More quotes by Naomi Klein
The deeper message that is resonating with people is that it is possible to build. It is possible to invest in people it is possible to invest in green infrastructure it's possible to change.
Naomi Klein
The triumph of economic globalization has inspired a wave of techno-savvy investigative activists who are as globally minded as the corporations they track.
Naomi Klein
Hope has never trickled down, it has always sprung up.
Naomi Klein
Regardless of the overall state of the economy, there is now a large enough elite made up of new multi-millionaires and billionaires for Wall Street to see the group as superconsumers, able to carry consumer demand all on their own.
Naomi Klein
We can't leave everything to the free market. In fact, climate change is, I would argue, the greatest single free-market failure. This is what happens when you don't regulate corporations and you allow them to treat the atmosphere as an open sewer.
Naomi Klein
The parties with the most gain never show up on the battlefield.
Naomi Klein
Most of you didn't think that helping people share books would be a subversive act...Yet the fact is that you have chosen a profession that has become radical.
Naomi Klein
People without memory are putty.
Naomi Klein
If this really is true, then greed really isn't good, after all. It really isn't the way to maximize the best possible outcome. We really do need to come together and act collectively. Government isn't always the problem. It's sometimes the solution. And, so their whole intellectual scaffolding collapses. So, they'd rather deny the science.
Naomi Klein
Catching Trump out not paying his taxes, treating his employees like garbage - none of this sticks to him because that actually reinforces his power, power over other people, which is this specific kind of power that he's selling.
Naomi Klein
Communication is my thing.
Naomi Klein
My favorite sign here says, I care about you. In a culture that trains people to avoid each other's gaze, to say, Let them die, that is a deeply radical statement.
Naomi Klein
When it comes to paying contractors, the sky is the limit when it comes to financing the basic functions of the state, the coffers are empty.
Naomi Klein
Anybody who claims that they know where this whole thing is all going is just lying.
Naomi Klein
You actually cannot sell the idea of freedom, democracy, diversity, as if it were a brand attribute and not reality -- not at the same time as you're bombing people, you can't.
Naomi Klein
This same economic system, based on short-term growth and endless profits is also the reason for pretty much everything else that is lousy in our society, from private prisons to Fox News. What I'm arguing is that, in fact, what we've been told is a lie.
Naomi Klein
Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.
Naomi Klein
Live shows are where I can just go off, I do the most. I can recreate songs live and take one element and build on that that for like 40 minutes and I like seeing people's faces when I'm making something live.
Naomi Klein
I am convinced that climate change represents a historic opportunity on an even greater scale.
Naomi Klein
Free speech is meaningless if the commercial cacophony has risen to the point where no one can hear you.
