Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote

Ọ̀gá Chidi,
Your argument prompted a thought about the relationship between the philosophes in 18th century  France--Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, etc.-- and the masses that finally stormed the Bastille to kickstart  the French Revolution.

Should there be a necessary disconnect between a freedom fighter and her lifestyle? Is there a necessary connection  between liberatory project and poverty? Is it impossifble or a rich freedom fighter to instigate a rebellion? Hasn't the elite, and the idea of vanguardism, being at the foreground of most the understanding of protest and revolution?

A freedom fighter aiming to liberate people who live in abject poverty should not be seen living "a five star lifestyle". The optics would be discouraging.
