Noam Chomsky on Anarchism

"Anarchism is a tendency in human development that seeks to identify structures of hierarchy and domination, authority, and others that constrain human development—and then it seeks to subject them to a very reasonable challenge: Justify yourself. Demonstrate that you're legitimate—maybe in some special circumstances or conceivably in principle. And if you can't meet that challenge—which is the usual case—the structure should be dismantled. And . . . not just dismantled but reconstructed from below." https://youtu.be/oB9rp_SAp2U

I wouldn’t really change this a lot to make it work for me. I think I’d say something like, “Ecclesial anarchism is a tendency among the faithful to mark structures of hierarchy and domination, authority, and others that would foreclose the future of the poor—and then seek to subject them to a very reasonable challenge: Demonstrate that you’re helpful—maybe in some special circumstances or conceivably in principle. And if you can’t meet that challenge—which is the usual case—the structure is to be undone and another way of proceeding worked out . . . one that does not descend from lofty abstractions, but always close to the ground.”
