In 1966, a writer in these pages claimed that Fanon’s “arguments for violence” are “spreading amongst the young Negroes in American slums.” A reporter for the Times worried about their effect on “young radical Negro leaders.” Indeed, Stokely Carmichael described Fanon as a mentor, and the founders of the Black Panther Party regarded “The Wretched of the Earth” as essential reading. https://groups.io/g/marxmail/topic/60_years_after_his_death_fanons_ideas_remain_the_weapons_of_the_oppressed/87661690?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,0,87661690,previd=1639774121670589594,nextid=1639672619291990563&previd=1639774121670589594&nextid=1639672619291990563 If Fanon's not good enough for some nosebleed Marxists, maybe some anarchists will adopt him.
