The road to revolution involves openness to the people, not imperviousness to them; it involves communion with the people, not mistrust. Pedagogia do oprimido (Pedagogy of the Oppressed) (1968)
In a dynamic, rather than static, view of revolution, there is no absolute 'before' or 'after,' with the taking of power as the dividing line. Pedagogia do oprimido (Pedagogy of the Oppressed) (1968)
Finally, cultural revolution develops the practice of permanent dialogue between leaders and people and consolidates the participation of the people in power. Pedagogia do oprimido (Pedagogy of the Oppressed) (1968)
