Slavery hasn’t ended:

“Modern slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry with just the forced labor aspect generating US $150 billion each year.[86] The Global Slavery Index (2018) estimated that roughly 40.3 million individuals are currently caught in modern slavery, with 71% of those being female, and 1 in 4 being children.”

We are all slaves to AMERICAN MONEY! No race required. Get a job and give up your true talents, interests, and who you are meant to be. Gotta make that almighty dollar, or else! And they wonder why there’s millions (a very large part of our population) of homeless everywhere nowadays. Guess the 21st century can’t have people being real and true. But after three and a half DECADES of zero progress in this country, we are back to being slaves (no racial war there). HELLO!!!!! There’s your “woke” for ya

“Free the slaves to enslave the free.” Abraham Lincoln was a lying, murderous, racist white supremacist piece of shit. He was a gold digger who married into a slave owning family, didn’t do shit about it. He represented slave owners to have their runaway slaves returned as “seasonal property”. He strongly enforced fugitive slave laws. In addition to native massacre, his mission as President was to deport all blacks. Where were they being deported, under the pretense of freedom? Slave plantations in Africa and South America. And so much more dirt on that disgustingly misrepresented person. The “woke” kids will spread the truth as they come of age, but every child in school, college and beyond is still being brainwashed about history’s very dirty not-so-secret. His administration is as much a foundation of what’s referred to as “systemic racism” as anything “confederate”.

I bring this up after coincidently reading our fake political representative Jared Huffman (turd burger) referring to President Trump as “the Anti-Lincoln”. That’s actually compliment.

You can find plenty of information if you choose to look for it. What’s very amazing to me is “woke folk” who will instantly start burping Lincoln apologist when confronted with the truth about him. After denial passes, you’ll understand the bigger lie we’ve all been force fed to believe. I’m very interested to hear Lorna Bryant discuss the issue, as I know she’s rock solid about her views. How much of the truth about Abraham Lincoln does she know, and is her response that of an apologist?

A 2000 ‘Intelligence Report’ by the Southern Poverty Law Center, categorized the Mises Institute as Neo-Confederate, “devoted to a radical libertarian view of government and economics.”

Radical.

You have to understand we’re living under the jurisdiction of “the winners” of the civil war. That includes especially control of historical education. Counter culture of any kind is subverted. Nothing changes about the facts regarding Abraham Lincoln. He was a murderous, racist white supremacist bent on establishing and maintaining a strict class divide among white people in this country. All people of color were, in his words “mongrels”, “savages” and “niggers”. They were to be abolished from the land altogether.

Sure, Ludwig von Mises was closet white-supremacist to spite his Jewish heritage.

The SPLC has shown their problems with bias.

Understanding free market capitalism and liberty is antithesis to “neo-confederacy “.

Judah Benjamin certainly had no problem with the Confederacy. The South was friendlier to Jews than was the North.

Slavery fits with anarcho-capitalism quite well. It’s the ultimate expressions of applying market capitalism to humans without property of their own.

Nope, slavery does not fit into free market capitalism at all. Actual free markets require open contract in exchange for goods and services. We are all sovereign unto ourselves. If you want to sell yourself into slavery by contract that is at the will of the individual agreeing to the contract. Short of that slavery requires theft of an individual’s sovereignty.

I don’t know the old south’s historic disposition towards Jews, but neo-confederacy certainly implies anything but “old” south.

I don’t know anything at all about Judah Benjamin. Maybe what you’re describing is more commonly called indentured servitude. The norm in this country. The slaves were freed, to enslave the free. To this day, more people are being crammed into less space with less freedom to travel (and far more restrictions on how to travel). “Disposable income” is only a concept. Money is a fabrication, its wealth is a figment.

“Slave plantations in Africa and South America.” slave trading existed long before there was a USA almost since the beginning of recorded history.

That Lorna Bryant refers to Michal Brown being “murdered” by officer Darren Wilson, as he was charging at Wilson after assaulting him and trying to get his gun, says all we need to know about Bryant. “Hands up, don’t shoot!” was a brazen, cynical, and damaging lie.

Another awful degradation of vocabulary = “woke”
It’s “awakened” although we alllllllllllllll “get” the reference, it still makes people sound like dumb-asses. If you want to be taken seriously, use “culturally appropriate”(lol) vocabulary. It’s been around for a very long time. Unless trends and catchy phrasing is more important to you than the point you are trying to make. If you are unable to use correct vocabulary, don’t be surprised when you are perceived as a big-ass joke. So sorry, you just sound like an idiot…..”I’m sooooo woke right now”. (Hmmmmmm, doesn’t sound right) Think about it people!!!!!
