        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.

            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.
