algerian people were however subjected to police brutality in France even more before the independence, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_massacre_of_1961 isn’t all imperialist violence colonial though?
Agreed, I’d argue that was Foucault’s boomerang in action, though. France had colonies far before it had colonized people brought back to the mainland who could be subjected to domestic brutality.
To my understanding, no to the second point. Colonialism predates imperialism by quite a bit and they’re different phenomenons. Maybe the boomerang should be updated, lol. (Or maybe I’m misinterpreting it, I’ll admit to not having read a whole lot of Foucault.)
