So what has secular Jew got to do with it? Virtual certainty that he runs in Liberal circles, and shares Liberal revulsion of the most evil institution ever created by mankind prior to the Nazis. Very very very anti-slavery. *THAT* is what "Secular Jew" has to do with it. .

Fogel was a communist for at least eight years. Maybe, like Eugene Genovese, it was capitalism that he hated most.

I do not think that. What I think is that Liberals are far more likely to "virtue signal" about slavery than are anyone else. Putting scare quotes around "owners" is a form of virtue signaling in my mind. It's an effort to make the reader aware that the writer does not agree with this characterization.

Some of the best conservatives are reformed socialists/communists. They sometimes wake up and realize how blind they have been.

Evan Sayet, Roger Simon and others comes to mind.
