This Pedagogy Makes Oppression And Its Causes

With The Establishment Of A Relationship Of Oppression, Violence Has Already Begun. Never In History Has Violence Been Initiated By The Oppressed. How Could They Be The Initiators, If They Themselves Are The Result Of Violence? How Could They Be The Sponsors Of Something Objective Whose Objective Inauguration Called Forth Their Existence As Oppressed? There Would Be No Oppressed Had There Been No Prior Of Violence To Establish Their Subjugation.

The Multitude Is Always In The Wrong.

Any Situation In Which Some Men Prevent Others From Engaging In The Process Of Inquiry Is One Of Violence;… To Alienate Humans From Their Own Decision Making Is To Change Them Into Objects.

Some May Think That To Affirm Dialogue—the Encounter Of Women And Men In The World In Order To Transform The World—is Naively And Subjectively Idealistic. There Is Nothing, However, More Real Or Concrete Than People In The World And With The World, Than Humans With Other Humans.

The Former Oppressors Do Not Feel Liberated. On The Contrary, They Genuinely Consider Themselves To Be Oppressed.
