Welcome to Litsy!

#CoverLove Day 9: Holding up Wretched Of The Earth (which I was searching for) while wearing my sturdy #Boots while at Daunt Bookstore in London last year.

I am explaining the evils of racism , imperialism, and colonialism to Crosby as mentioned in this book, but I think grooming is really what‘s on his mind.I love my reading buddy .#catsoflitsy

#ReadYourSign prompt no.4: Virgo element “Earth” in title, cover, or in the book.

My first book choice here in the wake of George Floyd and in support of #BlackLivesMatter.

Thanks @jdtchicago for tagging me for #phil5. #icantread about philosophy without rolling my eyes about how dead, white & male it is. Here are some who may not be credited as philosophers because elitism, but who conceptualised different modes of thinking about class, gender, race, colonialism, sexuality, and caste & who influenced me: Karl Marx, Simone de Beauvoir, Frantz Fanon, Judith Butler, B. R. Ambedkar

And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization is simply a question of relative strength.
