
others may think.
