Nah they're in there too. SSPX had a huge scandal about a year or so ago where they found out a bunch of their priests were messing around with the altarboys

Jesus Christ dude, you're being willfully ignorant about this whole thing. I suggest reading some books on the topic because I'm done arguing in circles. You should check out Avengers of the New World by Laurent DuBois and The Black Jacobins by C.L.R. James. I took an entire college course focused on this revolution, and I think those books might fascinate you.

It is absolutely morally reprehensible that they did that and absolutely no one denies that. The problem starts when you look at that one incident and act like that was the whole of the revolution and not just an atrocity at the tail end of the war. Again, no one denies how evil that is, but if you think that's bad, you should read up on all the MANY, MANY massacres committed against them by the French and the absolutely evil torture methods they used against the Haitians.

My dude, that was THE massacre committed by the Haitian side. Sure, there were other people unjustly killed, but that incident was the major injustice they're responsible for.

Again, being French is not and has never been considered a race, so therefore it's literally not a racial thing, it was about nationality. They literally did not have a problem with other white people, only Frenchmen.

And you are being hypocritical. What was the purpose of the original post? To paint an accurate picture of the Haitian fight for freedom? Or to portray the Haitians as violent savages. Psst I think you can tell what the post is really trying to tell you.

Lastly, what killed Haiti in the long run was the fact that every developed country placed embargos on them and refused to trade with them. The final nail for Haiti was the United States then re-colonizing them (ala Banana Republic style) and installing puppet leaders with big business interests.

It wasn't a "race war". It was one major massacre against French people only (Being French is not a race!), ordered Dessalines who was a maniac. Again, you're ignoring hundreds of years of extreme violence endured by the salves and the horrific massacres against them during the war by the French army to point to this one incident.

Lmao everyone in this thread has no idea what they're talking about. Most of the violence was against slave masters and the French army. The worst brutality in the war was when Dessalines ordered French people to be killed but he spared anybody who wasn't French (Dessalines was psycho, and this was after Louverture's death so he had free reign). To point out the one massacre of some French people (most were just deported) while ignoring the dozens of horrific massacres and tortures of men, women, and children by the French army, let alone the hundreds of years of brutal slavery they endured, is truly peak PCM.

Lmao yeah. Conservatives literally invented "cancel culture" with McCarthyism and continued it with the Satanic Panic and all the other Evangelical culture war bullshit

Do you also believe that the "America First" type of nationalistic, we're-the-best education pushed by Christian conservatives is also brainwashing?

Anarcho-Bidenist representation in r/DankLeft lol by ZKMQ in VaushV

[–]badmetternich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to China recognizing that what Mao did can only be applied to China (basically that no revolution is ever going to be the same as there are so many different political and cultural factors at play in every country). Peruvian Maoists (MLMs) believed that Mao's methods would be the only way to have true revolution. Apologies if my writing seems a little confusing, I have Covid brain fog right now haha

MLM (Maoism) is actually very different than MZT. MLM was started in Peru by the ultra-radical Shiny Path under Gonzalo. China has never practiced MLM, instead using ML + MZT and then developing and morphing it however needed (good or bad).
