And no - slavery was not a “gift” of white people, and it is not a case that “they started it”.

Slavery is a by-product of pre-industrial agriculture. All early agricultural societies had it. The Incas and Mayans had it. The Chinese had it. India had it. What is the caste system, but a system ensuring that the people who did the work continued to do the work, with no hope of changing their condition?

Indeed, as well as a justification that - because of sins in past lives - they DESERVE a life of ignorance and toil and the revulsion of their ‘betters’.

One of the funniest things I heard recently was when a leftist relative of mine said that...

“No, Obamacare is not socialism - as a compact between government and industry mandating that you MUST purchase a product of that industry - it is more correctly FASCISM.”

Yup. Marxism, fascism, communism, socialism, statism all are totalitarianism and the exact opposite of freedom. They must enslave the people. And, of course, it always fail. All God’s people just want to be free.

Freedom is the natural state of man - one which he strives for. Thus only a Republic that recognizes the natural rights of man will be free from the incessant strife that comes from keeping human beings in bondage.
