»DER SOZIALISMUS UND DIE SEELE DES MENSCHEN erschien unter dem Titel THE SOUL OF MAN UNDER SOCIALISM im Februar 1891 im FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. – Man wird nun, wo dieser verschollene Essay wieder ans Licht kommt, verstehen, warum die englische Gesellschaft diesen genialen Mann, der einst ihr verhätschelter Liebling war, solange seine schönheitshungrige Seele mit ihr zu spielen schien, später so tödlich haßte und so infam ins Elend stieß. Die Rache der Sklaven ist schrecklich; die Rancune der Herren aber ist unsäglich. Eine Einsicht, die einem oft verwandten Geiste, Friedrich Nietzsche, vielleicht nicht gefehlt hätte, wenn er nicht bloß Deutscher, sondern sogar Engländer gewesen wäre.« Gustav Landauer »Sehr einfallsreich und unterhaltend, hat aber nichts mit Sozialismus zu tun.« George Bernhard Shaw

The Khoesan were the first people in Africa to undergo the rigors of European colonization. By the early nineteenth century, they had largely been brought under colonial rule, dispossessed of their land and stock, and forced to work as laborers for farmers of European descent. Nevertheless, a portion of them were able to regain a degree of freedom and maintain their independence by taking refuge in the mission stations of the Western and Eastern Cape, most notably in the Kat River valley. Through petitions, speeches at meetings, letters to the newspapers and correspondence between themselves, the Cape Khoesan articulated a continuous critique of the oppressions of colonialism, always stressing the need for equality before the law, as well as their opposition to attempts to limit their freedom of movement through vagrancy legislation and related measures. This was accompanied by a well-grounded distrust of the British settlers in the Eastern Cape and a concomitant hope, rarely realized, in the benevolence of the British government in London. Comprising 98 texts, These Oppressions Won't Cease - was an utterance expressed by Willem Uithaalder, commander of Khoe rebel forces in the war of 1850-53 - contains the essential documents of Khoesan political thought in the nineteenth century.
