"Of course it's extremely easy to say, "The heck with it. I'm just going to adapt myself to the structures of power and authority and do the best I can within them." Sure, you can do that. But that's not acting like a decent person."

Noam Chomsky was born on December 7, 1928, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is an internationally recognized scholar, author, and political activist, primarily known for his work in the field of linguistics, where he pioneered the theory of transformational grammar.
Chomsky has written and lectured extensively on politics, and his radical activism and critiques of U.S. policy have made him a controversial figure. His political ideas often center around his advocacy for freedom and equality, arguing for a society that maximizes common good. Noam Chomsky's contribution to the anarchist movement revolves around the notion of libertarian socialism, also called anarcho-syndicalism. This idea is most prominently seen in his work 'Anarchy,' where he stresses that workers should directly control their economic lives. He is still alive, continuing his work and analysis on topical issues.
