Pedagogy of the Oppressed, part 1 of 2

This video is a study of the effect of class on education. It is based on the work of Paulo Freire. Education is the second institution (bureaucracy) one encounters in life. Freire's work can help us free ourselves from the inauthenticity of class based education.

@baronmorris Authoritarianism is "right wing" - except when it's run by the "Leftist vanguard" (anyone else remember the term "dictatorship of the proletariat"?) Fascism is "right wing", except in the 1920s when Mussolini was a lauded leader of the Left (remember the song, "You're the Top?") And so on.

I wouldn't use the word delusions. More like deliberate deceit. Orwell called it Newspeak, but I'd just as soon call it Leftspeak myself.

You really do need to educate yourself.

@baronmorris By this logic, every socialist movement that ever existed was somehow "co-opted" by bad people.

I am right about this, not because I'm some sort of genius or have an encyclopedic knowledge of the period, but because it's blindingly obvious. There wasn't anything "free market" about Nazism, and everything that was collectivist. Nazism literally was a social engineering project, and domestic Nazi policies were very socialist.

Good luck to you too. Go read some good books.

@DrCruel

Just because Hitler called himself a Socialist doesn't make him one. It's called co-opting a movement. Like buying a tie-dye t-shirt at Wal-Mart. Take Hitler at his word, why don't you... He was so very honest and lucid. (since nuance is apparently lost on you, I will also tell you that was sarcasm)

If you are going to try to be so unilaterally authoritative (authoritarian boot-licking anyone?), try also being right. That is all. Good luck out there in the world and all.

Peace!

@bapyou Youa re most certainly aware, as I am, that Adolf Hitler excoriates both Marxism and capitalism in his book. He even claims that the "bourgoisie" are Marxists too. And of course Hitler is critical of democracy too.

If you look at the works of leading socialists, you will find that much of what lies within is nonsensical. In this sense, Mein Kampf and Das Kapital share much in common. And of course, both Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler were openly anti-Semitic.

[DrCruel]

@bapyou And Stalin and Trotsky loathed each other as well. Plenty of anarchists loathe both. That doesn't demonstrate that any of these people were anything other than Marxian Leftists.

Adolf Hitler copied many of his ideas from Marxism, and his movement (the NSDAP) started as a Marxist political faction. But you know these things, as I've told this all to you before. Thus "Marxian".

I also see that you're still substituting foul language for rational arguments. Some people never learn.

@DrCruel "[I] have what I think to be a good grasp of the Marxian ideologies of the 20th century . . . Bolshevism, Nazism and Maoism."

Dear asshole: Aside from being a snide snob, you are yet another conservative assfucker who has never read Mein Kampf. If you had, you'd know that your conservative buddy Adolph -- savior of German capitalism -- loathed at least two groups beyond all others: Communists/Marxists and Jews. So tell us how "Marxists" are the same as Fascists, you stupid fuck.

Great video. I really want to read Pedagogy Of The Oppressed, after hearing about it (in all places) on Fox News. Fox always mentions texts in negative ways, and that's how I know they are worth reading.

I always do my homework, and I'm prepared now as always, but I'm the sort to get out of the way for those who are deliberate on a destination. Whether it's over a cliff or not is their business. I'd just as soon let evolution take its course.

I'll look for the installment of "Radio Hogan" you suggest. I may even waste a bit of your and my time by leaving a comment or two. Cheers.
