Noam Chomsky is fascinating to read if you're a 14 year old anarcho socialist like I was. His self-contradictory and confused opinions about the future highlight the fact that he's basically an ancient malcontent who's eked out his living trying to form an unsuccessful apparatus to do exactly what he claims to despise, i.e. lay out thought patterns for a group of followers who in his case never seem to materialize any power or wealth. (The secret is, they all consider him irrelevant after they get out of high school).
