Okay, so this is actually really interesting. It gets into how in the US, when we talk about slavery, we are specifically talking about chattel slavery as it was practiced in the Americas. And there’s actually a pretty strong argument that American chattel slavery is, if not unique in world history, it is more aberrant than other force labor systems throughout world history.
Absolutely mass incarceration, and the force labor system that goes along with it are incredibly distinct from American style chattel slavery, but this is because they’re arguably more in line with what slavery, distinct from chattel slavery, ‘usually’ meant. Basing a forced labor system off of race is more or less a modern phenomenon . There’s some nuance, but slave codes basically make up the core of available written records on the development of race as a cultural concept. [big ol’ FOR THE WEST label here]

That was the fucking point of all this, right ? Like ‘how dare the poors slip through some material change in conditions through gov power’. ‘We’ll show them’ and then they did all of this
you are right and I invite you to say it louder.
What is the point of the private property system?
That’s great. I’m really glad to hear it. It’s not that they don’t exist. It’s that they are subject to violence under the law.
this is a bad faith reading of a basic ass fucking tenant of socialist theory. democrats, party of the educated, are feigning ignorance to try and silence dissent.
that’s kind of my take on the situation, yeah.
edit: you know, it would just be rude,. to deny the president, . who is also your boss. edit2: can you imagine? ‘we couldnt get anyone from your community so we’re canceling the event, but we’ll still do it 8D for youu’. Like whooah wooah woah il put good money that this sequence of events is not what those staffers signed up for.
To head it off: Yes, there was still “an event” at the white house to observe the holiday. Attended exclusively by white house staff. So I assume that means muslim employees of the president attended “the event”.
frfr its kind of staying in because it quadruples engagement. i like that tiktok headcannon
booo
counterpoint, its not either or. this is a false dichotomy the democrats created and maintain as a rhetorical device to silence dissent. i will never vote for joe biden. ill vote for…, a couple of democrats down ballot. and that is the extent of my interaction with the legitimate systems of democracy in the US. if you dont live in a swing state, the presidential race is, effectively, not real for you. this is a basic tenant of “american electoral politics” , or as I like to call it, a tenant of US Authoritarianism
