What Needs to Stop in Haiti and What to Hope For

It seems that since the Revolution in 1804 there has continually been too much foreign intervention in Haiti. There has been for example installation of several dictators by the US, removal of tariffs by the same at the point of a gun, and never ending onerous and impossible to resolve debt burdens. Another constant seems to have been the continual killing of opponents of Haitian dictators by government thugs working for dictators. These are among the primary reasons for the failure of Haiti to achieve even $1,000 per capita income.

All of this needs to stop or Haiti will remain dirt poor indefinitely. No more debts for Haiti, and existing ones need to be renounced. No more dictators and foreign imposed rulers for Haiti, and the existing one should be forced out of the country by Haitians who understand how to travel the road to escaping extreme poverty.

That road out of extreme poverty is all about true freedom, unity, and cooperative and fair economics. Note that Cubans whose government roughly and imperfectly follows these principles are rich compared to Haitians.

Violent opposition by forces of the dictator to progress in Haiti, unfortunately, should and probably will be to one extent or another met with force from those desperate for post-Quake progress. For once, "the other side," the side that has been largely shut out of Haiti for its entire post-colonial history (and this would be the right side) needs to win the war on the streets in Haiti. Let all those murdered by the Haitian government be honored post-mortem.

Post-Quake, you can actually imagine the right side winning for a change in Haiti.

But what about the US? Would the US kill roughly half a million people in response to a mass uprising against the Haitian dictator of the hour? I doubt it; there’s no oil, no gold, and nothing else of major value to the Americans in Haiti anymore, especially now after the Quake. And the international corporations have always been relatively reluctant to invest in Haiti; they will be even more reluctant now.

The Haitian dictatorship is even more useless and counterproductive now than it was before the Quake. It was already useless and counterproductive to everyone including even the corporations and the Americans. Only the dictator and his top cronies benefit from the dictatorship, so what is the point?

The above was in response to this article.
