    Do you even know the history of Haiti and why it is globally relevant? You CANNOT divorce that from the context of this.

      Yes. And if he hadn’t slaughtered his White allies. Or been so oppressive to his own people I would probably think he was a pretty decent guy. He wasn’t. Like people in general he was a complicated and morally problematic person. How was slaughtering his white allies winning freedom for him and his people? Or do you view it as impossible to do wrong in pursuit of revolution?

        Okay so, since you didn’t quite understand it before:

        do you view it as impossible to do wrong in pursuit of revolution?

        That’s a strawman.
