In its origins, lies the first traces of racism: black slaves.<br /><br />Modern South Africa has not and will not be able to escape the racist logic of modernity. Modern project of national liberation is created out of contradictions. Us versus the Other.<br /><br />Racism can never die in a modern democracy. End of exclusion is a modern myth of political justification and legitimacy.<br /><br />Israelis are no different from the South African or the experience of any other modern state. If Israelis represent the state, then Palestenians represent the subject masses of the modern state.<br /><br />Nietzsche says in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" that state is the coldest of the cold monsters. It says the coldest lie: that I, state am the people.<br /><br />Let us then celebrate at this day our ignorance of the politics of exclusion. Our refusal to let go of the comforts of believing in an eventual evolution to "good", will not allow us to critically engage with the very ideology which created such belief: Modernity.<br /><br />Political and socio-economic cartography of post-aparthied South African is no revolutionary. Post-aparthied the same system of laws have been used to initiate a system of violence against other forms of social other defined may be not by color but by ethinicity, or economic position etc.<br /><br />Cremated WOlf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256308974913597184.post-36374758386798588802010-03-22T16:57:21.078+02:002010-03-22T16:57:21.078+02:00Till the day we keep fighting we are in the situat...Till the day we keep fighting we are in the situation to bring the evil to end.
