Great interview (1995) Read the full text for his interesting insights.
Noam Chomsky is widely known for his critique of U.S foreign policy, and for his work as a
linguist. Less well known is his ongoing support for libertarian socialist objectives. In a
special interview done for Red and Black Revolution, Chomsky gives his views on anarchism and
marxism, and the prospects for socialism now. The interview was conducted in May 1995 by Kevin
Doyle. What is called 'capitalism' is basically
a system of corporate mercantilism, with huge and largely unaccountable private tyrannies
exercising vast control over the economy, political systems, and social and cultural life,
operating in close co-operation with powerful states that intervene massively in the domestic
economy and international society. That is dramatically true of the United States, contrary to
much illusion.
More than ever, libertarian socialist ideas are relevant, and the population is very much open to
them.
