"If we had taken the capitalist road, we could not have put an end to the chaos in the country or done away with poverty or backwardness. That is why we have repeatedly declared that we shall adhere to Marxism and keep the socialist road."

--Deng Xiaoping, the architect of modern China, born on this day 1904🇨🇳

THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION 🇭🇹

The final years of the 18th century were called the Age of Revolutions. One usually thinks of the American or French Revolution, not the Haitian Revolution, that began on this day, 1790.

"There is no movement among our negroes. They don't even think of it. A revolt among them is impossible. Freedom for negroes is a chimera."
--M. La Barre, French colonist, 1790

Just a few months later, events would ridicule these racist assumptions.

Black slaves rose and fought to create the nation of Haiti, the first truly free republican America; the only revolution of the age that materialised the ideals of freedom, fraternity and equality for all, and played a central role in the collapse of the entire system of slavery and in the liberation of Latin America.

Haiti created the possible.

The silencing of the Haitian Revolution is part of a narrative of global domination: what happened in Haiti contradicts most of what the West has claimed about itself.

The Haitian Revolution was unthinkable, even as it happened, but unthinkable only in the framework of self-centred Western thought. Not only because it challenged slavery and racism, but because of the way it did so.

It was the ultimate test of the universalist pretensions of both the French and the American Revolutions.

And they both failed that test.
