'Chomskyan in tone, the idea suggests that America isn't the innocent 1-dimensional young adolescent it paints itself to be, resulting in a reappraisal of what patriotism means - does it mean putting up with abhorrent lies blindly and thus being corrupt and false, or does it mean a love for the values of democracy?'

Noam Chomsky

Chomsky revolutionized the discipline of linguistics. His linguistics work argues that the acquisition of language is part of the naturual or innate structure of the human brain. An anarchist and libertarian socialist, Chomsky first came to prominence in the political realm opposing the U.S. invasion of South Vietnam. Outspoken against all abuses of power, Chomsky is a particularly astute critic of U.S. foreign policy. Chomsky's analysis of the media illustrates the compliant nature of the information industries to the ideological obejctives and imperatives of governments and corporate elites.
Judged in terms of the power, range, novelty and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive.
