Noam Chomsky — "The United States is a country that is based on exploitation."

"The United States is a failed state. It's a failed state from many points of view, but it's a failed state in terms of its social policy."

"The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn’t betray it I’d be ashamed of myself."

"The primary task of the media is to make sure that the people don't find out what's really going on."

"There are very few people who are going to make it through life without having some kind of interaction with the criminal justice system."

"The U.S. is basically a one-party state, and the party is the business party."
