It is not a dead society that we want to revive.We leave that to those who go in for exoticism. Nor is it the present colonial society that we wish to prolong, the most putrid carrionthat ever rotted under the sun. It is a new society that we must create, with the help of all our brother slaves, a society rich with all theproductive power of modern times, warm with all the fraternity of olden days.
