Read it again. He provided two different arguments: one with regards to principle, and the other on tactics. He said it was "Wrong in principle, and tactically self-destructive. " and then says "while attacking fundamental principles of freedom of speech."

Well, it doesn't help much without knowing what he's exactly referring to as freedom of speech. Is he including hate crime, or not?

Chomsky defines his ideas of the limits in his previous quote.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."

 

But the context of the larger quote is referring to antifa specifically, so whatever his views on the limitation of speech, he thinks antifa is disrespecting the "fundamental principles of freedom of speech." 

 

Chomsky's thoughts are clear and much more consistent with anarchism and libertarianism than antifa's.
