More quotes by Noam Chomsky
I just don't care about popular culture. It looks to me pointless and superficial. If I had free time I'd rather read a 19th century novel.
Noam Chomsky
Workers in different countries can easily be played off against each other.
Noam Chomsky
There is massive propaganda for everyone to consume. Consumption is good for profits and consumption is good for the political establishment.
Noam Chomsky
The first step is to penetrate the clouds of deceit and distortion and learn the truth about the world, then to organize and act to change it. That's never been impossible and never been easy.
Noam Chomsky
The desire for hope and change is easily understandable. In many ways it's even more dramatic in Europe.
Noam Chomsky
There's a good reason why nobody studies history, it just teaches you too much.

Noam Chomsky
When I was ten years old I wanted to be a taxidermist for some reason, don't ask me why.
Noam Chomsky
There are cases - for example, the American Revolution. George Washington's army lost just about every battle with the British, who had a much better army. The war was basically won by guerrilla forces that managed to undermine the British occupation.
Noam Chomsky
The UN can go as far as the U.S. will allow, and no further. And it's bound by conditions that the powerful states, which means mostly the U.S., impose.
Noam Chomsky
If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion.
Noam Chomsky
Anarcho-syndic alism took for granted that working people ought to control their own work, its conditions, the enterprises in which they work, along with communities, so they should be associated with one another in free associations, and democracy of that kind should be the foundational elements of a more general free society.
Noam Chomsky
We should therefore be opposed to institutional barriers to that freedom: Military dictatorships, for example. Or states run by a Central Committee.
Noam Chomsky
As international support for Obama's decision to attack Syria has collapsed, along with the credibility of government claims, the administration has fallen back on a standard pretext for war crimes when all else fails: the credibility of the threats of the self-designated policeman of the world.
Noam Chomsky
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Noam Chomsky
The whole basis for the US intervention in Colombia is outrageously racist and arrogant.
Noam Chomsky
People don't have knowledge and understanding about the outside world, or about history [in the USA].
Noam Chomsky
Trump's principal policies make clear what's going to happen. This gives an opportunity. Right now it's going to take hard work, but it's possible that there could be a real revival of the labor movement.
Noam Chomsky
In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.
Noam Chomsky
I think half the population supports this ban on these dangerous immigrants who are going to come in and do something, who knows what. And meanwhile the countries that really have been involved in terrorism, they're out. It's kind of like I think it was Oklahoma banning Sharia law.
