The Irish were treated horribly, even here in Boston. For example, in the late nineteenth century they were treated pretty much like African Americans. You could find signs here in Boston in the restaurants saying No dogs and Irish.

More quotes by Noam Chomsky
The general principle is that the victors don't look at themselves or concede anything. The defeated typically have to, except when it's beneficial to the powerful for them not to.
Noam Chomsky
Governments are not representative.
Noam Chomsky
South America goes its own way dramatically in international affairs.
Noam Chomsky
[Health-care system] is largely privatized and unregulated. So of course it's highly inefficient and costly.
Noam Chomsky
The two countries [Pakistan and India] have already come close to nuclear confrontation twice and this could get worse. So dealing with the relationship with India is extremely important.
Noam Chomsky
The people I find most impressive are generally unknown at the time of their actions and forgotten in history.
Noam Chomsky
If we move toward the weaponisation of space, we can bid farewell to the planet. The chances of survival are very slight.
Noam Chomsky
Latin America was the most obedient follower of the neoliberal regime that was instituted by the United States, its allies and the international financial institutions. They followed it most rigorously. Almost everyone who's followed those rules, including the Western countries, have suffered. And in Latin America they suffered severely.
Noam Chomsky
We live in this world, not another one that we'd prefer, and sometimes it's necessary to follow painful paths if we hope to provide at least a little help for suffering people.
Noam Chomsky
The more there is a need to talk about the ideals of democracy, the less democratic the system usually is.
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
Parts of the United States are taking on a Third World look.
Noam Chomsky
I think this country and the world would be far better off if the US is not an outlaw state.
Noam Chomsky
Take a look at public opinion. About 70 percent of the population, in the polls, said the [Vietnam ] war was fundamentally wrong and immoral, not a mistake. And that attitude lasted as long as polls were taken in the early '80s.
Noam Chomsky
It [the internet] probably has the effect of weakening personal associations.
Noam Chomsky
It is true that classical libertarian thought is opposed to state intervention in social life, as a consequence of deeper assumptions about the human need for liberty, diversity, and free association.
Noam Chomsky
Fed and electoral college could use some tinkering, but they are not the source of the problems.
Noam Chomsky
Another problem is the confrontation with India. Pakistan just cannot survive if it continues to do so (continue this confrontation).
Noam Chomsky
Nothing is more inspiring to see how poor and suffering people, living under conditions incomparably worse than we endure, continue quietly and unpretentiously with courageous and committed struggle for justice and dignity.
Noam Chomsky
Real wages for male workers in the United States are about what they were in the '60s.
