It's convenient when people blame slavery on capitalism; that makes it clear that they do not grasp the concept of a free market, one of the cornerstones of capitalism. Just another cheap strawman in a sea of them.
@AlexanderKingsbury Capitalism requires slavery. And slavery is just the kind of thing that a mind amenable to Capitalism prefers as a solution to nearly any problem.
You’re right. It’s unfair to say that one comes from the other. They are siblings and they are inseparable.
Their parent is whiteness. And whiteness is something we can do without. That isn’t a suggestion to eliminate those of European descent. Race was only invented so that “white” could be a thing.
Let’s eliminate all three.
"Capitalism requires slavery."
You're either a liar or you fail to grasp the actual meaning of one or more of those words.
And it turns out you go back and totally alter your posts without saying that you have done so or why, adding a bunch of other whatnot. So you cannot even be honest about the record of what you've said.
Wish I was disappointed, but I certainly never expected honesty. Good day.
