Noam Chomsky

There have been few political figures that have changed my perspective towards the way I view the world. People like Che Guevara, Gandhi, Naomi Klein, Obama, The Kennedy Family, and Noam Chomsky. I was introduced to the teachings of this enlighten thinker in the summer of 2008, while doing research on Che Guevara there was a name that came coming up, Noam Chomsky, I later when to understand why He was being mentioned in my readings. Noam Chomsky has been known as an notable figure in contemporary Philosophy.
Noam Chomsky view on the American point of way has always been a controversy to American politicians, starting with his view towards the Vietnam war he states

"Let me finally return to Dwight Macdonald and the responsibility of intellectuals. Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. "Why should they? What have I done?" he asked. Macdonald concludes: "Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster." The question, "What have I done?" is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities in Vietnam—as we create, or mouth, or tolerate the deceptions that will be used to justify the next defense of freedom."

– Chomsky, The Responsibility of Intellectuals 1967

There are few political figures that have the power to move masses, they are few that allow the human brain to function in a different pattern. Few will die for their beliefs. The world needs more enlighten people such as Chomsky, It is in our best interest for our future to learn and apply what these great thinkers have shown us. Because if it were not them, where would we be today?

Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it.
