This is a great piece!!! So good to hear because too much discourse these days fails to address the modern day “wretched of the Earth.” I read Walter Rodney’s book a few months ago and it is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for writing this ❤️
Rodney is genuinely great, and so precise in his analysis. Together with Nkrumah's work on Neo-Colonialism, he is what I always recommend once people have read Lenin, because it brings people much closer to the terms of the current struggle, and the form it takes internationally to this day.
I haven’t heard of Nkrumah, thanks for the recommendation!!! Yes, I think Lenin’s “Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism” is an absolute must read. At this point it’s practically prophetic

That is a great line.
The notion of “subaltern” captures a lot of what the “non-humanity” you are referring to is
