Gayatri Spivak: The Long and Short of Capitalism's Demise

The short-term work of strikes and sensational displays of worker power will not be enough to dislodge capitalism's grip on our lives, says Professor Gayatri Spivak of Columbia University. These short-term tactics must be paired with the longer-term efforts of education and organization. This educational work, Spivak insists in this video, is "not really the pedagogy of the oppressed, it is indeed the pedagogy of the liberated, because if you do not have training in the practice of freedom, when you win... it will not last."

As with the other upload, these aren't very good edits. It would have been better to just run the whole dialog. Spivak is not very good at soundbites, and her whole point might be that the soundbite is a big part of the problem.
