Words mean things, Oni. We don't live in the world of Humpty Dumpty where when he uses a word, "it means exactly what he chooses it to mean, no more, no less." We don't live in a world where Chomsky can radically re-define, or de-define, the word "conservative" and expect to merely escape all the connotations of that description just because he says he means something else.
Words mean things.
So you have appointed yourself the final arbiter of the English language like the French Academy is the final arbiter of the French language. Good luck sucker.
Chomsky has clearly defined his political belief system as syndico-anarchist libertarian, if you don't understand what that means, look it up. Maybe even in Wikipedia.
Unfortunately it appears your monstrous ego prevents you from even allowing people to define themselves. Indeed does this not represent the ultimate authoritarian position?
I have just started although I am a very busy person, my primary job being teaching junior college students the truth in a less than favorable atmosphere. However, if you insist on your self-declared perfection, I personally guarantee I will puncture your balloon.
Please feel free to tell both Chomsky and I (as an admirer) believe, and indeed who we are, you may be surprised.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
