More quotes by Noam Chomsky
Today, aid to Colombia is given under the pretext of a drug war. That's pretty hard to take seriously. Ten years ago, Amnesty International flatly called it a myth.
Noam Chomsky
There is always room for Gramsci's optimism of the will.
Noam Chomsky
There have been repeated cases when nuclear war came ominously close, often a result of malfunctioning of early-warning systems and other accidents, sometimes [as a result of] highly adventurist acts of political leaders.
Noam Chomsky
If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.
Noam Chomsky
A woman was the property of her father or her husband and that remained true right into the twentieth century. It wasn't until 1975 that women had a guaranteed right to serve on federal juries.
Noam Chomsky
They [unions] used straight Marxist rhetoric [in 1930s] - just the values were changed.
Noam Chomsky
The US health-care system is a complete scandal. It's got twice the costs of comparable countries and some of the worst outcomes.
Noam Chomsky
It's true that language is in a sense linear but that is as obvious as perceptual space is three-dimensional.
Noam Chomsky
Bear in mind that we [ with Edward Herman] did not devise the terms manufacture of consent and engineering of consent. We borrowed them from leading figures in the media, public relations industry, and academic scholarship.
Noam Chomsky
The whole basis for the US intervention in Colombia is outrageously racist and arrogant.
Noam Chomsky
Elements of the Christian fundamentalist right are one of the strongest components of support for Israel - support in an odd sense, because they presumably want to see it destroyed in a cosmic battle at Armageddon, after which all the proper souls will ascend to heaven - or so I understand, again, not from close reading.
Noam Chomsky
A language is not just words. It's a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It's all embodied in a language.
Noam Chomsky
During the 1990's, Colombia was the leading recipient of US military aid and training in the hemisphere. Approximately half of all US aid in the hemisphere went to Colombia. Colombia was also far and away the leading human rights violator in the hemisphere.
Noam Chomsky
If you are not offending people who ought to be offended, you're doing something wrong.
Noam Chomsky
Education is a system of imposed ignorance.
Noam Chomsky
[Companies that specialized in how to destroy unions] don't make it a secret, and they have all sorts of techniques for management to destroy unions.
Noam Chomsky
Some kind of settlement in Kashmir is crucial for both India and Pakistan. It's also tearing India apart with horrible atrocities in the region which is controlled by Indian armed forces. This is feeding right back into society even in the domain of elementary civil rights.
Noam Chomsky
Women didn't have rights. Under British common law, women were property.
Noam Chomsky
If you assume there is no hope, you guarantee there will be no hope.
Noam Chomsky
The basic principle, rarely violated, is that what conflicts with the requirements of power and privilege does not exist.
