Libertarian action must recognize this dependence as a weak point and must attempt through reflection and action to transform it into independence. however, not even the best-intentioned leadership can bestow independence as a gift. the liberation of the oppressed is a liberation of women and men, not things. accordingly, while no one liberates himself by his own efforts alone, neither is he liberated by others. liberation, a human phenomenon, cannot be achieved by semihumans. any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.

People Treats Pedagogy Of The Oppressed
The object of a dialogical-liberterian action is not to 'dislodge' the oppressed from a mythological reality in order to 'bind' them to another reality. on the contrary, the object of dialogical action is to make it possible for the oppressed, by perceiving their adhesion, to opt to transform an unjust reality."

The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. that unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.

An unauthentic word, one which is unable to transform reality, results when dichotomy is imposed upon its constitutive elements. when a word is deprived of its dimension of action, reflection automatically suffers as well; and the word is changed into idle chatter, into verbalism, into an alienated and alienating “blah.” it becomes an empty word, one which cannot denounce the world, for denunciation is impossible without a commitment to transform, and there is no transformation without action.
