Botnst-

I think Chomsky's quote is flawed, yes, but I still like it in the way that it applies to the US, and worryingly more and more to the UK, in respect especially to media manipulation and the fact that more control over the population is cleverly hidden in making people believe it's for their own good.

In a dictatorship for instance, the population is controlled through fear and military action etc, therefore some might say less 'cleverly' (in western eyes anyway).

I agree with you on the point that a totally 'free' society would be anarchy though.
