"Algeria was therefore only the beginning of something that was in development: this is why I say that it's the global capitalist system that finally reacted against us"

- Ahmed Ben Bella

About this Quote

Ahmed Ben Bella's quote is describing the Algerian War of Independence, which lasted from 1954 to 1962. The battle was dealt with between the French colonial pressures and also the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). The FLN was successful in gaining independence for Algeria, and this triumph was seen as a significant blow to the international capitalist system. Ben Bella is suggesting that the Algerian War of Independence was the beginning of a larger motion against the capitalist system. He thinks that the worldwide capitalist system reacted against the FLN's success in Algeria, which this reaction signified the system's vulnerability. Ben Bella's quote is a pointer that the Algerian War of Independence was a significant occasion in the background of anti-capitalist battle, and that it was the start of something much larger. It is a call to action for those that wish to continue the battle versus the capitalist system.
