"The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears
nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He
doesn't seem to know that the cost of living, the price
of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on
political decisions. He even prides himself on his
political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he
hates politics. He doesn't know, the imbecile, that from
his political non-participation comes the prostitute,
the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all,
corrupt officials."
