C.L.R. James Quotes

It Is Toussaint's Supreme Merit That While He Saw European Civilisation As A Valuable And Necessary Thing, And Strove To Lay Its Foundations Among His People, He Never Had The Illusion That It Conferred Any Moral Superiority. He Knew French, British, And Spanish Imperialists For The Insatiable Gangsters That They Were, That There Is No Oath Too Sacred For Them To Break, No Crime, Deception, Treachery, Cruelty, Destruction Of Human Life And Property Which They Would Not Commit Against Those Who Could Not Defend Themselves.
