One of our beautiful posters 
Had a quote I think in another instance,
Something about "Europe will not forgive Hitler, not because of xyz, but because he turned colonialism upon white Europeans"
Can someone remind me who the author of that was?

Aime Cesaire in Discourse on Colonialism?
[W]hat he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the [slur]s of India, and the [n-word]s of Africa.

ah that's it! Thanks a lot! It's an interesting quote, do you happen to know if Cesaire is worth exploring further?
@BeamBrain@hexbear.net Do you happen to know if Cesaire is worth exploring further?
I haven't read any of his stuff except Discourse On Colonialism, but I know he turned against the USSR because he believed all the bad stuff Khrushchev said about Stalin which makes me think he probably had some less-than-stellar takes in his time.
