More quotes by Noam Chomsky
There's never been anything like the so-called Vietnam Syndrome: it's mostly a fabrication.
Noam Chomsky
A democracy barely functions under the neoliberal system.
Noam Chomsky
To some degree it matters who's in office, but it matters more how much pressure they're under from the public.
Noam Chomsky
Unfortunately, you can’t vote the rascals out, because you never voted them in, in the first place
Noam Chomsky
These are fashionable people who call themselves philosophers.
Noam Chomsky
If you sell me a car, we have perhaps made a good bargain for ourselves. But there are effects of this transaction on others, which we do not take into account. There is more pollution, the price of gas goes up, there is more congestion.
Noam Chomsky
My position is that we should not succumb to irrational belief.
Noam Chomsky
It makes sense for societies to make education compulsory for children. Children are vulnerable. They can't make decisions. But the decisions can't all be left in the hands of the parents. They can be irresponsible too.
Noam Chomsky
If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.
Noam Chomsky
Radical Islamist extremists surely hope that an attack on Iraq will kill many people and destroy much of the country, providing recruits for terrorist actions.
Noam Chomsky
If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That's not going to happen if you care only about yourself.
Noam Chomsky
I am opposed to the accumulation of executive power anywhere.
Noam Chomsky
The attack on unions has been far more extreme here [in U.S], and it has been much more successful.
Noam Chomsky
Should people be mere interested spectators of action, not participants, restricted to lending their weight periodically to one or another sector of the responsible men, as advocates of manufacture of consent have recommended? Or should their rights transcend these highly restricted bounds?
Noam Chomsky
The only debatable issue, it seems to me, is whether it is more ridiculous to turn to experts in social theory for general well-confirmed propositions, or to the specialists in the great religions and philosophical systems for insights into fundamental human values.
Noam Chomsky
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky
If you read people like say Bruce Blair one of the leading, most sober, knowledgeable specialists, he says, look, [Donald Trump] statements are all over the map, but his personality is frightening, he's a complete megalomaniac.
Noam Chomsky
The term 'globalisation' is conventionally used to refer to the specific form of investor-rights integration designed by wealth and power, for their own interests.
Noam Chomsky
Nothing can justify crimes such as those of September 11, but we can think of the United States as an innocent victim only if we adopt the convenient path of ignoring the record of its actions and those of its allies, which are, after all, hardly a secret.
Noam Chomsky
Julian Assange shouldn't be the subject of a grand jury hearing, he should be given a medal. He's contributing to democracy.
Noam Chomsky
