“it’s too easy to understand colonialism only on one level and not to understand neo-colonialism at all. just as we have only a stereotyped idea of what class is. here ‘marxists’ are usually among the worst offenders.”

“you know, the stereotyped fantasy of heroic factory workers making revolution against the rockefellers. well, that won’t cut it. not against neo-colonialism, which is a much more sophisticated system of oppression.”
“and it certainly won’t cut it in the u.s.a., which is the most highly developed neo-colonial society in the world (one where white workers want & vote for the rockefellers to be their leaders). neo-colonialism is a system that takes many more forms than capitalism did before.”
“as amilcar cabral said thirty years ago, neo-colonialism represents an imperialism that can take the form of anti-colonialism or even of ‘socialism’ if need be. even back then, cabral foresaw the need to bombard old stereotyped politics.”
