I'm sure you've encountered this, where people just kind of assume, oh, well, the anarchists lost, so that means they're destined to lose.

They lost that particular fight, that doesn't mean the war is necessarily lost. And additionally, states have lost too.

States, state projects have lost, continue to lose. You know, the capitalist project, capitalist businesses, they lose, they fail. That doesn't mean that the project is destined to lose or destined to fail. It just means that particular iteration or that particular attempt was not able to succeed in all its ambitions.

Yeah, that too. Because the standards of failure and success... often dictated by the standpoint of the status quo yes very much so yeah it's kind of like how the Haitian revolution is spoken of as the only successful slave revolt or one of the only successful slave revolts and the standard for success in that case is that they were able to establish an independent state

Whereas other slave revolts in other parts of the world, including within the Caribbean, would have taken different paths. The Maroons, for example, their former revolt was a withdrawal from the system that surrounded them, creating a pocket of resistance, isolating themselves. Same thing in Brazil.

We had the Quilombos, the settlements that extracted themselves from the surrounding oppressive structure and tried to survive to the extent that they could. Not all of them lasted. But nothing lasts forever, you know? Countries rise and fall.

And so I think if we limit ourselves to just the example of Haiti, particularly in the context of success in a slave revolution, I think we miss out on a lot of those other examples and opportunities for inspiration and guidance.

Yeah, just the psychological experience in itself, it cannot be under-anesthetized or underrated. Even if it's on that small scale of the individual, that's still valuable.
