I was literally just wondering if the protests in Paris were including any sorts of demands to pay Haiti back for the "reparations" Haiti was forced to pay TO the slavers.

Back in the 80s there were a fair amount of movements in the US claiming to be inspired by Solidarity.

True, but at the same time I wouldn’t discount the imperial/hegemonic position of the US in the global order—antiracist protests outside the US are responding to local conditions while at the same time are an expression of identification with what happens in the US.

Both on the left and the right this happens constantly. Fringe groups jump on every trend. I remember Trotskyists in Norway couped the French ATTAC back when I was in high school. Right-wing fad movements are too numerous to count: Pegida, EDL, PVL etc.

If they think there's the slightest chance some fad they heard of is the big one which will bring about the revolution/the great race war, they jump on it. They don't give a damn if it comes from America or anywhere else.

Could we say it's just an extension of the broader Enlightenment philosophy being international? Both the American and French revolutions were swept up in it too.
