i work in the field of mental health, in particular with trauma victims and survivors of patriarchal entitlement, both male and female. I just finished reading Fanon's book Black Skin, White Masks and am waiting for my S African friend to finish her copy(later translation). This lecture is one of many I am listening to, each one as unique as the other, as part of the edict "Instruct yourself, because the dominant power will not lead you to information that damage it". During this lecture, I too, was impressed by the ownership principle towards emancipation. Not only of land territories but also ownership of our internal territories, instead of vying for the master's seat and ways, as the only way to heal the split, using the energy abusively servicing division keeping people apart. I think Fanon, of his time, was unable from within his maleness, to identify the ills of and pain from of patriarchy, founded in violence and division practiced in sexism, racisim, colonialism, ableism, ageism, and ever more categories as we discover the complexity of being human is. As Fanon exhorts we really do need to find the "We" of being human. I wonder whether Ghandi's methods, thoughts and strategies were of some influence on Fanon?
Thank you for having repeated Fanon: commun (ity) has to do with propriety (ownership): then wealth (more than the community); poverty (less than)

Hopefully not as Ghandi was a racist, who advocated for and fully supported the caste system.
@@gregpovy curious response to Gandhi. Did he not achieve the extraordinary for his people?
Why is everybody coughing all the time o.O
