<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">When
the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti a little over a week ago, a lot more than
buildings and infrastructure collapsed. While the presidential palace crumbled,
so did the state infrastructure. In a country as desperately poor as Haiti, and
with such revolutionary traditions, first and foremost in importance in this
state infrastructure are the forces of repression. These forces – in the form of
the police – disappeared entirely from the streets of Port-au-Prince after the
earthquake. For US capitalism, this was a terrifying situation.

</SPAN><B>US “Asserting Authority”</B></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The
Obama administration had to act fast. In slightly over a week, it is expected
that some 10,000 US troops will have arrived there. Airlifted in with them will
be their trucks, fuel, rations, water, and arms. As the <I>Wall St. Journal</I>
reported (1/15/10), “Hillary Clinton told Fox News that a chief aim of the US
effort was to ‘assert authority’ and to ‘reinstate the government’ in
Haiti.”</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN lang=EN>In
this, the US regime is in full accord with the advice of the arch-conservative
Heritage Foundation, which advised, </SPAN><I>“<SPAN style="COLOR: black">We
should rapidly deploy sufficient US military and civilian forces to help
Haitians restore order in the capital of Port-au-Prince and in surrounding
areas.” </SPAN></I><SPAN style="COLOR: black">They cannot say it openly, but
what they mean is that the state authority, first and foremost the forces of
repression, must be restored immediately.</SPAN><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">This
takes priority over providing food, water and medical supplies. Doctors Without
Borders, for instance, has complained that five of its planes were refused
landing permission at Port-au-Prince and had to divert to Santo Domingo. This
included a plane with an entire portable hospital. Benoit Leduc of this doctors’
group said that “hundreds of lives” were lost as a result. Mexican authorities
have complained that its planes, also carrying medical equipment and food, were
refused landing rights. Venezuela and Cuba haven’t even bothered trying to send
planes to Port-au-Prince, knowing that the US military would not allow them to
land under any circumstances; they just sent their planes to Santo Domingo
also.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

</SPAN><B>US Media Distortions</B></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Over
the years, the US corporate-controlle<WBR>d mass media has pictured impoverished
Haiti as being violent and nearly ungovernable. They have built up this racist
image in order to obscure the extreme measures that imperialism took to repress
the self-liberated former slaves of Haiti. These steps included the extortion of
some $23 billion (in today’s dollars) by France and the near-20 year occupation
of Haiti by US Marines (starting in 1915). Now, they are ratcheting up the
propaganda, as images of chaotic and violent crowds fill the
media.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Is
the emphasis on landing troops and military equipment
necessary?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Naturally,
after this extended delay, some desperate people will resort to violence, but
the overall situation is remarkably different. As al-Jazeera (</FONT><A
href="http://www.english.aljazeera.net/"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>www.english.<WBR>aljazeera.<WBR>net</FONT></A><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>) reports: “W</FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="COLOR: black">hile there were reports of
isolated incidents of violence, for the most part, there was an ‘organized calm’
in the capital.” Even US Lieutenant-General Ken Keen had to admit to al Jazeera
that “The level of violence that we see now is below the pre-earthquake levels.”
And the <I>Wall St. Journal</I>, written more to keep the heads of corporate
America informed than for propaganda purposes, reported (1/19/10), “</SPAN><SPAN
lang=EN>US</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN> officials have blamed security concerns for
holding up providing relief. Yet a team of Cuban doctors were seen Monday
treating hundreds of patients without a gun or soldier in
sight.”</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Dr. Evan Lyon of Partners in Health commented to
DemocracyNow.<WBR>org that</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">“There are no security issues…. I’m staying at a friend’s
house in Port-au-Prince. We’re working… as volunteers…. We’ve been circulating
throughout the city until 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning every night, evacuating
patients, moving materials. There’s no UN guards. There’s no US military
presence. There’s no Haitian police presence. And there’s also no violence.
There is no insecurity.”<SPAN> </SPAN>By the end of this week, though,
there will be plenty of US and UN soldiers on the streets, but clearly their
presence is not needed to maintain the rescue efforts. They are there to
reinforce the capitalist state authority.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The
result is that Port-au-Prince is becoming like a fortress. Sebastien Walker
reports to DemocracyNow that where “the United States has taken control(,) it
looks more like the Green (militarized) Zone in Baghdad than a center for aid
distribution.” A Haitian “man in the street” commented to DemocracyNow that,
“These weapons they bring, they are instruments of death. We don’t want them. We
don’t need them. We are a traumatized people. What we want from the
international community is technical help—action, not
words.”</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

</SPAN><B>US Capitalism Terrified</B></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">This
is the unreported reality, and a terrifying one it was to US capitalism. Here
you had a country with a long history of struggle. It was not so long ago (2005)
that the US helped engineer a coup that ousted a popular leftist president,
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who is now in exile in South Africa. This president had
launched a literacy program, funded the building of schools and medical
facilities and sharply raised the minimum wage. This last was a real crime since
under the leadership of ex-US president Bill Clinton and UN Secretary-General
Ban Ki-Moon, the strategy has been to develop Haiti as a source of ultra-cheap
labor. Aristide also launched a campaign to recover the $23 billion that France
had extorted from it back in 1825. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Even
more dangerous was the threat of a Haitian working class mobilizing on its own.
The partial example of the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City should be recalled.
There, when the state forces failed utterly to provide help, neighborhood
committees self-organized and performed their own rescue operations. These
committees then became the basis of a community movement that opposed the
right-wing national government. The difference with Haiti is that in Mexico the
state apparatus did not collapse almost entirely; in Haiti it did. Therefore, in
Haiti the danger to capitalism was even greater.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">This
does not mean that capitalism would have been overthrown overnight, but the
danger of this developing over a fairly short time was real. And in any case,
they had Aristide waiting in the wings. To have him return to Haiti would
compound the problem US capitalism faces throughout Latin America, where a
populist movement has put hostile regimes in power in a series of countries. On
top of that, US capitalism’s most threatening rival, Chinese capitalism, is
making increasing inroads in the region. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Naturally, capitalism cannot allow a state of continual
chaos and utter breakdown such as exists in Haiti now. They need a certain
amount of stability, a somewhat functioning infrastructure, plus a working class
that is not absolutely starving. US capitalism would also be utterly
discredited, both at home and abroad, if they stood by, New Orleans-style, and
did nothing. Finally, there is the consideration of regimes such as those in
Venezuela and Cuba further increasing their influence. Therefore, some rescue
and aid measures have to be taken.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

</SPAN><B>The Future</B></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The
situation in Haiti bears being closely watched. From afar, it is impossible to
tell to what degree the working class is or will organize to assert its class
interests in the immediate future. If they do so, clashes with the US and UN
troops are likely.<SPAN> </SPAN>However, it must be realized that the US
military command is in a risky situation. Many of their troops are black,
meaning they will tend to have a sympathy with the Haitian people. Maybe even
more important, the troops, including National Guards from Pennsylvania and
Florida, are headed for or are already in Haiti.<SPAN> </SPAN>Especially
these National Guard troops would be open to considering the needs of their
class brothers and sisters in Haiti. A campaign of fraternization with these –
as well as the UN troops – would go a long way towards undermining their
intended role of repression. (It should be noted that it is extremely unlikely
that the Obama administration intends any long-term military occupation of
Haiti.)</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">Several large US unions are now mobilizing to send aid to
Haiti. This is being done so far under the control of the established union
officialdom. This establishment has a long history of acting as the labor face
for the US State Department and even the CIA. They have no intention of breaking
with this criminal tradition in this instance. However, in the United States,
there are many thousands of Haitian members of these unions. Through these and
other active members of the unions, independent teams of US workers could be
sent to Haiti. They could be sent both to bring aid as well as to organize
direct links between the Haitian workers’ movement and organizations and that in
the United States.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
