"By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?" Remembering Walter Rodney, the revolutionary anti-imperialist, socialist, and Pan-Africanist, born on this day in 1942.
Known for his influential book "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa", Rodney was one of the most renowned intellectuals of Pan-Africanism, looking to build unity among African and Afro-descendant peoples, while connecting their struggles to the class struggle.
@SpiritofLenin @rebel_afrika Obviously there are some common standards. Attacking the children of slave masters would be just as immoral as slave masters attacking the children of slaves, for instance.
@SpiritofLenin Except, there are no chains.
