Decent vid. I need to find the one where an interviewer actually presses him on the specifics of what an anarchist society would look like.
Anyway, this one isn't just my favorite Chomsky video, but my favorite political video ever. One staggering hour of straight logic and facts, as per usual with him. Since it was done in 1970, Chomsky's young and his delivery is fast and crisp.
He breaks down four systems of government (1. classical liberalism, 2. libertarian socialism, 3. state capitalism, 4. state socialism) and his opinions of each, as well as his reasons why he thinks #2 is the best and most appropriate.
Just an avalanche of historical, philosophical, and political goodness.
(I especially love his breakdown of classical liberalism (starting at 1:45) and the how/why modern right-wingers claiming this philosophy is laughably off-mark)
