The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He doesn't hear, he doesn't speak, he doesn't participate in political events. He doesn't know that the cost of living, the price of beans, bread, flour, clothing, shoes, and medicine, all depend on political decisions. The political illiterate is so ignorant that he swells with pride, proclaiming his hatred of politics. He doesn't know that from his political ignorance are born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst of all bandits: the corrupt politician, a toady and lackey of national and multinational corporations.
***
El peor analfabeto es el analfabeto político. No oye, no habla, no participa de los acontecimientos políticos. No sabe que el costo de la vida, el precio de las alubias, del pan, de la harina, del vestido, del zapato y de los remedios, dependen de decisiones políticas. El analfabeto político es tan burro que se enorgullece y ensancha el pecho diciendo que odia la política. No sabe que de su ignorancia política nace la prostituta, el menor abandonado y el peor de todos los bandidos, que es el político corrupto, mequetrefe y lacayo de las empresas nacionales y multinacionales.
Bertolt Brecht
