Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

alshaytan

Front cover of Muʿaḏabū al-ʾarḍ (Les Damnés de la terre) by Frantz Fanon. Translated by Sami al-Durubi and Jamal al-Atassi (Dar al-Qalam 1972).

I think that all people should read Fanon, but I especially implore those of the imperial core to do so. You will not have an understanding of how class is structured without it.

In The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon is scathing in his criticisms of the national bourgeois (also known as the comprador bourgeoisie). They are capitalists that form part of the usually previously colonised population. They serve as intermediaries/subsidiaries to the imperial core.

For example, the global owner of McDonald’s is Richard Kempczinski (USA), but the previous franchise operator of all South African locations was our current president, Cyril Ramaphosa. He resigned as owner before his stint as president, but this illustrates that the national bourgeois and national government overlap.

Fanon describes this national bourgeoisie as a class uninterested in the development of their own country, instead placing their securities in western markets and spending their weekends in luxurious European capitals.

For Fanon, the national bourgeois are a greedy caste, get-rich-quick, content to accept dividends from the old colonial power, and incapable of inventiveness. They are 'not even the replica of Europe, but its caricature', and they conceal their mediocrity with cars and holidays on the Riviera.

The bourgeois across the world shares interests, but those of the imperial core are slightly different to those of the periphery. For a wholistic understanding of imperialism and neocolonialism, you just understand the relationship between capitalists of the first and third world.
