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.
