Paulo Freire

“With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as op­pressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation.”
