“If all efforts for the liberation of men and women from domination, servitude, social inequality, arbitrary authority, despotism, obscurantism, and the like, are in vain, if all hopes of achieving the complete realization of individual faculties and collective joy are chimerical, if they are only something that history reduced to ‘master narratives’ of impossible aspirations, then it should be admitted that the promises of modernity are not only not rational, they are decidedly irrational. The only thing that really remains, then, is power. The rational thing would be to surrender oneself to it. In this way, the seduction of power offers itself to us as an alternative to modernity.” --Aníbal Quijano
