The second group is what he calls the "colonized intellectual". The first is the native worker who is valued by the colonist for his work. One of the temporary consequences of the colonization of which Fanon speaks is the division of the native into three groups. For the colonized, subjectivity is always directed against him. The natives are incapable of ethics and therefore are the embodiment of absolute evil as opposed to the Christian settlers who are forces of good. Settlers literally don't see natives as members of the same species. Based on this conclusion, Fanon characterizes the settler class's assessment of the native population as dehumanizing. He uses Aristotelian logic in which the colony followed the "principle of reciprocal exclusivity". Through his observations, he concluded that all colonial structures are actually nested societies that are not complementary. This conception of decolonization is based on Fanon's construction of the colonial world. The purpose of this process is the eventual replacement of one group of humans by another, and this process is only complete when the transition is complete. Fanon starts from the premise that decolonization is, by definition, a violent process without exception. It is a detailed explanation of violence in relation to the colonial world and the decolonization process. The first section of The Wretched of the Earth is titled "On Violence" or "Concerning Violence".
