One of our beautiful posters rat-salute Had a quote I think in another instance, Something about “Europe will not forgive Hitler, not because of xyz, but because he turned colonialism upon white Europeans” Can someone remind me who the author of that was?

    Aime Cesaire in Discourse on Colonialism?

    [W]hat he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the [slur]s of India, and the [n-word]s of Africa.

    There is a quote attributed to Georgy Zurkov - “We have liberated Europe from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it.”

    I do not know what the source material is though. (Wikipedia cites this but I can not read it)

    Probably not what you’re looking for, but strikes a similar chord.
