Problem-posing education affirms men and women as beings in the process of becoming. - Paulo Freire

The oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors

A fact which is not denied but whose truths are rationalized loses its objective base. It ceases to be concrete and becomes a myth created in defense of the class of the perceiver.

Welfare programs as instruments of manipulation ultimately serve the end of conquest. They act as an anesthetic, distracting the oppressed from the true causes of their problems and from the concrete solutions of these problems.
