Noam Chomsky Quote: “Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the Enlightenment.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The United States in many ways resembles a Third World country – far more elevated, but it has many of those structural characteristics: the extreme inequality of wealth, the deterioration of infrastructure because it only serves poor people, predatory operations, huge corruption, and so on.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Advertising is tax deductible, so we all pay for the privilege of being manipulated and controlled.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “It’s pretty ironic that the so-called ‘least advanced’ people are the ones taking the lead in trying to protect all of us, while the richest and most powerful among us are the ones who are trying to drive the society to destruction.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Popular struggles to bring about a freer and more just society have been resisted by violence and repression, and massive efforts to control opinion and attitudes. Over time, however, they have met with considerable success, even though there is a long way to go, and there is often regression.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The public is not to see where power lies, how it shapes policy, and for what ends. Rather, people are to hate and fear one another.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s a really easy way: stop participating in it.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The beauty of our system is that it isolates everybody. Each person is sitting alone in front of the tube, you know. It’s very hard to have ideas or thoughts under those circumstances. You can’t fight the world alone.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “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 Quote: “The press is owned by wealthy men who only want certain things to reach the public.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “As a tactic, violence is absurd. No one can compete with the Government in violence, and the resort to violence, which will surely fail, will simply frighten and alienate some who can be reached, and will further encourage the ideologists and administrators of forceful repression.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “War is a racket. The few profit, the many pay.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The truth of the matter is that about 99 percent of teaching is making the students feel interestedin the material. Then the other 1 percent has to do with your methods. And that’s not just true of languages. It’s true of every subject.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “We’re human beings; we’re not robots. And face-to-face contact is something totally different than typing a text message and then forgetting about it.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “It is only in folk tales, children’s stories, and the journals of intellectual opinion that power is used wisely and well to destroy evil. The real world teaches very different lessons, and it takes willful and dedicated ignorance to fail to perceive them.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “It may be beyond the limits of human intelligence to understand how human intelligence works.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The atrocities in Cambodia are a direct and understandable response to the violence of the imperial system.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Why not stakeholder action? There’s no economic principal that says that management should be responsive to shareholders, in fact you can read in texts of business economics that they could just as well have a system in which the management is responsible to stakeholders.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Hypocrites are those who apply to others the standards that they refuse to accept for themselves.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “You can’t have meaningful political democracy without functioning economic democracy.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “In ideal form of social control is an atomised collection of individuals focused on their own narrow concern, lacking the kinds of organisations in which they can gain information, develop and articulate their thoughts, and act constructively to achieve common ends.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The invasion of Iraq was simply a war crime. Straight-out war crime.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Anyone who studies declassified documents soon becomes aware that government secrecy is largely an effort to protect policy makers from scrutiny by citizens, not to protect the country from enemies.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The United States invaded Iraq to gain control of one of the major sources of the world’s energy.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “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 Quote: “I don’t have any oratory skills. But I would not use them if I had.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Free speech has been used by the Supreme Court to give immense power to the wealthiest members of our society.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “One might ask why tobacco is legal and marijuana not. A possible answer is suggested by the nature of the crop.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “It’s a near miracle that nuclear war has so far been avoided.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “People tend to rally around power.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “As any good teacher knows, the methods of instruction and the range of material covered are matters of small importance as compared with the success in arousing the natural curiosity of the students and stimulating their interest in exploring on their own.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Freedom without opportunity is a devil’s gift.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “A consistent anarchist must oppose private ownership of the means of production, and the wage-slavery which is a component of this system, as incompatible with the principle that labor must be freely undertaken and under the control of the producer.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “I didn’t pay my taxes for years.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Anti-Americanism is a pure totalitarian concept. The very notion is idiotic.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “It hardly takes more than a day in Gaza to begin to appreciate what it must be like to try to survive in the world’s largest open-air prison.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Capitalism’s concept of competitive man who seeks only to maximize wealth and power, who subjects himself to market relationships, to exploitation and external authority, is anti-human and intolerable in the deepest sense.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Historical amnesia is a dangerous phenomenon not only because it undermines moral and intellectual integrity but also because it lays the groundwork for crimes that still lie ahead.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “In the academic world, most of the work that is done is clerical. A lot of the work done by professors is routine.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “In the United States, the political system is a very marginal affair. There are two parties, so-called, but they’re really factions of the same party, the Business Party.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “For 500 years, since European explorers came, Latin American countries had been separated from one another. They had very limited relations. Integration is a prerequisite for independence.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “For a privileged minority, Western democracy provides the leisure, the facilities, and the training to seek the truth lying hidden behind the veil of distortion and misrepresentation, ideology and class interest, through which the events of current history are presented to us.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “In my own professional work I have touched on a variety of different fields. I’ve done work in mathematical linguistics, for example, without any professional credentials in mathematics; in this subject I am completely self-taught, and not very well taught.”
Noam Chomsky Quote: “Obama’s primary constituency was financial institutions. They were the core of the funding for his campaign. They expect to be paid back. And they were. They were paid back by coming out richer and more powerful than they were before the crisis that they created.”
