Sorry. My reply was given as Cde Brasky's post. The post/reply ought read:
Cde Dennis Brasky wrote: “The colonized took up arms not only because they were dying of hunger and witnessing the disintegration of their society,” wrote Frantz Fanon in his incendiary book The Wretched of the Earth. “But also because the colonists treated them like animals and considered them brutes. As soon as they are born, it is obvious to them that their cramped world can only be challenged by out and out violence.” https://www.juancole.com/2024/ 04/diagnosed-colonialism- revolutionary.html ( https://www.juancole.com/2024/04/diagnosed-colonialism-revolutionary.html ) To which I replied with an excerpt from an earlier posting: "With total subjugation, the power of the oppressor over the oppressed is absolute. And it is its very unlimited nature that is its limit. The freedom-fighters motto could be "We know what you can do to us but you have no idea what we will be able to do to you" for the oppressed can learn and learn quickly the ways of the conqueror's terror; for his 'terror' is the instillation of the same fear into the own-shadow of the overlord such that he can't tell whether the shade following him is that of his own or that of the last thing his eyes won't ever see." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
