Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violent suppression.
That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics is dominance and violence and "make them liberatory". This goes deeper than "just" embedded politics or lofty talks about ethics, it comes down to what kind of relations you believe do and should and must not structure the world.
thank you for that explanation. I kept thinking hammers and saws, and didn't get the metaphor at all.
Now this is much clearer.

Buonasera a tutti. appena arrivato su poliversity. Sono ugone e sono felicemente linuxaro da almeno il 2004( ad esser precisi pasticciavo con linux anche da prima ma nel 2004 c'è stato il passaggio definitivo) e poco dopo l abbandono definitivo di win. La prima distro fu la mitica mandrake 9.1 e il passaggio definitivo fu su ubuntu 5.04. Da vari anni solo debian e ne son felicissimo :-)
