Its all the things I think are despicable: patronage, deferring to the monarchy and the name of the British Empire, which is a monument of exploitation and conquest.” ThinkingWantLooksNamesClubsBritishEmpiresVillainExploitationConquestMonumentMonarchyBritish EmpireDespicableTurned DownPatronage Author:Ken Loach
“Every time a colony wants independence, the questions on the agenda are: a) how do you get the imperialists out, and b) what kind of society do you build? There are usually the bourgeois nationalists who say, 'Let's just change the flag and keep everything as it was.' Then there are the revolutionaries who say, 'Let's change the property laws.' It's always a critical moment.” WantKindMomentsLawIndependencePropertyCriticalRevolutionaryAgendasFlagsBourgeoisColonyCritical Moments Author:Ken Loach
