The author is also an authentic interpreter of the oeuvre of Frantz Fannon. He considers the revolutionary work of Fannon, his class struggle interpretation, theoretical works and the issues raised in them also relevant in our times, despite the fact that some of the solutions suggested by Fannon could be questioned or should be rejected. For instance the statement that lifting neo-colonial suppression without violence is almost impossible does not imply that violence automatically results in a higher level of civilisation. Former colonies should not try to catch up Europe: revolutionaries and liberation movement members should have a vision of a more human world order.

The neocon punishment and social policy – that is zero tolerance and the criminalisation of the poor – still rages. Why? Because the Washington Consensus and cutbacks in the social safety net now are also including the punishing control of criminals, furthermore the invisible hand of the market implies and makes it necessary the use of the iron fist of the punishing state. Comprehensive studies made over the past decade also reveal that it is now not an issue of punishment policy and criminology only but a new political line has been established.

Iraq was turned into a huge free trade paradise that brought nightmares from hell for Iraqis. The country became the colony of capital meaning extreme pillage in a bloody capitalist laboratory. All assets that could be found now are owned by foreigners. Iraqis understood: the age of darkness had arrived for them.
