From the Archives // Noam Chomsky
"Anarchism is... a tendency in human thought which seeks to identify structures of hierarchy, domination, and authority, and to challenge them..."
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion..."
"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future."
