Henry Giroux Quotes About Totalitarianism

• Remember what Hannah Arendt said when she was talking about fascism and totalitarianism. She said thoughtlessness is the essence of totalitarianism. So all of a sudden emotion becomes more important than reason. Ignorance becomes more important than justice. Injustice is looked over as simply something that happens on television. The spectacle of violence takes over everything.

• La diferencia entre el neoliberalismo y el fascismo o el nazismo u otras formas de totalitarismo es que se toma en serio las cuestiones ideológicas. Se toma en serio la esfera educativa, y le dice a la gente que no hay alternativa; que la libertad de mercado es realmente la libertad en general; que un tipo rabioso de individualismo es todo lo que importa; que como solía decir Ayn Rand, "el interés propio es la virtud suprema" - y la gente cree estas cosas. Porque no tienen otro discurso.

• The Left doesn't realize that unless you create a formative culture and a critical consciousness capable of changing the way people think about the common sense assumptions that drive their lives, then you've got an ideological foundation for totalitarianism that not only destroys the capacity to think critically, it destroys the capacity to have convictions at all.
