John Henrik Clarke
In Africa, the woman was co-equal. In Europe, the woman was a vassal. To some extent, she still is.
John Henrik Clarke
This kind of collective society - giving to each according to his need - existed in Africa not only before Karl Marx, but also before Europe.

No more religion anymore. No more who's a Moslem and who's a Protestant.
John Henrik Clarke
