“Reflections, analysis and proposals for libertarian pedagogy today”

The libertarian movement from the beginning emphasized the importance of education as a means of human emancipation. With just changing a person, his/her way of thinking and feeling, one could change this society; with just teaching values such as mutual aid, solidarity, cooperation, comradeship, one could overcome social dogmas like sick competition, hierarchization or selfishness. With the passage of time, due to the indefatigable work which a lot of libertarians did, these libertarian values were gradually included in different educational systems worldwide.

ISN'T IT A LITTLE ODD THAT WE AS AMERICANS CAN DEMAND JUSTICE AND FAIR TRIALS WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY , ( AMERICAN JOURNALIST ROXANA SABERI RECENTLY GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL IN IRAN ) , AND AT THE SAME TIME WHEN IT COMES FOR US AS THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD TO OFFER NEW AND FAIR TRIALS FOR OUR OWN POSSIBLE INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS IN GEORGIA & PENNSYLVANIA , WE CAN SOMEHOW ACCEPT THE EASIER ROUTE OF ALLOWING TWO POSSIBLE INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS TO BE FALSELY EXECUTED ?

We are a group of teachers and employees at Quebec colleges and universities who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and with the people of Gaza who have suffered through the Israeli siege as targets of Israel’s brutal military attack. It will take more than ceasefires to bring a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel. We are acting in response to an appeal for support issued January 2, 2009 by the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees. In the wake of the Israeli bombing of the Islamic University of Gaza, the Federation of Unions has urged academics around the world to support a boycott of Israeli academic institutions.

A few months ago, on June 18, 2008, in an article "Venezuela: Youth, Students, Education and Marxism", I reminded us that "youth itself, youthful anticipatory daydreams, (form) the concrete, utopian principle of hope (Ernst Bloch)!" In his work, "Marx als Denker der Revolution" (Marx as the Theoretician of Revolution), Bloch (widely seen as the father of the 1968 student movement in Europe and elsewhere) emphasized that "Youth
is driven by a dim presentiment of things to come," of something ahead, of the crimson dawn on the red human horizon. It suspects already what it does not want, however, it does "not yet" know what is to be done, what is to be thought, how to venture beyond this capitalist, terrorist vale of tears.

A hypothesis first argued by Parmenides (540 - 470 B.C) of Elea (present day Italy), who as we know had a profound influence on Platonic idealist philosophy, and therewith on Christianity, has caused across the last millennia a cancerous intellectual and time barrier in the realm of real, creative emancipatory endeavors. Like in the case of the faked, anti-African-Arab racist 'discovery of America' by Christopher Columbus the following formal logical 'absolute truth' has become the cornerstone of progressive political domination, has turned out to be the greatest ideological and systemic hoax of all times: Nothing comes from nothing, in Latin form: ex nihilo nihil fit.

Ushering in the coming elections for governors and mayors on November 23, 2008, the narrow streets of the Andean university town, Mérida, have become hot, belligerent and sanguinary again. Is this the ominous prelude to a bloody hot summer? Last week, student and police blood have already marked the coming CIA death trail of emerging guarimbas, of violent paramilitary onslaughts against the democratic government of President Hugo Chávez Frías. These student riots, which tend to spread nationally, have already claimed their first victim: a PSUV Bolivarian student, Douglas Rojas Jiménez, shot brain dead on the streets of Mérida. To bury the assassinated student today big marches are planned. More disturbances are expected for this week.

Unfortunately our world in presently in the grasp of the insane bankers and corporations. For they never tell the truth and are on an insane mission of their own, and they need to continually deceive us so that they will not have to look at themselves and can continue on their delusional path.
