    Settlers are still settlers, yeah.

    Fanon's point was that settlers can be reached by the decolonial struggle and join it. I'm reading Huey P. Newton's biography right now and he actually has a similar observation about white radicals. The danger, of course, is that settlers will take over the struggle and sheepdog it into electoralism. I think the true role of settlers in the decolonial struggle must be subordinate to the colonized.
