minus-squareNurgus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months 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.
