He understood extractive imperialism perfectly but not settler colonialism. What he did understand of it he got from the wildly different experience of French African settler colonialism.
It's like that difference between the apartheid and the genocidal state that's come up recently.

The US is both, genocidal to First Nations, apartheid to non whites.
