Happy birthday, Paulo Freire! (September 19, 1921)
An acclaimed and influential Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire was born in the state of Pernambuco and grew up intimately aware of the effects of poverty on people's opportunities and educations. He went to law school but ended up pursuing a career in education. He worked to raise literacy - a prerequisite for political suffrage - among the rural poor, until the 1964 coup forced him to leave Brazil. While in exile, he published The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, his most influential work and an important piece of critical pedagogy. He returned to Brazil in 1980 and settled in Sao Paulo, joining the Workers Party and becoming municipal Secretary of Education. He died in 1997, leaving a strong and lasting educational and philosophical legacy behind.

The pursuit of full humanity, however, cannot be carried out in isolation or individualism, but only in fellowship and solidarity; therefore it cannot unfold in the antagonistic relations between oppressors and oppressed. No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so. Attempting to be more human, individualistically, leads to having more, egotistically, a form of dehumanization.
— Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Cuando la educación no es liberadora, el sueño de los oprimidos es ser opresor.

With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed [or colonized]. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence?

1429- El mundo no es, el mundo está siendo."

"Any situation in which "A" objectively exploits "B" or hinders his and her pursuit of self-affirmation as a responsible person is one of oppression. Such a situation in itself constitutes violence, even when sweetened by false generosity, because it interferes with the individual's ontological and historical vocation to be more fully human. 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 whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation."
Paolo Freire- Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

Kinda breaks my heart how looking up the Paulo Freire tag here (an important Brazilian educator and philosopher) I find many many posts in English or spanish, of people who study his work.
But it's quite rare to see a post in Brazilian Portuguese.

La autosuficiencia es incompatible con el diálogo. Los hombres que carecen de humildad, o aquellos que la pierden, no pueden aproximarse al pueblo. No pueden ser sus compañeros de pronunciación del mundo. Si alguien no es capaz de servirse y saberse tan hombre como los otros, significa que le falta mucho que caminar, para llegar al lugar de encuentro con ellos. En este lugar de encuentro, no hay ignorantes absolutos ni sabios absolutos: hay hombres que, en comunicación, buscan saber más.
—Paulo Freire; Pedagogía del oprimido

Self-depreciation is another characteristic of the oppressed, which derives from their internalization of the opinion the oppressors hold of them. So often do they hear that they are good for nothing, know nothing and are incapable of learning anything−that they are sick, lazy, and unproductive−that in the end they become convinced of their own unfitness.
— Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

1471- "El mito, por ejemplo, de que el orden opresor es un orden de libertad. De que todos son libres para trabajar donde quieran. Si no les agrada el patrón, pueden dejarlo y buscar otro empleo. El mito de que este “orden” respeta los derechos de la persona humana y que, por lo tanto, es digno de todo aprecio. El mito de que todos pueden llegar a ser empresarios siempre que no sean perezosos y, más aún, el mito de que el hombre que vende por las calles, gritando: “dulce de banana y guayaba” es un empresario tanto cuanto lo es el dueño de una gran fábrica. El mito del derecho de todos a la educación cuando, en Latinoamérica, existe un contraste irrisorio entre la totalidad de los alumnos que se matriculan en las escuelas primarias de cada país y aquellos que logran el acceso a las universidades. El mito de la igualdad de clases cuando el “¿sabe usted con quién está hablando?” es aún una pregunta de nuestros días. El mito del heroísmo de las clases opresoras, como guardianas del orden que encarna la “civilización occidental y cristiana”, a la cual defienden de la “barbarie materialista”. El mito de su caridad, de su generosidad, cuando lo que hacen, en cuanto clase, es un mero asistencialismo. El mito de que las elites dominadoras, “en el reconocimiento de sus deberes”, son las promotoras del pueblo, debiendo éste, en un gesto de gratitud, aceptar su palabra y conformarse con ella. El mito de que la rebelión del pueblo es un pecado en contra de Dios. El mito de la propiedad privada como fundamento del desarrollo de la persona humana, en tanto se considere como personas humanas sólo a los opresores. El mito de la dinamicidad de los opresores y el de la pereza y falta de honradez de los oprimidos... Todos estos mitos, y otros que el lector seguramente conoce y cuya introyección por parte de las masas oprimidas es un elemento básico para lograr su conquista, les son entregados a través de una propaganda bien organizada, o por lemas, cuyos vehículos son siempre denominados “medios de comunicación de masas”, entendiendo por comunicación el depósito de este contenido enajenante en ellas.
Paulo Freire
