Oh good a political science major, that means your profs have you well versed in Marxism 501, and you will be flipping hamburgers in 5 years.
We live in a democratic state that foundations rest on the rule of law going back to the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights. Human exploitation has been going on long before the advent of capitalism, so excuse me if I'm skeptical on wanting to trade the evils of capitalism off for the anarcho syndicalism Chomsky and Klein have advocate for.
