I’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
I’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.
Revolution is always, in every example, a doorway for powerhungry authoritarians to swoop in.
I disagree. Like I said: CNT/FAI Catalonia, 1919 Bavaria and anarchist Ukraine are counterexamples.
If a revolution is thorough enough to eradicate the hierarchical structure of oppression, it doesn’t have to be used by authoritarians.
