Colonizing civilizations are morally corrupted and inevitably breed fascism

Evidence

What am I driving at? At this idea: that no one colonizes innocently, that no one colonizes with impunity either; that a nation which colonizes, that a civilization which justifies colonization - and therefore force - is already a sick civilization, a civilization that is morally diseased, that irresistibly, progressing from one consequence to another, one repudiation to another, calls for its Hitler, I mean its punishment. — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 34

Categorization

• XREF: The claim that colonial force rebounds on Europe prefigures Fanon’s argument that colonial violence returns to the metropole — key mechanism for the module. — connects to: Capitalism and formal humanism lead logically to fascism — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 24; Colonial relations dehumanize colonizer and colonized alike — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 52; Colonization corrupts the colonizer, who becomes inured to atrocity — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 18
• DEEPTHINKING: The core thesis of the whole Discourse: Nazi ‘punishment’ is not a rupture but the refund of colonial barbarism to Europe. Dense, load-bearing, paradigm-shifting.
