[Dialogue] help with 2 memory questions

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Colleen, my mind went to the Sartre paper; it may be what you are thinking of, though some of these other answers may be better.

Paragraph 11: 
His (the revolutionary) cause is, thus, essentially, man's cause and his philosophy ought to express the truth about man. But, you will say, if his philosophy is universal, or true for all men, isn't it, as a matter of fact, beyond parties and classes? Don't we revert to rootless, a-political, and a-social idealism? My reply is as follows: the meaning of this philosophy is open, at first, to revolutionaries only, that is to men in the situation of oppressed persons, and it has need of them in order to become manifest to the world. But it is true that  this ought to be the philosophy of all men, in so far as the bourgeois oppressor is the victim of his own oppression. For in order to maintain his authority over the oppressed classes, he is obliged to pay with his own person and to become entangled in the maze of rights and values of his own invention.

Doris Hahn

Hi,

I am trying to remember where the New Testament verses are that go something like:
I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed me.

The other question has to to do with the oppressed and the oppressors.  Part of it has to do with as long as anyone is oppressed, I am oppressed.  I think it also talks about being the oppressor is anyone is oppressed.  I think it is part of a paper used in one of the OE courses.

Thanks for any and all help.
