The last Bad Faith was frustrating, I had to turn it off after a half hour.
It seemed pretty obvious that Chomsky doesn't actually think voting is that important. The important part is the activism and putting pressure on society and politicians outside of electoralism. Chomsky's point was that even if voting was just a drop in a bucket of piss, you should still not add more piss to the bucket. A third party vote maybe makes you feel some moral superiority but come on it doesn't do anything to stop Trump, and its much harder to push Trump to the left than Biden to the left. That's Chomsky's point. Regardless if the hosts or chapo.chat agree, they should have just moved on instead of running in circles.
Personally I don't care if anarchists are "bad" (I don't think they are, communism is a classes, stateless society). If someone wants to solve the climate crisis and end capitalism then they are an ally.
Ya, my biggest criticism of Anarchism is just that it's hyper individualist and I just think a worker's party would be a better way to use power to achieve something.
