In a way you just need to look at the states surrounding Israel, and see that all those Arab states still act according to real politik and thus further the interests of Israel and then America.
I found more echoes - obviously - however in what happened to Françafrique in this past half century. Political pawns in service of French capital, in a way the final win of colonialism.
It seems that violence is all-encompassing and all-destroying, in that sense. There seems to be little hope of closure, which I think is where Fanon was more optimistic, with Marxist ideas of a great reversal looming. The great mystifiers, religion chief among them, yet still to win despite the innate praxis of violence Fanon describes.
I look forward to reading up the rest, however. Definitely a very interesting and enriching text.
I think those are ideas driven by his background as a psychiatrist, yes. They do echo Marx's "Opium of the masses" - religion or, here, superstition, as a pacifier. In that sense Fanon explains how those beliefs serve an integral part in upkeeping the status quo, how they detract from the material conditions of those people and the real oppression they're suffering from.
The conclusion, I believe, is that belief can only impede the reversal of violence for so long before it reaches its end. There is a time where it isn't enough, when the oppressed do rise up. So that ritual catalyst for violence or sexual desire or whatever else isn't needed and dissolves.
