More quotes by Noam Chomsky
When I wrote about the Spanish Civil War many years later, I used documents that I picked up when I was a child, as a lot hadn't been published (a lot more resources are available now).
Noam Chomsky
It's commonly assumed that the emergence of language was a key element of the great leap. We of course know very little about the sociopolitical conditions that existed at the time, but there's no scenario I can think of that suggests how a sudden change in these conditions could have led to the emergence of language.
Noam Chomsky
If [Respulicans] can't get rid of [Obamacare], they're going to have to tell their base, we've been lying to you for the last five years. So they're willing to go to almost any extent to do that. That's unusual, in fact I think it's unique in the history of modern parliamentary systems. And it's very dangerous for the country and for the world.
Noam Chomsky
Industrial production of meat makes a huge contribution to global warming.
Noam Chomsky
Quite generally, international affairs have more than a slight resemblance to the Mafia. The Godfather does not take it lightly when he is crossed, even by a small storekeeper.
Noam Chomsky
Education is not for profit. If you're not in education for profit, it's not going to be a fair critique for education.
Noam Chomsky
In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.
Noam Chomsky
Human needs are served by a sustainable lifestyle, almost by definition, if humans include coming generations. And a shift to such technologies as high-speed rail instead of maximizing fossil fuel use, and solar energy, is not relentless resource extraction.
Noam Chomsky
The police can go to downtown Harlem and pick up a kid with a joint in the streets. But they can't go into the elegant apartments and get a stockbroker who's sniffing cocaine.
Noam Chomsky
The term 'globalisation' is conventionally used to refer to the specific form of investor-rights integration designed by wealth and power, for their own interests.
Noam Chomsky
The UN to some extent diffuses U.S. power. Therefore it's less direct an agency of the United States than the U.S. Army is. But still, it can't escape the distribution of power in the world.
Noam Chomsky
That's a large part of the source of the gun culture. You have to have a gun when you go into Starbucks, because who knows what's going to happen. It just doesn't happen in other countries.
Noam Chomsky
[After Vietnam] the type of interventions that are carried out are designed so as not to elicit public reactions.
Noam Chomsky
It is not a war. It is murder.
Noam Chomsky
There's a very committed effort to convert the US into something resembling a Third World society, where a few people have enormous wealth and a lot of others have no security.
Noam Chomsky
What matters is what happens among the powerful.
Noam Chomsky
The invasion of Iraq was simply a war crime. Straight-out war crime.
Noam Chomsky
A bombing was planned [in Syria], which would probably make the situation worse, but would at least establish US credibility.
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
There is a big difference between tweeting to your friend about something that is happening and having a real personal relationship with people.
Noam Chomsky
