That what I want is that Marxism and communism be placed in the service of black peoples, and not black peoples in the service of Marxism and communism.

Additional quotes by Aimé Césaire

What he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.
