Main:
Of particular interest is the idea that nations entire can be cursed by the actions of a a few many years ago. This is of course fundamental (sorry) to Robertson’s world-view, it being the basis of Original Sin, the Covenant of Israel (without even the slightly more credible-making midrash saying that all future Israelite souls were there, and agreed), and the ignominy due Israel due to one crowd in Jerusalem supposedly saying, ‘Let this blood be on our heads,’ awhile back.

Since one of the good points of capitalist ideology (at least compared to what came before) is the idea that your ancestors’ deeds should not hold you back (beyond the ‘natural’ inequities induced by the State-backed transfer of assets through gift or inheritance), I’d say that there could easily be a lot of American, conservative, Christians who might agree with:
1.) The lwa are at least demons, and Bondye the Devil.
2.) Those who made the pact were cursed by it.
3.) This can’t be blamed for what’s happening now.
Even as (I would guess) most of those reading this page would (like me, and ALL right-thinking people i.m.arrogant.o.) find both fundamentalist Christianity and far-right Capitalist ideology…uhhh…’at least somewhat in error’…, it is important that we remember that they are not in lock-step—-another example: I’d dare say that most executives and managers are in favour of abortion rights, as least to the extent that it makes the labour of their female employees more dependable, and cheaper (at least as long as they’re explicitly forbidden firing them for getting pregnant).

Well of course Aristide wasn’t universally popular anymore by the time the coup overthrew him.

Based on my experiences in Haiti, Aristide’s habit of using the national police and chimères (gangs) against his perceived political enemies was far more responsible for his unpopularity than were his policies. He tried to use them to shut down the local organization I worked with because it was becoming too popular with the locals; the only reason it survived is because the locals fought back.

As far as I’m concerned, this lingering support for Aristide among my liberal compatriots is a major blind spot. I’ve seen the useless plazas he built to aggrandize himself, in towns where the money could have been used to provide clean water. I’ve met people who suffered at the hands of his gangs, and I’ve heard stories of his corruption from people in a position to know. I think the only argument in favor of keeping him in power was that he was indeed elected; but Haiti is a shining example of how a dysfunctional society precludes a working democracy. (In Haiti hardly anyone bothers to vote, and those who do are freely bought with money and food, or coerced with violence.)
