Evidence

“It is not by losing itself in the human universe, with its blood and its spirit, that France will be universal, it is by remaining itself.” That is what the French bourgeoisie has come to, five years after the defeat of Hitler! And it is precisely in that that its historic punishment lies: to be condemned, returning to it as though driven by a vice, to chew over Hitler’s vomit. — Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism, 173
