About This Quote
"Speak against unconscious oppression" is a way of saying that really great leaders are the ones who create the greatest good for all people. They speak against the oppression of other people, for other people, and for things which benefit all people. We live in a world where unconscious oppression rules us, and many of us become enslaved by this kind of oppression. The great thing about conscious leaders is that they know how to use the best tools to resist oppression, while still keeping their grip firm on what’s best for others.
