\u00abIt is often believed, with criminal carelessness, that politicizing the masses means occasionally delivering a grand political speech to them. People think that it is enough for a leader or official to speak in a professorial tone about the major issues of the day to fulfill this imperative duty of politicizing the masses. But to politicize is to open the mind, to awaken the mind, to bring the mind into the world. It is, as C\u00e9saire put it, \u201cto invent souls.\u201d Politicizing the masses is not\u2014and cannot be\u2014simply delivering a political speech. It is striving with fierce determination to make the masses understand that everything depends on them, that if we stagnate, it is their fault, and that if we move forward, it is also their doing, that there is no demiurge, that there is no illustrious figure responsible for everything, but that the demiurge is the people and that the magical hands are, in the end, nothing but the hands of the people. To achieve these things, to truly embody them\u2014let us repeat\u2014we must decentralize to the extreme. The flow from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top must be a rigid principle, not out of a concern for formalism, but simply because adherence to this principle is the guarantee of salvation.\u00bb<\/p>\n
