Anarchy rules OK Chomsky tells Australia
04.11.2011 11:55
Professor Chomsky said if anarchy meant questioning authority and demanding the truth, then everyone should be anarchic.
"In that sense I think everyone should be an anarchist," he said, in response to heavy applause from the audience.
Anarchism should not be viewed in a negative light, Prof Chomsky said.

i wonder

i remain saddened by this and by the hero worship of him i witness amongst fellow activists. this man has admitted penetrating a sleeping woman without a condom in the full knowledge that this was against her explicit wishes (for condom use) and that a sleeping woman cannot consent.
he may argue about whether this constitutes rape, but for me that is irrelevant. what the law says about rape is not relevant to me regarding this matter, i take a feminist analysis and i call it rape.
usually rapes are not dealt with well by the legal system. the pursuit of assange probably is politically motivated. nonetheless he did rape this woman and has admitted so, albeit whilst refusing to call it rape and claiming to have broken no law.
further his statements about the women involved (there are other victims/survivors too of course), about feminism altogether, etc reveal some seriously fucked up attitudes.
he is not wikileaks. wikileaks consists of a whole lot of people, some of whom are also founders, all of whom have worked hard, none of whom have been called out for rape. one does not have to support assange to support wikileaks.
don't be a rape apologist.
