How to Explain?

Franco “Bifo” Berardi

How can I explain the words “Blacks with Trump” that I saw on a sign carried by a Black man on an American street?

How can I explain that a young Black man expresses his support for those who killed George Floyd and a thousand others like him?

How to explain that the descendants of those tortured in Auschwitz build the walls and gates of a concentration camp?

How to explain that the descendants of the exterminated want to be exterminators?

Is identification with the oppressor the only way to survive when you understand that it’s impossible to get free from oppression?

Is human history going to be erased so that humans can be perfectly inhuman?
