If C has finite colimits and a monad T preserves reflexive coequalizers, its Eilenberg-Moore category has finite colimits. The forgetful functor creates reflexive coequalizers preserved by T. The coproduct presentation for monad algebras yields binary coproducts, and F0 is initial. Any pair a,b:X⇉Y can then be replaced by the reflexive pair [a,1],[b,1]:X+Y⇉Y, with identical coequalizers. Finite coproducts and coequalizers give all finite colimits.
