I didn't doubt Chomsky's credentials as a researcher, I sometimes vouch/sometimes detract from him. Just got done reading 'Failed States'. He does cite his sources fairly well.  But when I was homeless in NYC with a full time job [and I'm a transsexual] he was probably drinking organic orange juice and eating pitas and hommus at some conference.

I am personally a party seeker and a party starter, true. But I don't see it as a downfall. I certainly don't see activism as joyless sacrifice though some people [not neccessarily anyone here] can make it as such. I love leisure and consequently hate the corporatized central planners that relegate life from a para dimensional strata to the atman coveting that all of us are forced to participate in and most of us are stupified. Years ago me and some friends of mine did manage to create a space for constructive and practical hedonism. It was to include all the elements of Social Anarchism, Proto-Libertarianism, Situ, Reich, as well as the cultural contributions of the Americans like Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, Karouac, Hoffman, Ginsberg. First is was a party and it evolved into something short of an informal co-operative sector around the fun and leisure, we began to throw psychedelic parties; something that became self sufficient. Just a means to get away from our obligatory physical expenditure quotient. It was organic. It was orgasmic. It was love. Deal with it.
 PS- You ever sleep in Van Cordlandt Park? Long Beach? Subways? Wake up in Bugs? Staph infections and denied Medicaid? Travel to take a shower from one city to another.. [F Train to 179th St. N6 to Hempstead N 70 to Eisenhower Park] Outside at all? Oh right you didn't say where you were from just not the States. SO I CANT LAUD YOU FOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM! AS FLAWED AS IT IS AT LEAST DOESN'T DENY YOU HEALTHCARE WHERE AN ABUSIVE CASE WORKER CALLS SECURITY TO DRAG YOU OUT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES WITH HYPODERMIC GLOVES AFTER MY PAY STUBS TOTALED MORE THEN $1,022 INCOME PER MONTH.  Don’t tell me I’m utopian when shelter is rendered a commodity a FT job that was contrary to every tangible ideal I ever had still couldn’t support, 260 million people in China do not live at an advanced industrialized standards. How would you know about 260 million middle class when the Chinese Gov't doesn't EVEN DO RURAL CENSUS SURVEYS and despite Xioping reform and Zemin urbanization scheme still leaves about 70% of 1.5 billion in destitute agricultural communities! 250 million has Floated in and out of urban areas in the last 10 years looking for work [most ending up with menial labor] and that still leaves several hundred million left that aren’t rich! As if the poverty is worth talking about life and class in the Cartesian manner you seem to be confounded in! I live a real life and I don't reminsce about anything. I'm living my life. I have relationships Sorry for thinking situations are universal and Lettrist art and Psychogeographic reform could be applied.

 PS the Fullbright program is a Govt sponsored program that sends American college students to foriegn countries to live with families of the latter country. And yes most of us are in debt up to our ass to finance university education [myself $121,565.06 USD balance] mislead from age 5 - 17 by public and private school to deliver us back into atomized labor that we were trying to escape.
