Text Quotes
Every time there has been an effort by the Haitian people to overcome the misery and poverty that comes from 200 years of bitter attacks, really bitter, the U.S. steps in and blocks it.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Some of the most moving experiences I’ve had are just in black churches in the South, during the Civil Rights Movement, where people were getting beaten, killed, really struggling for the most elementary rights.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Corporations are totalitarian institutions. Board of directors at the top of managers give orders, everyone follows orders..... At the very bottom of command, if you are lucky you can rent yourself to it and get a job , and if you are sufficiently propagandized you may even buy some of the junk they produce and so on...  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The old-fashioned idea is that responsibility falls upon those who borrow and lend. Money was not borrowed by campesinos, assembly plant workers, or slum-dwellers. The mass of the population gained little from borrowing, indeed often suffered grievously from its effects.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) It is a privilege to join the campaign to support Bradley Manning for his courage and integrity in serving his country by helping make the government accountable to its citizens, and to inform the world of what its people should know.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Bradley Manning has been imprisoned without charge, under torture, which is what solitary confinement is.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The [Ronald] Reagan administration told the business world that they were not going to enforce the labor laws.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The US is a business-run huckster society, and its primary value is deceit  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The US is to an unusual extent a business-run society, where short-term concerns of profit and market share displace rational planning.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) In a really business-run society like the United States, the business elites are deeply committed to class struggle and are engaged in it all the time. They’re instinctive Marxists.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The fact of the matter is that the U.S. is run by an unusually class-conscious, dedicated business class that has a very violent labor history, much worse than in Europe.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven - that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) A very large majority of the U.S. population is in favor of establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba and has been for a long time with some fluctuations. And even part of the business world is in favor of it, too. But the government won’t allow it.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) I do not think psychoanalysis has a scientific basis. If we can’t explain why a cockroach decides to turn left, how can we explain why a human being decides to do something?  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The U.S. has the most dysfunctional healthcare system in the industrial world, has about twice the per capita costs, and some of the worst outcomes. It’s also the only privatized system.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That’s not going to happen if you care only about yourself.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Perhaps the most striking assault on the foundations of traditional liberties is a little-known case brought to the Supreme Court by the Obama administration, Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The book [Manufacturing Consent] itself is then devoted to a series of case studies, selected, we hope [with Edward Herman], to offer a fair and in fact rather severe test of those conclusions.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Nicaragua was destabilizing Central America, meaning moving in a direction the US didn’t like. So Nicaragua was crushed.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The doctrine that everything is fine as long as the population is quiet, that applies in the Middle East, applies in Central America, it applies in the United States.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The Andes region is not stable. So we can expect to see more US intervention. It could be under any kind of pretext. We can no longer use the Russians as an excuse, as we did in Central America in the 1980’s, so drugs will have to do.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) From the 1970s, there has been a significant change in the U.S. economy, as planners, private and state, shifted it toward financialization and the offshoring of production, driven in part by the declining rate of profit in domestic manufacturing.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Changes and progress very rarely are gifts from above. They come out of struggles from below.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) In the universities, cheap, vulnerable labor means adjuncts and graduate students  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) In 1961, the United States began chemical warfare in Vietnam, South Vietnam, chemical warfare to destroy crops and livestock. That went on for seven years. The level of poison - they used the most extreme carcinogen known: dioxin. And this went on for years.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) After the ignominious collapse of the Copenhagen global climate change summit in 2009, Bolivia organised a People’s Summit with 35,000 participants from 140 countries - not just representatives of governments, but also civil society and activists.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) Whatever the reasons may be, I was very much affected by events of the 1930s - the Spanish Civil War, for example, though I was barely literate.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) To say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn’t do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) The two countries [Pakistan and India] have already come close to nuclear confrontation twice and this could get worse. So dealing with the relationship with India is extremely important.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes) It’s a good idea to revitalize community colleges, to cut back, to modify the student loan program so it doesn’t go through banks.  (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
