a Freirean educational approach must adopt and communicate the underlying Marxist machinery, themes, purpose, and ideology in service of the Marxist goal of seizing the means of production of the society (thus man and the world) and transforming the world accordingly (humanizing it). Astute readers will recognize that Freire says this requires a gnosiological attitude, which is what Marxists often call their theory of knowledge. (Christians will again shudder as they realize this indicates that Marxism is ultimately a Gnostic heresy running within a diabolical man-as-gods software routine.)
