The Future
“They talk about the people, but they do not trust them; and trusting the people is the indispensible
precondition for revolutionary change. A real humanist can be identified more by his trust in
the people, which engages him in their struggle, than by a thousand actions in their favor without
that trust.” (Paulo Freire, 1970)
