Chomsky on having a job (“living in a totalitarian system”)

What does Chomsky propose, (economically/socially) in the coming age of automation, is he into UBI?

I believe most people will be subjected as a "non-capital, "non-equity" class, consumers at the base. How will they consume? purchasing power of consumption?

Man the future looks interesting...definitely gearing up for major societal changes, this is uncharted territory with technology

IIRC, he's an anarcho-syndicalist, so the tl;dr version is that he thinks existing capitalist-model businesses should be replaced with worker-owned, worker-controlled co-ops.

Ah, the joys of categorizing people into boxes. The man is an Anarcho-Syndicalist, so ergo, we now can derive all he thinks from this assumption.
