Naming the world is everyone’s right, not an elite privilege

Evidence

But while to say the true word—which is work, which is praxis—is to transform the world, saying that word is not the privilege of some few persons, but the right of everyone. Consequently, no one can say a true word alone—nor can she say it for another, in a prescriptive act which robs others of their words. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 260

Categorization

• QUESTION: Directly targets the vanguard problem: if no one can say the true word for another, what justifies the facilitator’s own pedagogy?
• XREF: Parallels the diamond-trade insight that intermediaries only serve when they do not rob others of agency — same structural caution.
