When will they free Hati from pseudo-slavery then?
Wait, what?
Read about Haitian revolution. It’s fucking badass. Slaves slaughtered slave owners and ejected the French off the island and it became the first nation to abolish slavery. Napolean sent an expedition later to try and recapture it since it was such a cash cow and would help his expeditions through Europe remain solvent. Ultimately the Western world ganged up on Haiti and forced it to pay reparations to France for seizing its own freedom.
Small correction, the French revolution was mostly the bourgeoisie versus the clergy & nobility
