Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky
Anarchists try to identify power structures. They urge those exercising power to justify themselves. This justification does not succeed most of the time.

Noam Chomsky
Everything depends very much on who you are, what your values are, what your commitments are, what circumstances you live in and what options you're willing to undertake, and that determines what you ought to be doing.
Noam Chomsky
There certainly are those who worship the state much as divinities are worshipped. Not just the state but even leaders.
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
