To claim otherwise is to legitimize -- and reinforce -- the violence committed in the name of The Truth. This claim justifies the violence done by the Stalinists in the name of Communism. This is the logic of those who claim that indigenous people need not be consulted because they are uneducated and ignorant. This is the logic that comes into play when labor unions are silenced. To claim -- and treat -- voters as ignorant by virtue of being “uneducated,” then, is to legitimize the logic that has led to social injustice throughout the ages.
