The description of Spanish anarchism is not wrong, if slanted. The Commie cheerleading is hilarious or would be if it weren't just sad that this kind of thing is exactly what Stalinist intellectuals were forced to do all the time to rationalize their political choices.

I see one error (or what I think is an error) in the Chomsky paragraph, regarding the Anarchists' joining the central government and his taking Montseny's rationalization of the decision at face value. IIRC being forced to join the government was basically step one in reining the Anarchists in.
