Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here?

You’re right, I misremembered it. However there have been calls for France to repay the reparations which it still has not done, and Aristide was overthrown in a foreign-backed coup after making that call.

Yes. All of that money should be returned, plus interest and penalties, and THEN reparations needs to be paid and that’s JUST France. The US stole immense wealth from Haiti and needs to return it, with interest and penalties as well.
