Noam Chomsky Quotes

An individual’s refusal to carry out the criminal acts of his government sets the stage, in the most effective way possible, for the attempt to demonstrate the criminal nature of these acts Picture Quote #1

Like most technology, the internet has mixed effects. It’s a neutral instrument Picture Quote #1

Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‘election.’ Picture Quote #1

You ought to teach kids that elections take place but that’s not politics. If you want to know how legislation is made it doesn’t come from elections Picture Quote #1

The United States invaded Iraq to gain control of one of the major sources of the world’s energy Picture Quote #1

Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the Enlightenment Picture Quote #1

With the development of industrial capitalism, a new and unanticipated system of injustice, it is libertarian socialism that has preserved and extended the radical humanist message of the Enlightenment and the classical liberal ideals that were perverted into an ideology to sustain the emerging social order Picture Quote #1

Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way Picture Quote #1

There are all the activist groups on every imaginable topic - solidarity groups, environmental and feminist groups - sectors of these movements do very valuable work Picture Quote #1

There are two problems for our species’ survival - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe - and we’re hurtling towards them. Knowingly Picture Quote #1

Congressional Republicans are dismantling the limited environmental protections initiated by Richard Nixon, who would be something of a dangerous radical in today’s political scene Picture Quote #1

Anti-union propaganda has been considerably more successful here [ in the U.S.] than in Europe, even among working people who would benefit [from] unions Picture Quote #1

Nicaragua dealt with the problem of terrorism in exactly the right way. It followed international law and treaty obligations. It collected evidence, brought the evidence to the highest existing tribunal, the International Court of Justice, and received a verdict - which, of course, the U.S. dismissed with contempt Picture Quote #1

Human nature is not totally fixed, but on any realistic scale, evolutionary processes are much too slow to affect it Picture Quote #1

Anatomically modern humans are found up to 200,000 years ago; behaviourally modern humans appear very recently in evolutionary time, as far as evidence now exists, perhaps within a window of 50-100,000 years ago, a flick of an eye in evolutionary time Picture Quote #1

Roughly. These are tendencies, and they tend to distinguish roughly between hard and soft sciences Picture Quote #1

Markets are lethal, if only because of ignoring externalities, the impacts of their transactions on the environment Picture Quote #1

The Washington leadership has put aside non-proliferation programmes and devoted its energies and resources to driving the country to war by extraordinary deceit, then trying to manage the catastrophe it created in Iraq Picture Quote #1

In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress ‘suspects.’ Picture Quote #1

When I look at public opinion, I’m not far out of the mainstream. I’m in it, in many respects. In some respects, public opinion goes beyond anything I’ve ever said Picture Quote #1

My own feeling is that a corporation has no right to have a political or social influence Picture Quote #1

There’s an interesting book called The Fugu Plan, written by Marvin Tokayer and Mary Swartz, which describes the circumstances when European Jews came to Japan, a semi-feudal society Picture Quote #1

So yes in theory there is a kind of a formal democracy and in many ways these were achievements and an improvement over the feudal system and more advanced than anything else in the world, but nothing that we ought to call democracy Picture Quote #1

There are very few people who are going to look into the mirror and say, ‘That person I see is a savage monster;’ instead, they make up some construction that justifies what they do Picture Quote #1
