He stated that the world, including the United States, has been “moving toward a more autocratic and absolutist structure.” According to Professor Chomsky, the concept of democracy has been narrowed and limited over the years.

He has also written numerous publications on linguistics, philosophy, foreign policy, government and politics. The Thistle is a bi-weekly newspaper published by students at MIT.
