Nihilistic disinterest in justice marked socialists and Dreyfusards alike

Evidence

I hope I may be forgiven for asking that those who take it on themselves to describe colonialism remember one thing: that it is Utopian to try to ascertain in what ways one kind of inhuman behavior differs from another kind of inhuman behavior. I have no desire to add to the problems of the world, but I should simply like to ask M. Mannoni whether he does not think that for a Jew the differences between the anti-Semitism of Maurras and that of Goebbels are imperceptible. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 320 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
