civil disobedience

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves and the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem."

the problem with obedience

"White racist notions are so deep-rooted
within capitalist society that the failure of
African agriculture to advance was put down
to the inherent inferiority of the African. It
would be much truer to say that it was due to
the white intruders, although the basic explanation
is to be found not in the personal ill-will
of the colonialists or in their racial origin, but
rather in the organized viciousness of the capitalist/
colonialist system."

Walter Rodney, How Europe Undeveloped Africa (via wisdomforthemasses)
