More quotes by Noam Chomsky
It doesn't matter what we cover, it matters what you discover.
Noam Chomsky
The ideal is to create a completely fragmented atomized society where everybody is totally alone, doing nothing but trying to pursue created wants, and the wants are created.
Noam Chomsky
I mean, what's the elections? You know, two guys, same background, wealth, political influence, went to the same elite university, joined the same secret society where you're trained to be a ruler - they both can run because they're financed by the same corporate institutions.
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
My position is that we should not succumb to irrational belief.
Noam Chomsky
Occupying armies have responsibilities, not rights. Their primary responsibility is to withdraw as quickly and expeditiously as possible, in a manner determined by the occupied population.
Noam Chomsky
Where are the drug cartels getting their weapons? They are being provided by the United States. Cut off that flow of arms.
Noam Chomsky
People who spend their working hours in a lab or research library or a classroom might be intent primarily on keeping or advancing their elite positions, thereby lending tacit support to power structures. Or they might not be.
Noam Chomsky
I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom.
Noam Chomsky
Up until the First World War, when people turned anti-German, Germany had been described by American political scientists as the model of democracy.
Noam Chomsky
Marx's early manuscripts, with their roots in the Enlightenment and Romanticism, derived fundamental concepts such as alienation from a conception of human nature - what we would call genetically determined.
Noam Chomsky
By most accounts, Aristide is the most popular figure in Haiti.
Noam Chomsky
Pakistan just cannot survive if it continues to do so (continue this confrontation with India).
Noam Chomsky
Iran is independent and independence is not tolerated.
Noam Chomsky
Anything that you are achieving that undermines and threatens systems of power will meet with oppression. Systems of power don't say 'thank you.' What's important is not to focus all your efforts on the oppression, but to continue the constructive work.
Noam Chomsky
Governments don't control people like they used to.
Noam Chomsky
People are capable of seeing the deceit they're ensnared in. They just have to make the effort.
Noam Chomsky
I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system.
Noam Chomsky
Some international law specialists compare the invasion of Iraq to the 'crimes against the peace' for which Nazi leaders were indicted at Nuremberg.
Noam Chomsky
Washington still refuses to provide evidence to support the claims in 1990 that a huge Iraqi military build-up on the Saudi border justified war.
