Hey everyone. Some interesting pieces this week. The first is an important text by Fanon. In the excerpt Fanon charts the development from colonialism to independence and the very real threat of the creation of a national bourgeoisie that takes the mantle of the former colonial system. Then an interesting look at the contradictions within Bolivia in Viewpoint Magazine. And lastly, Quinn Slobodian in the Guardian on the right wing view of freedom held by many prominent NGO's.
