Democracy is very important, I think we both agree on this, but those on the libertarian left generally think so.
I have a question for you, what should we do when secretaries, shop clerks, driving professions, maids etc. lose their jobs? Those can be automated you know. |
Even Chomsky manages to fall off his own band wagon from time to time. I am personally a fan of his thinking, but he certainly did make some dumb statements in his time (
e.g. denial of the Srebrenica masacre during the war in Bosnia, blind opposition to the Kosovo intervention, etc.).
I guess after towing the same party line for so long, a person is bound to fail to see the forest because of the trees.
