More quotes by Noam Chomsky
My position is that we should not succumb to irrational belief.
Noam Chomsky
Bolivia is a striking example. The mostly white, Europeanized elite, which is a minority, happens to be sitting on most of the hydrocarbon reserves. For the first time Bolivia is becoming democratic. So it's therefore bitterly hated by the West, which despises democracy, because it's much too dangerous.
Noam Chomsky
If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion.
Noam Chomsky
Academics are mostly professionals, involved in their work and other concerns of their own, with no particular interest in the workings of the ideological system.
Noam Chomsky
Sectors of power are not going to favor the flourishing of dissidence.
Noam Chomsky
I don't know what it means to say that 'the internet should have a voice in Washington'.
Noam Chomsky
Every great power, every aggressive power has always regarded itself as exceptional and as doing things only for the most moral ends.
Noam Chomsky
I think the Christian Coalition could be extremely dangerous. We should always be concerned when any group wants to impose their doctrinal concerns on all. To an extent that's what they are trying to do.
Noam Chomsky
Governments are not representative.
Noam Chomsky
Ronald Reagan in the US was not a particularly popular president, but after his death sectors of wealth and power created a huge propaganda campaign that converted this disgraceful figure into a semi-divinity.
Noam Chomsky
How it is we have so much information, but know so little?
Noam Chomsky
Women didn't have rights. Under British common law, women were property.
Noam Chomsky
Haiti, which has been the main target of US intervention throughout the 20th century, is the poorest. And Guatemala, which is maybe the third major target of US intervention, probably ranks third poorest.
Noam Chomsky
Procurement is a major technique of state subsidy.
Noam Chomsky
There's a very striking fact about the elections which you can't miss if you looked at the red-and-blue electoral map the next day: it's the same political landscape that you saw during the Civil War - nothing much has changed except the party names.
Noam Chomsky
I happen to agree with the anti-dictatorship policies, but I don't think it's the role of General Electric to support them or oppose them. They do of course, but I don't agree with that.
Noam Chomsky
I didn't pay my taxes for years.
Noam Chomsky
One can neither agree nor disagree with a terminological proposal, as long as it is clear that it is just that: terminological.
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
The new crimes that the US and Israel were committing in Gaza as 2009 opened do not fit easily into any standard category—except for the category of familiarity.
