Classical Classism

The Poverty of Philosophy

Malalai Joya-" I do not fear death; I fear political silence in the face of injustice."

In the midst of a war economy where nothing is called by its right name Malalai Joya is a remarkable example of speaking truth to power. At 25 she was the youngest person elected to the Afghan parliament and was expelled for her honest criticism of its corrupt practices. I post this as reminder of the power of testimony over political opinion.
