Karl Marx's Dichotomy

In order to look at the theories of post colonialism by Franz Fanon and to get a very good understanding of what he was he saying, we cannot just look at his work alone but rather contrast it with another theorist, this theorist being Karl Marx, by comparing the two it is going to be easier and more clearer to see what Franz Fanon saw in terms of post-colonialism.

Despite Frantz Fanon 's and Karl Marx 's public aim of the emancipation of all human beings from oppression, Fanon maintains in his final book, The Wretched of the Earth, that the connection amid his theory of colonial individuality and Marxist ideology cannot be decreased to a shallow doctrine of class struggles. Nevertheless Fanon challenged an oversimplified analogy alongside

This aftermath from the "deep-rooted myth" that fetishizes race and does not include the colonized from membership inside the human race by separating the black man from the white colonizers and confining the colonized to the rank of an animal [2]. In Fanon 's racialized separation amid colonizers and colonized resonates Karl Marx 's dichotomy amid capitalists and workers. As Marx explains, this capitalist distinction is indicative of the "mysterious character of the commodity-form," that is crafted by the ostensible detachment of the worth produced by the labouring procedure [3]. This worth is observed as an inherent attribute of the commodity that generates the expression of capitalism’s communal relations across the money- form and facilitates the exploitation of the operatives by their capitalist oppressors. Though, David Marriott asserts in his article "On Racial Fetishism" that there is an "antinomian relation" amid the theories of Marx and Fanon because, even though Marx 's commodity fetishism stays relevant in the capitalist area, it is inadequate to clarify Fanon 's assembly of contest in the colonial context [4]. By contrasting Fanon 's assembly of contest alongside commodity and Freudian fetishism, Marriott construes Fanon 's racial fetishism as a stereotype emerging from the racial phobias of colonial

If we gaze at the reading of Marx we can discern how his colonial theories are established concerning the operatives and the capitalists, the affluent and the poor, the people who own and the people do not, in analogy to Franz Fanon whose foreign theories are established concerning race. Because colonialism needs the transactions relations of capitalism, Fanon 's scutiny adapts Marx 's theory to colonialism by claiming that the colonial communal relations assess worth, not across the money-form, but instead across the whiteness of one 's skin. Across the early periods of development, the colonies assist to more the commercial hobbies of capitalist society. Lacking the capitalist bourgeoisie "to craft the conditions for the progress of a large-scale proletariat, to mechanise agriculture" and retaining the colonized as "forced labour," the dominion stays stagnant amid its early construction of semi-feudalism and the parasitic colonizers ' disinterest in instituting the transactions procedures of capitalism [10]. Fanon therefore describes the colonies "as a basis of raw physical that, after coiled into manufactured goods, might be distributed on the European market" [11]. As the workers ' locations as "someone who exchanges, posits transactions worth, and maintains transactions worth nevertheless exchange" integrates them into capitalist area, the association of colonialism excludes
