In Haiti, foreign influence and control over resources, land, and infrastructure  contributed greatly to instability, corruption, weakened governance, and poverty.
The 90 million francs that Haiti was forced to pay in 1825 is equivalent to approximately $4.65 billion USD in today's dollars, accounting for historical inflation. This enormous debt severely burdened Haiti's economy for over a century,

 In Ukraine, the increasing ownership of land and resources by Western corporations in the aftermath of the Russian invasion takes a donkey dump on the notion of Ukrainian economic sovereignty. Foreign western powers will surely  leverage thier economic ownership for their own strategic interests, compromising national sovereignty and long-term prosperity of Ukraine. It's a grand global lie that we were ever supporting the Donbas war to grant Ukraine prosperity and sovereignty. Ukraine is now the European Haiti.

Yes, people outside the country can own land inside the country. This is true for almost every country in the world.

When you own more than half of all of Ukraine's farmland...it's not just a business venture. That's a colony.

Thats what usually happens to small countries in free market.

Rich people from other countries first defeat their buisnesses by competition, then offer to buy them to prevent those buisnesses from collapsing.

Sure, selling your land to people from other countries is a bad choice, but its still a choice they made.

Not sure whats there to complain about. People have right to sell their land to rich people from other countries.

An uncomfortable truth nobody wants to talk about is that Haiti would be better off with colonialism. All these places are shitholes until colonizers get there, Christianity the people, start building schools and giving these people opportunities to make an honest living

Wait, western culture is superior because of a loftier religious goal transcending tribal greed?

It's a wild theory I know but yes I believe that society is structured better when it is a high trust society that aspires to a higher purpose.
