Sidenote for anybody else who watched this. I worked for four years in a warehouse counting nuts and bolts. It meant being, essentially, outside in weather ranging from 10 degrees to over a hundred. It wasn't particularly pleasant, but I found a some satisfaction in doing the work, so long as I wasn't accosted or controlled by anybody else. I only ever quit the job because of conflict with authority. Chomsky makes a good point.
I think his attitude of being more enthusiastic about partaking in hard work that he's not ordered to do by any higher authority is one that a lot of people would be sympathetic towards.
@The Nihilism Dance Machine Kropotkin proclaimed: ''In working to put an end to the division between master and slave we work for the happiness of both, for the happiness of humanity.'' Its the obsessive madness for control, and coupled with need for humiliation, which causes a rebel to revolt against work. Work itself, free of the whip, is one of the glories of a Civilization.
Same here. I have never in my life quite a job because of the job. It was always those who felt they need to have power over me. People dont quit jobs they quit people.
Wow! What a great clear-cut interview. Very interesting observation on the way we enjoy any work as long as we perceive it as being meaningful. I like how prof. Chomsky maintains his track of thought.

Call it what you want, purging privileged inept management from the affairs of society is what has to happen to achieve freedom. In the meantime we'll be suffering the whims of the small minded to whom life is only a spectacle constantly seeking to "normalize" human behavior.
There is a copy with much better audio on the internet archive, I will reply again with a link, but in case it gets caught in the spam filter, the title is "Noam Chomsky - 1976-05-11 - Anarchism - BBC Interview" on the the archive so you can google for that
