"In short, this 'pedagogy' is indoctrination of children into radical Marxism." Is there something else you are trying to say, or are you indoctrinating children with radical indifference? If you have something to say, say it--don't dance around your intentions.

This material is excellent for promoting critical thought, and only people who desire control and power in an oppressive manner will attack this work, which is odd because Freire is all about freedom, unlike so called free markets.

It's a GREAT book! It's a transformative book.

@yukiomishima246 You are in pretty serious denial. Go consume some more FOX tripe, and stuff your brain full of hatefilled cheetopuffs. uck.

For those of you who disagree with Freirean ideologies...

Step One: Actually read the book that you are bashing.

Step Two: Read it again.

Step Three: Take the time to come to your own "explicit awareness"

Step Four: Im sure at this point you will come to find your own level of oppression in your communities and find the parts of Paulo you actually like instead of picking up stones to throw at an amazing man with reformation ideas that even draw out the patriot in you.

@yukiomishima246 . I think it's interesting that the usual way to discredit ways of thought that you might find disagreeable is to instantly bring up the names of mass murderers who took certain principles from this school of thought and used them to opposite ends. The discussion would be much more honest if it centred on the ideas and how they potentially liberate. Those that pull out extremes do so in fear of losing the comfort they have at the exprense of others.

God, you scumfuck right-wingers are the motherfucking scum of the motherfucking Earth.

The United States of America -- in its quest to "prove" the superiority of capitlism -- invaded and murdered 3-4 million Southeast Asians during the Vietnam conflict.

When do you fucks come to an end? Wheeeeen?

Scum of the motherfucking Earth is what you fucking are. We will kiil you all. All of you. We will kill you fucking dead. Every last one of you motherfucking pig fuck scum.

@yukiomishima246 Apparently, you believe whatever your corporate masters tell you. In particular, you believe that all Marxists support the corrupt, state capitalist dictatorships of the USSR, China, N. Korea & N. Vietnam parading under the "communist" banner. You probably also think that there is a clearly defined thing called "capitalism" & that it doesn't contain many different types of political economy within its ranks. Similarly, you think "socialism" doesn't have many different schools.

No, Freire is a Marxist who wants world-wide revolution. He is a poison that is used in education by Left-wingers (communists) to foment class and race hatred and dissent. The Leftists will not give up the "dream" that led to murders and horrors by Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. These people think that they can get it right the "next time." Apparently, you believe this filthy rot.

Actually, because of CAPITALISM, there are fewer people in poverty than ever. Longevity has increased, as well as the reduction in infant deaths and increase in the level of income and education worldwide. Freire and his kind of people bring misery, hatred, war and poverty. The market brings freedom and prosperity.

Sorry.

@yukiomishima246 The history of markets overall the world has exhibited cruel from of usury and enslavement. I agree with a previous comment that you are so off.
