Papa Doc Part 3: Vampire of the Caribbean
Real Dictators
The Immaterial Being of Jean-Claude Duvalier
The whole of Duvalierism was about the establishment of terror, and it was a terror that was inside people's heads as well as on the states. Papadock wrecked an aspirational country and unleashed a nightmare. His crimes haunt Haiti to this day. I think Haiti was permanently scarred and disfigured by Duvalier. He blighted a whole generation. He chased out the brightest and the best. He victimized. He plundered. What money was given in terms of aid was siphoned off and pocketed. The Duvalier dynasty will continue for a long time yet. Eventually, baby-dock will be all with throne, but not for another 15 years
