I known I will be preaching to the choir, but I want to know from experience if anyone has figured out why anarcho-communists like Chomsky, and those like him, always create a caricature and straw men of free-markets and say that the kinds of free-markets, that say a Rothbard would envision, are an abstraction and that such a view of markets has never existed nor could ever exist and then in the same breath define socialism in such a way that it is as abstract and unrealistic as his caricature of Rothbardian markets are? It seems that Chomsky denies almost every historical example of communism as being statist, then where does your utopia emerge?
Also why does Chomsky and his kind believe that anarcho-communism could ever survive against statist threats since it never has in the past? The anarchists in Russia and Spain were swiftly crushed by their statist communist rivals. In fact nearly every so called anarcho-communist society has been crushed by stateists. Such as scheme cannot even survive long enough to be implemented. History shows us that anarcho-communist societies always, or nearly always succumb to conquest by their statist relations.
Lastly Chomsky's “revulsion” against violence and exploitation usually expressed in his hypocritical attacks of free-market strawmen fails to see the real oppression and violence of Nestor Makhno and the Spanish anarchists. For example Makhno was just a murdering thug who killed any group in his way Bolsheviks, Whites, Greens and most poignantly the Mennonites. The Mennonite example is really telling since Makhno aggressed against a society of people totally commuted to non-violence like Tolstoy's communes. The rapacious Makhno killed them when the could not have furnished him any cause, unlike the Reds, Whites and Greens who at least fought back. The Spanish anarchists also murdered catholics and monarchists with the same abandon. The only real difference between anarcho-communists and Stalnist-Leninists is that the former is to decentralized to murder as many as the latter.
If Chomsky supports this kind of violence and oppression then his objections to capitalism on the same grounds fail.
Same reason North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. Same reason Roosevelt called the Soviet Union democratic. Communist nomenclature defines democracy and freedom as communism. Just put a copy of Das Kapital on your bedside table and mass murder becomes social justice, the will of the people, etc. Oh, yeah. It's also very profitable. Chomsky makes like $50,000 per seminar.
