"Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I'm opposed to economic fascism. I think that until major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy."

Noam Chomsky was born on December 7, 1928, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is an internationally recognized scholar, author, and political activist, primarily known for his work in the field of linguistics, where he pioneered the theory of transformational grammar.
Chomsky has written and lectured extensively on politics, and his radical activism and critiques of U.S. policy have made him a controversial figure. His political ideas often center around his advocacy for freedom and equality, arguing for a society that maximizes common good. Noam Chomsky's contribution to the anarchist movement revolves around the notion of libertarian socialism, also called anarcho-syndicalism. This idea is most prominently seen in his work 'Anarchy,' where he stresses that workers should directly control their economic lives. He is still alive, continuing his work and analysis on topical issues.
