Trials and tribulations of National consciousness

After the Nation has withered from colonization, it seeks independence and eventually gains a pseudo form of freedom from its previous state. The bourgeoisie of the previous element maintains an ever present hold on the mentality of the colonized political elite. In an attempt to replicate the grandeur of the westernized bourgeoisie, the national bourgeoisie develop into a false mimesis and perpetuate the previous regime. They are as bad or worse than the former national institution and continue the stranglehold on the population of masses from true independence. Unable to achieve national unity, "the population stagnate in intolerable poverty" 112, and eventually will recognize the treachery the national bourgeoisie placed their country.
