Quote by Noam Chomsky

“There is no more reason now than there has ever been to believe that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws, not simply decisions made within institutions that are subject to human will — HUMAN institutions, that have to face the test of legitimacy, and if they do not meet it, can be replaced by others that are more free and more just, as often in the past.”

“In a selficated society, you feel free only when you are never free. You are being negotiated constantly to become your own master and slave at the same time, a project-maker and meaning-maker of one’s individuality with the exclusion of others except one’s own activities. It becomes a society habitually wanting itself for itself and by its own volition to stoop within the confines of self-interest.”
