This work highlights the Haitian sociopolitical economic organization, Lakous. It posits that the Lakou is a form of libertarian communism that must be vertically integrated at the nation-state level so that the people can experience total freedom from neoliberal capitalist relations of production and their deleterious effects, such as exploitation and climate change.

This work uses the theory of phenomenological structuralism to put forth the argument that neoliberal globalization represents a Durkheimian mechanicalization of the world via the Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism under American hegemony. It concludes that America attempts to “enframe” nation-states around the latter form of social integration via the systemicity of the dollar backed by the world’s commodities, which it privatizes. Amidst reactionary nationalism and fascism, which emerges to protect the citizenry of the world from the exploitative effects of the whole process, climate change threatens the American globalist project.
