Roderick Paxton Hayes-Marshall (born November 17, 1909 – August 30, 2006) is a Melanesian politician, soldier, engineer, and dirigist, who served in the Provisional Convention of Melanesia beginning in 1958. Advocating the ideals of the Dirigist Party of Melanesia, Hayes-Marshall is regarded as the father of modern dirigism as it appears today. However, Hayes-Marshall remains a highly controversial figure for his authoritarian views and uncompromising stance on law and justice, even being quoted as saying "the law has no mercy" during the 1958 Melanesian provisional elections. His harsh views and fiery speeches won him many supporters for the dirigist cause, but alienated him from many of his political allies as a direct result.

abstract
  • Roderick Paxton Hayes-Marshall (born November 17, 1909 – August 30, 2006) is a Melanesian politician, soldier, engineer, and dirigist, who served in the Provisional Convention of Melanesia beginning in 1958. Advocating the ideals of the Dirigist Party of Melanesia, Hayes-Marshall is regarded as the father of modern dirigism as it appears today. However, Hayes-Marshall remains a highly controversial figure for his authoritarian views and uncompromising stance on law and justice, even being quoted as saying "the law has no mercy" during the 1958 Melanesian provisional elections. His harsh views and fiery speeches won him many supporters for the dirigist cause, but alienated him from many of his political allies as a direct result. Hayes-Marshall migrated to New Guinea in the immediate aftermath of World War II, seeking to establish a self-sufficient dirigist community in the jungles of the island, using his military pension from his service as a United States Army colonel. He led several thousand members of the African American community of the United States in building the city of Vigil in New Guinea which would serve as both an example of dirigist planning and society, as well as a sign of black power and the capabilities of the black population in the world. Hayes-Marshall work would ultimately see him tackling racial economic inequality, as he sought to expand the influence of the expanding black African population on the island.
