2. Noam Chomsky is a libertarian, and he wouldn't agree with that.

Libertarian socialist that is. Americans tend to think that all Libertarians are right-wing, but that is only because right-wing think tanks have effectively seized the term as their own. In reality though the word libertarian has nothing to do with economics or privatization of anything. If you support strong civil rights protections, gay rights, an end to the drug war, strong limits on government surveillance etc. then YOU are very likely a libertarian.
