More quotes by Noam Chomsky
US wars are going to be against much weaker enemies. And they have to be won quickly and decisively before a popular reaction develops.
Noam Chomsky
What is called 'capitalism'is basically a system of corporate mercantilism, with huge and largely unaccountable private tyrannies exercising vast control over the economy, political systems, and social and cultural life, operating in close cooperation with powerful states that intervene massively in the domestic economy and international society.
Noam Chomsky
The entire socioeconomic system is based on production for profit and a growth imperative that cannot be sustained.
Noam Chomsky
People don't have knowledge and understanding about the outside world, or about history [in the USA].
Noam Chomsky
I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq that's almost inconceivable.
Noam Chomsky
I have not suggested that the emergence of language is instantaneous. Rather, that the rewiring of the brain enabling an infinite array of structured expressions was in effect instantaneous. I have never heard of an alternative to this suggestion.
Noam Chomsky
There's a good reason why nobody studies history, it just teaches you too much.
Noam Chomsky
States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.
Noam Chomsky
The good news from the U.S. military survey of focus groups is that Iraqis do accept the Nuremberg principles. They understand that sectarian violence and the other postwar horrors are contained within the supreme international crime committed by the invaders.
Noam Chomsky
It [the internet] probably has the effect of weakening personal associations.
Noam Chomsky
If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.
Noam Chomsky
Palestinians have no wealth or power.
Noam Chomsky
What's called Obamacare is an effort to mildly change this [health-care system], not change it as far as it should go or as much as the population wants it to go, but to make it a little better and a little more affordable.
Noam Chomsky
My position is that we should not succumb to irrational belief.
Noam Chomsky
You win by struggle, and that requires understanding and serious analysis of the options and the circumstances, and then you can do a lot.
Noam Chomsky
Remember that in any major nuclear war, the first strike destroys the country that attacks it's been known for years. The first strike of a major power is very likely to cause what's called nuclear winter, leads to global famine for years and everything's basically gone. Some survivors straggling around. Could [Donald Trump] do it? Who knows.
Noam Chomsky
A big producer can survive price fluctuations on the world market. A small farmer can't.
Noam Chomsky
Anti-Americanism is a pure totalitarian concept. The very notion is idiotic.
Noam Chomsky
We're now in a situation in which Capital is highly mobile and Labour is basically immobile.
Noam Chomsky
When people say do you believe in God? what do they mean by it? Do I believe in some spiritual force in the world? In a way, yes. People have thoughts, emotions. If you want to call that a spiritual force, okay. But unless there's some clarification of what we're supposed to believe in or disbelieve in, I can't answer.
Noam Chomsky
