His black Caribbean wife, Catherine (Kate), helped to write his gallows speech in which he proclaimed that he was a friend to the poor and oppressed. He expressed trust that \"the principles of freedom, of humanity, and of justice will triumph over falsehood, tyranny, and delusion.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And yet the world turned. From the connected events of the American, French, Haitian, and failed Irish Revolutions, to the Anthropocene's birth amidst enclosures, war-making global capitalism, slave labor plantations, and factory machine production, \u003ci\u003eRed Round Globe Hot Burning\u003c\/i\u003e throws readers into \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e pivotal moment of the last two millennia.
