Noam Chomsky
There is always room for Gramsci's optimism of the will.
Noam Chomsky
Industrial production of meat makes a huge contribution to global warming.
Noam Chomsky
Destruction of the environment is not only rational it's exactly what you're taught to do in college.
Noam Chomsky
If workers are more insecure, that's very 'healthy' for the society, because if workers are insecure, they won't ask for wages, they won't go on strike, they won't call for benefits they'll serve the masters gladly and passively. And that's optimal for corporations' economic health.
Noam Chomsky
It was during the Reagan years that defiance of international law and the U.N. Charter became entirely open.

Here, there were flat-out lies, and they sort of knew it. They were desperately trying to make connections between Saddam Hussein and 9/11.
Noam Chomsky
The dangers of unexamined and unregulated monopoly power, particularly in the state executive, are hardly news. The right reaction is not passive acquiescence.
Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky
Free speech has been used by the Supreme Court to give immense power to the wealthiest members of our society.

Noam Chomsky
The more there is a need to talk about the ideals of democracy, the less democratic the system usually is.
Noam Chomsky
Iceland is capitalist social democratic, rather like the Nordic countries generally. The capital had a mayor who is an anarchist, but the city has been nothing like that. In fact a few years ago it was super-neoliberal, which led to the crash.
Noam Chomsky
If the United States loses the economic weapons of control, it is very much weakened.
Noam Chomsky
The human digestive and visual systems did clearly evolve over a very long period.
Noam Chomsky
If we don't believe in free expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
Noam Chomsky
