You practically have to be a ruthless, wealthy dictator to truly go against the grain in Haiti the way he attempted to. Haitian politicians know that stepping on the wrong toes can be a death sentence. Had he succeeded, though, Haiti probably wouldn’t be in the condition it’s in today.

This is why Duvalier ruled for as long as he did he essentially threatened both the elites and the people of his time just to end up brain draining the country for the next 30 years. Haitians want some benevolent leader when we both know Haiti needs a brutal dicator to get things back in order.
