Never have revolutionary conditions in Haiti been so favorable.

[...] To make matters worse, there is a good chance that Guy Philippe, the former “rebel” leader and senator-elect who just spent seven years in U.S. jails, will finally arrive in Port-au-Prince this week, perhaps as early as Jan. 31. Since his repatriation to Haiti in November, Philippe has been calling for revolution, organizing a militia, exhorting Haitians in rallies around the country and on social media platforms to rise up against “the system” and oust Ariel Henry, and to fight against “imperialism” and the MSS’s deployment. In response, a growing number of demonstrations, strikes, barricades, and civil disobedience actions have gripped Haiti.
Let's see if he maintains his public positions so far regarding the interference of foreign embassies.
Seems everybody is getting involved, and Kenyan police have been delayed. Even if it doesn't end up being a socialist revolution, this is still great news.
It can be a democratic revolution, at least, which would still progress the proletarian movement of Haiti.
A democratic movement akin to, say, New Democracy or the civil rights struggle in the USA can really put a country on the path of socialism, I believe.
