What Fanon work is this from?

The writing style doesn't 'feel' like Fanon's, admittedly this is entirely subjective. What isn't subjective is when I search it, I only see other references to this meme and no references to texts.

There is a similar quote from Arundati Roy, that's something like: "Pacifism is a theatre piece, and it needs an audience to be enjoyed". But ya I don't think this is a real Fanon quote.

"Capitalism more like crapitalism" - Frantz Fanon

That's true, it's not from anything I've read. I just reposted it because Booker Ngesa Omole posted it & he gets a bump in credibility due to actively participating in a general strike. I just post slop on this one it's gonna be automated soon too so you won't even be able to contact support this fast

You should read Fanon's Concerning Violence it's a lot meatier

I think you should delete this post and stop seeing anyone as credible, who uses famous comrades names and image to spread their own ideas. I mean, I agree with the content, but still. It's like using AI.

I mean when I post things here without verifying them there is a touch of deliberate site vandalism involved I will admit. I'll consider it

Maybe just editing it to say it's not real quote would be enough. Also, at this point, it probably doesn't matter.

There ya go. Idk why I didn't think of that. I guess my concern was also deleting the correction after people already imprinted this in their brainz
