    This almost feels like elaborate satire.

    Does Dessalines actually believe what he says? Or is this some sort of “end justifies the means” attempt at “counter-propganada”? I am genuinely curious what the story is here.

      the point is to make communists look extreme, crazy, scary, and authoritarian… that way someone mildly interested will go check out hexagonal and say “fuuuuck that communist shit!”.

          Oh, well, actually, i take back what I said.

          They don’t legitimately believe in what they say, rather, they’re in too deep to admit fault.
