minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·24 days agoI’m not sure why you’re arguing in favour of literal slavery, but ok. There are other examples: Bavaria in 1919 Spain with the CNT/FAI in the 1930s The 1905 revolution in Russia, along with the 1917 revolution
minus-squareNurgus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·24 days agoI’m not arguing for slavery, you’re misunderstanding the quote. I didn’t say the change of masters was inherently no better than the previous masters. Revolution is always, in every example, a doorway for powerhungry authoritarians to swoop in. The fact that Haitians were eventually much better off than as slaves doesn’t change that.
