Connection Between Chinese Slavery System and Haitian Slavery System
Haiti’s slavery, as an ugly product of capitalism, shows an ignorance of the right of black people as human beings and the arrogance of plantation owners to black people who are the victims of slavery trade. The ultimate goal of the slavery is to exploit others as property without any recognition of equality and humanity. Unlike China’s slavery which is short and immature in small scale, the capitalism and the thirst to maximize large scale of plantation profits foments the large scale of Haiti’s slavery to remain for a long period. All the helllike life of black people caused by slavery carries the foreshadowing of the revolt as the time goes and the hostility grows and finally leads to the Haiti Revolution.
From the perspective of economic development, it refers to the process of transition from one social system to another. Whether it is a historical advance or a historical retreat, the primary criterion for judging is whether the development of productive forces in the new society met the development of productive forces at that time. In fact, the formation of slavery has basically met the requirements of the further development of production relations of human society at that time, and also greatly contributed to the further development of production relations at that time. Therefore, the replacement of primitive society by slave society was an important progress in the development of human society, but it was also a very inhumane development.
