When you bring up decolonization, you have to talk about Frantz Fanon, the guy that wrote this book called The Wretched of the Earth. And in the book, it specifically says that decolonization is an inherently violent process.

The best things said about it
Introduction to wretched of the earth that Jean Paul starts wrote, it's a France fan book is is fantastic when talking about violence and violence in the decolonial process.
Goes back to like Fanon. A lot of people believe that you can't accomplish what you want to accomplish with civil disobedience.
They were all forced to read France fenon who was this do who worked with the fln and wrote this book called The Wretched of the earth which had a profound effect on the global left.
This is like Frantz Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth or whatever he wrote—decolonization is always violent; it's fundamentally violent.
Wretched of the earth the only thing i understood was uh was like some of the stories and and i remember them and i carried them with me.

Why people recommend it
The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon is a foundational anti-colonial text that explores the psychological and physical dynamics of decolonization, famously arguing that the process is inherently violent. On Behind the Bastards, James Stout recommended the book, highlighting its fantastic introduction by Jean-Paul Sartre and its insights into violence during decolonial struggles. On Timcast IRL, Phil Labonte, Serge, and other hosts repeatedly brought up Fanon's work to explain the ideological background of political rhetoric surrounding decolonization, noting that the author specifically framed decolonization as an inherently violent phenomenon and tracing the spread of these ideas among left-wing thought leaders. Avi Yemini also referenced the book on the same program while discussing the influence of French philosophy on modern policing and social policies in Australia. Additionally, Emily Jashinsky mentioned Fanon on Breaking Points when analyzing protestors who reject conventional civil disobedience in favor of more radical approaches to political change.
