Is that there on the bottom the noted genocide denier and conspiratorial edgelord Noam Chomsky. Please, Yanks, stop worshipping him. You have Bookchin.

That said, Anarchy is inevitable as embracing the theory of complexity inevitably leads towards the acceptance of anarchy (can we appreciate for a second that google scholar links to theanarchistlibrary.org)

Bookchin is dead though

Do you have any further reading about Noam Chomsky's genocide denial? I know him only as the anarchist raisin linguist

Kraut has an essay on it. He's a persona non grata in Europe. Of course, those are old takes, regarding more recent events he's saying things like "Russia is fighting more humanely in Ukraine than the US did in Iraq". I have absolutely no love left for US imperialism or its military but damn, they're not that bad. His world view is simple: US bad therefore non-US good.
