More quotes by Naomi Klein
Free speech is meaningless if the commercial cacophony has risen to the point where no one can hear you.
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
I think there is a danger that an environmental crisis can be used in precisely the same way as the terrorist threat can be used in terms of giving up freedom.
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
Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.
Naomi Klein
The powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on that most rarefied delicacy: impunity.
Naomi Klein
Hope has never trickled down, it has always sprung up.
Naomi Klein
Why would we build as unequal a renewable energy sector as we have built a fossil fuel sector? The nice thing about renewables is they're everywhere, so you don't have to have monopoly control in the same way.
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
The creation of today's market society was not the result of a sequence of spontaneous events but rather of state interference and violence.
Naomi Klein
Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn't filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear.
Naomi Klein
Those looking for ideology in the White House should consider this: For the men who rule our world, rules are for other people.
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
The task is clear: to create a culture of caretaking in which no one and nowhere is thrown away, in which the inherent value of people and all life is foundational.
Naomi Klein
The anti-war movement should turn itself into a pro-democracy movement
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
It has no denim-toned house paint. Levi makes what is essentially a commodity: blue jeans. Its ads may evoke rugged outdoorsmanship, but Levi hasn't promoted any particular life style to sell other products.
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
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
The parties with the most gain never show up on the battlefield.
