More quotes by Noam Chomsky
Popular support for alternative energy has been very high for years. But it harms corporate profits.
Noam Chomsky
In much of the world the U.S. is regarded as a leading terrorist state.
Noam Chomsky
How people themselves perceive what they are doing is not a question that interests me.
Noam Chomsky
In the 1960s, there was a point, 1968, '69, when there was a very strong antiwar movement against the war in Vietnam. But it's worth remembering that the war in Vietnam started - an outright war started in 1962.
Noam Chomsky
The Iraq War is the first war in history, in which there were huge demonstrations before the war was launched, not beginning five years later and then being broken up. All of these are changes, and the people who are writing in journals today lived through these changes.
Noam Chomsky
A good education instills in you the intuitive comprehension - it becomes unconscious and reflexive - that you just don't think certain things, things that are threatening to power interests.
Noam Chomsky
One measure for promoting both stability and fairness across financial market segments is a small sales tax on all financial transactions.
Noam Chomsky
The US does not observe the free-trade principles. Those are for the weak. So agribusiness is highly subsidized and pours product into Mexico and drives out Mexican farmers. Maybe they have to go into the cities, and they don't have jobs to support them, so they flee across the border.
Noam Chomsky
When I was a college student and I got interested in linguistics the concern among students was, this is a lot of fun, but after we have done a structural analysis of every language in the world what's left? It was assumed there were basically no puzzles.
Noam Chomsky
People tend to rally around power.
Noam Chomsky
The very design of neoliberal principles is a direct attack on democracy.
Noam Chomsky
The intellectual is an individual with a specific public role in society that cannot be reduced simply to . . a faceless professional.
Noam Chomsky
The U.S. is, to a very unusual extent, a business-run society.
Noam Chomsky
The Occupy movement did create spontaneously communities that taught people something: you can be in a supportive community of mutual aid and cooperation and develop your own health system and library and have open space for democratic discussion and participation. Communities like that are really important.
Noam Chomsky
The only way we can put a permanent end to terrorism is to stop participating in it.
Noam Chomsky
Arab public opinion does not regard Iran as a hostile entity. In fact it's so supportive of Iran that a majority would think the place would be better off if Iran had nuclear weapons. The main enemies are the United States and Isreal, in the 80, 90 percent range.
Noam Chomsky
There's actually an article in the Washington Post, I don't know whether it's tongue in cheek or not, which said the criterion for being on the list of banned states is that [Donald] Trump doesn't have business interests there.
Noam Chomsky
Plainly, children learn their language. I don't speak Swahili. And it cannot be that my language is 'an innate property of our brain.' Otherwise I would have been genetically programmed to speak (some variety of) English.
Noam Chomsky
The threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.
Noam Chomsky
I don't know what it means to say that 'the internet should have a voice in Washington'.
Noam Chomsky
