Naomi Klein Quotes

What we have been living for three decades is frontier capitalism, with the frontier constantly shifting location from crisis to crisis, moving on as soon as the law catches up Picture Quote #1

Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity Picture Quote #1

So we are left with a stark choice: allow climate disruption to change everything about our world, or change pretty much everything about our economy to avoid that fate. But we need to be very clear: because of our decades of collective denial, no gradual, incremental options are now available to us Picture Quote #1

The powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on that most rarefied delicacy: impunity Picture Quote #1

If this really is true, then greed really isn’t good, after all. It really isn’t the way to maximize the best possible outcome. We really do need to come together and act collectively. Government isn’t always the problem. It’s sometimes the solution. And, so their whole intellectual scaffolding collapses. So, they’d rather deny the science Picture Quote #1

So the need for another economic model is urgent, and if the climate justice movement can show that responding to climate change is the best chance for a more just economic system Picture Quote #1

And that is what is behind the abrupt rise in climate change denial among hardcore conservatives: they have come to understand that as soon as they admit that climate change is real, they will lose the central ideological battle of our time-whether we need to plan and manage our societies to reflect our goals and values, or whether that task can be left to the magic of the market Picture Quote #1

And most of all, it means continually drawing connections among these seemingly disparate struggles-asserting, for instance, that the logic that would cut pensions, food stamps, and health care before increasing taxes on the rich is the same logic that would blast the bedrock of the earth to get the last vapors of gas and the last drops of oil before making the shift to renewable energy Picture Quote #1

In pragmatic terms, our challenge is less to save the earth from ourselves and more to save ourselves from an earth that, if pushed too far, has ample power to rock, burn, and shake us off completely Picture Quote #1

The creation of today’s market society was not the result of a sequence of spontaneous events but rather of state interference and violence Picture Quote #1

The truly powerful feed ideology to the masses like fast food while they dine on the most rarified delicacy of all: impunity Picture Quote #1

Ads and logos are our shared global culture and language, and people are insisting on the right to use that language, to reformulate it in the way that artists and writers always do with cultural material, Picture Quote #1

I think this has been a class war waged by the rich against the poor, and I think that they won. And I think the poor are fighting back Picture Quote #1
