I’m not too optimistic about anything good coming out of whatever UN intervention is brewing, I don’t know if these guys would even have a remote chance of doing anything with foreign intervention looming. I’m also not the most optimistic in people quoting Toussaint or Che or whoever it’s not like it’s a particularly high barrier to espouse revolutionary/populist rhetoric, for every Castro who is claiming to be a dignity revolution, but is really trying to do socialism there are 10 despots who are claiming the world and then just end up doing jack shit, I guess we’ll see, it’s not like it could be much worse than the current crop of leadership.
I personally would love to see some campaigning for France to send all that money they stole back, not that it would go into good hands in the current government, but they should still have to pay that cool 20 to 30 billion back with like a million percent interest. Although if Haiti had anti western leadership they would stand a much greater chance of taking that to the ICJ* themselves, they deserve the fucking money back and then some.
Also Russia not vetoing the UN invasion resolution when they wouldn’t have even lost that much face doing it is a bad sign for the international connections of these people.
Would have loved to learn more about the current situation in Haiti. Unfortunately this article is written in such a biased way that it loses all credibility. A shame as I actually want to know what’s going on.
It takes a little more effort on your part, but there’s an awful lot of good information to pull from this piece.
These are socialists speaking from their points of view. They want the people to have the power, and they’re pissed at all the other players who are trying to keep the people of Haiti from governing themselves.
There’s more than one other country trying to influence where the power to rule ends up. One country would basically be an invasion; what do we call it when more than one country, especially from opposing sides, tries to steer another country’s direction? We need to take a really hard look at how Haiti is being used as a proxy battleground between capitalist and communist nations.
The writer references the US’s Global Fragility Act of 2019, which can be found on Congress’s website. Look at this bit in the synopsis: “The State Department shall select priority countries and regions that are particularly at risk, and report to Congress 10-year plans for each. Each plan shall include information including descriptions of goals, plans for reaching such goals, and benchmarks for measuring progress.” Next, search for “Global Fragility Act” and “Haiti” to see if Haiti really is being targeted for US intervention. The State Department and Council on Foreign Relations say that, yes, the US is involving itself in Haitian politics, explicitly with the goal of being an investment (CFR) and “stabilized” according to standards laid out by the US (State Department).
Basically, we can insert Team America: World Police gifs as desired here. Ignoring the socialist bias entirely, we have to look at why Haiti is important to the US and Canada, how it’s being used as a proxy for the cold war between the East and West, and why we don’t think the Haitian people are capable of governing themselves. You’re welcome to ask your own questions about it, including why you want to dismiss the opinion as totally worthless right away.
