I think you have a very narrow understanding of "anarchy" especially in the sense that Chomsky uses it. And OWS was never a "democratic" or "progressive" political movement. It was always a movement of all sorts of people who were pissed at the system, who are you to tell anyone that their beliefs aren't legitimate? It isn't a cute little center-left movement and it never was, it was a radical movement that wanted to stand the system on its head and shake it until its pockets were empty. Radical change takes radical ideas and it takes radicals coming together for change.
