Prochain maire de Toulouse ? Il aime beaucoup, apparemment, le concept d’expropriation. La ville rose devenue ville rouge va se muer en petite Union soviétique, le soleil du Sud-Ouest en plus. Que du bonheur.

During the Haitian Revolution, the French Jacobin revolutionary Leger-Felicité Sonthonax was expelled from Haiti by Toussaint Louveture for being too radical & extreme -He was initially sent to Haiti, along with 7000 troops, by the French Revolutionary government to protect French property & help defend the colony from British & Spanish incursion. -He joined the Haitian revolutionaries in their fight against French settlers & slave holders, whom he considered French Bourgeoisie. -He openly espoused Atheist ideas & began promoting Atheism to the Black population. The Haitian Revolutionary leaders, who were staunchly catholic, didn’t really appreciate that -He advocated for the abolition of race on the Island through interracial unions. - He began calling for the destruction of plantations in Haiti, the expropriation & redistribution of the wealth & property of all French settlers, but the Haitian revolutionary leaders believed they needed the plantations & wealth to build a functioning economy & stable society after independence. His radical ideas & tactics were usually at odds with the more pragmatic approach of the Haitian Revolutionary leaders. Toussaint Louverture appointed him as Haiti’s representative to the French Revolutionary Convention & placed him under armed guard on a ship back to France Ironically, after Toussaint Louveture was arrested & slavery was reinstated by Napoleon, Toussaint’s successor, Jean Jacques Dessalines, burnt down all the plantations, expelled all the French settlers, abolished “Whiteness” in Haiti & declared everyone Black
