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.

Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.

Paulo Freire

And it is staring us in the face if we would only raise our heads to look at it.
