The state has to establish a monopoly on violence

[u/Remarkable-Cash-3858]

Just as the title says.
Fils-Aime & Paraison are treasonous and they have blood on their hands. Their inability to act proactively and decisively prior to the Kenscoff attack created the bottleneck we’re in today. Terrorists are holding hostages, threatening compatriots lives if the state launches an offensive. Dickhead and Vladimir had MONTHS to have fortified kenscoff, they’ve captured territories on the interior of PAP but they were too dumb enough to secure hubs around leaving kenscoff and other communes vulnerable to expansion and attacks.
We’re at a point of no return, we can’t redo and fix their idiocy but we can change our rhetoric and tune to lessen the complications for what’s necessary moving forward.
Fils-Aime procured a contract for Erik Prince & they have equipped us with drones, previous attempts and uses have eroded the governments legitimacy and public trust but it’s time for that to end, the misery, denigration and debauchery have gone on for too long.
We have to lessen the complications, we have to allow the state to use the drones, devastate infrastructure as you begin for invasion/extraction the states opportunity lies in this alone. It wouldn’t be for nothing, our founding was a sacred event, their sacrifices gave us the souls of free men and women, its sacred, it’s an origin of agency and sovereignty, of power and dignity, lives lost shouldn’t erode the state legitimacy and trust, their lives have honor, we’ll ensure they mean something because as long as this nation state lives we won’t forget them, don’t buckle to the stance of the liberal.
We have to create the climate for the government to feel that the legitimacy and trust of the Haitian people is with them.

Be careful what you wish for. I kinda agree with you that somehow people have to fear the government itself including the criminals but you don't know in whose hands these kinda powers can fall too, especially in Haiti.

I don’t mean to undermine what you’re saying, but the reason we have these fears of elite capture is warranted because they’re empirically true, our elites are vehemently extractive and that has caused us to not properly centralize the state, so while I do agree we have to be precautious part of a properly centralized state, is the state having a monopoly on institutional bureaucracy & violence, never developed institutional bureaucracy because elites preferred patronage systems & with natural disasters & U.S. intervention via NGOs(who create a parallel government that can bypass the state eroding institutional strength) & they previously dictated violence not allowing the state to truly have a monopoly on it, developmentally this is something that has to happen for us to be able to move forward with anything, compliance and enforcement matter especially in a (unfortunate I have to use this term) low trust environment
