More quotes by Noam Chomsky
Citizenship means every four years you put a mark somewhere and you go home and let other guys run the world. It's a very destructive ideology.
Noam Chomsky
Real wages for male workers in the United States are about what they were in the '60s.
Noam Chomsky
That's our nuclear weapons strategy [going to frighten people], as of the early post-Cold War years. And I think this is a real failure of the intellectual community, including scholarship and the media. It's not like you had headlines all over the place. And it's not secret, the documents are there. And I think that's probably the right picture.
Noam Chomsky
Any little issue - Miss Universe, or whatever it may be - [Donald Trump] is completely unpredictable, he'll go off into outer space.
Noam Chomsky
America has always been the richest and most secure, and sometimes the most dangerous country in the world. In the early years, the danger was to everybody near us, slaves, Native Americans, Mexicans. It finally expanded in 1898 to the Caribbean, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
Noam Chomsky
The Internet is an élite organization most of the population of the world has never even made a phone call.
Noam Chomsky
The dynamics of the Taliban now appear to be very different and complex, in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, as they attack governments and mainstream parties.
Noam Chomsky
It's a lesser-known story, but the Japanese government (after the Russian-Nazi pact, which split Poland) did allow Polish Jews to come to Japan, with the expectation that they would then be sent to the United States. But they weren't accepted, so they stayed in Japan.
Noam Chomsky
I have never suggested any principled difference between the natural and social sciences.
Noam Chomsky
Pakistan just cannot survive if it continues to do so (continue this confrontation with India).
Noam Chomsky
The market is regarded as democratic because everybody has a vote. Of course, some have more votes than others because your votes depend on the number of dollars you have, but everybody participates and therefore it's called democratic.
Noam Chomsky
My feeling is that if any Republican was elected it would be almost a death knell for the species literally, just because of their attitude on climate change.
Noam Chomsky
International affairs is very much run like the mafia. The godfather does not accept disobedience, even from a small storekeeper who doesn't pay his protection money. You have to have obedience otherwise the idea can spread that you don't have to listen to the orders and it can spread to important places.
Noam Chomsky
That's a point that Dan Ellsberg has made for years. He said it's kind of like if you and I go into a grocery store to rob it, and I have a gun. The guy may give you the money in the cash register. I'm using the gun even if I don't shoot. Well that's nuclear weapons - essential to post-war deterrence - they cast a shadow over everything.
Noam Chomsky
I do not feel that we should set up PEOPLE as models rather actions, thoughts, principles.
Noam Chomsky
If kids are studying for a test, they're not going to learn anything. We all know that from our own experience.
Noam Chomsky
The structure of language determines not only thought, but reality itself.
Noam Chomsky
How it is we have so much information, but know so little?
Noam Chomsky
The main selling appeal of NAFTA to US corporations is that it gives them an advantage in the North American market over their European and Japanese competitors.
Noam Chomsky
Human language is nothing like the signalling systems of other animals.
