Fanon openly accepted violence as an ingredient in successful decolonization while others tries to reach that conclusion peacefully.

“For seeking and learning are in fact nothing but recollection.” (Socrates) I have never been a big fan of reincarnation‚ but I think it’s really interesting that how Socrates looked at it.
