"Nothing can be independent from the mode of production, including literature which can easily be controlled by the ideology. In countries like ours, an independent ideology cannot form because of the effect of the global capital. Satin ideologies cannot be independent. You're either with the oppressors or against them.
"In metropolitan countries, they don't forbid thoughts. They censor them through indirect ways; with corporate media, with economy. It's much more different in the periphery. Censor is more direct in such countries. And with a collapsed education system which produces empty-headed people, it's much easier for them..." -- Erhan Göksel
