Dessalines is the one who made Lemmy. Jean-Jacques Dessalines was a genocidal maniac. Modern tankies like him because some of the targets of his genocide were slave owners.
Context matters, but I’ll go ahead and be a moral absolutist here and say that there is no context that justifies cutting children’s heads off. Never heard of Robespierre, but if he was as bad as Dessalines, then I’d say he probably shouldn’t have a metro station named after him

Edit: manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml sent me a DM calling me a fascist for liking Rush lmfao
I live not far away from a metro station called “Robespierre”, and I don’t think you could call him a nice guy. Context matters.

The targets of his genocide were white French, regardless of economic class.
Some of them, yeah
Just like South African genocide…
