The one where a reluctant scholar, gentleman, hero, and noble.. wanted nothing more then peace, however understood the sense of duty that if our fair state, The Commonwealth of Virginia should be invaded, he would not stand idly by as the rampaging war machine of the north desolated our homeland. I like to walk through paths of the old battlegrounds near my house in solemn remembrance for those who died protecting our women and children. Preventing the north from freely raping, pillaging, and plundering like the huns they were! The Union Generals could barely control the flow of battle let alone the aftermath once sheer numbers won the day. Deo Vindice!
Only white males possibly had more economic freedom. Now, everybody has a reasonable amount of economic and social freedom.
You yourself ^ is living proof how well Marxist propaganda has worked, and how it is engrained in our entire cultural establishment.
Outstanding! More of an opportunity to enlighten you on real history! This false preconcieved notion you have that all southern whites were all on the same page upsets the bowels. Did you know less then 2% of all whites in the south owned Slaves? That is because of the 12 million or so slaves existing at the time before the war were all held by the super rich aristocratic plantation owners. Most whites could not afford slaves, the housing and feeding and care for them was to much then they could afford. So much so that a lot of poor whites were in bondage as well working right beside african american and native american slaves. Oh? Guess that comes as a surprise. White bondage has existed since the 16th century in Colonial America. Oh and for THOUSANDS! of years in europe and the rest of the world... Hasn't anyone ever seen old movies and period drama's? Jesus christ people do you think servants were any different then slaves?... The suffering of Africans in the colonies was relatively minimal then to that of whites throughout the world and history for most of our existence. Where is our history month!? The middle class whites that did own slaves actually for the most part treated them with dignity. My family has been in Virginia since we first hopped off the boat from Scotland a long time ago. When we owned slaves we also had a permanent doctor on facility to ensure everyone was seen to amicably. The conditions for which they existed was not quite what the narrative public education makes it out be to capitalize on white guilt. And guess what, right next to our black slaves were white slaves, and native american slaves. Now it would be to easy to paint me as a supporter of slavery and a hope for a return to pre-bellum history. Hahah I will not allow you such satisfaction. Slavery is without a doubt one of the greatest evils man can commit. However to say slavery was targeted at minorities and a focus to oppress them is indeed false. Slavery was an option for survival in a time when you couldn't walk your ass down to the food mart to grab some Doritos and a hot dog to fill your need for processed sustenance. In fact, it was at large negative when the south lost and the poor slaves (I won't say blacks/african americans because it wasn't just them) were left as vagrants, and unable to do much of anything except fall back into the same old positions as farmhands, stewards, and handmaidens that they had been for many generations. In almost the same terms of indentured servitude. I have found that history, passed down by story telling and family records is quite much more accurate then what history the gubment's department of education wants you to believe. Oh and one more thing! Blacks actually owned white slaves for a time! When some came here in the 16th/17th century. A lot were freed, and some tried to get into the same business. Being the only thing they probably knew of value, indentured whites, natives, and other blacks! Holy Cow!
On the subject of slavery and such, it is a good point that the role of white people in ending slavery is often downplayed even though they catch heat for owning slaves. It's also a fact that blacks owned slaves as well, yet somehow they don't seem to catch blame for it as a race thanks to double standards. It's the same thing as the whole 60's civil rights dynamic, white people are portrayed as the evil enemies of freedom and justice and people completely ignore the role many whites as well as other races played in changing the status quo back then. Hell JFK got assassinated (arguably) over his stance on the issue. I really hate it when people act like there's any kind of moral debt to be paid there, because that's just a huge oversimplification and outright rewriting of history.
All interesting to read, sadly I can not contribute,, Wouldn't this type of society not need bankers? I can never see them letting anything close to this happen, now that they have some power. Oh, and most if not all races on planet earth were subjected to slavery, torture and whatever bad shit they did. it does sound good, abundance at part time hours. Too bad there too many humans.
Well a bank would not be necessary because all capital comes from the state. The application of workers own all means of production and benefit from it would replace the need to go out and take risks with loans and try and make money independently. So you don't have to worry. Again this utopia nonsense defies all logic.
Well then I guess your label is a real thing because your word fits my mind, heart and soul. You would know better than me, right. Mr Anonymous stranger who want the word Marxist to be relevant in 21st century really badly. Who needs Isis when you have commies who vote for Obama because they believe in a better matrix program than my blind battery program?
What a load of shit. Enlightenment? More like spin a confederate fairy tale. If you really believe that the average confederate soldier saw blacks as equals or some shit then you have to be a brainwashed zombie. Blacks were animals and everyone was brainwashed to be comfortable with the idea, EVEN THE SLAVES THEMSELVES. Say it with me, "if white people were slaves or second class citizens for 300 years the wouldn't be dumb enough to let modern blacks trivialize it OR EVEN MOLD THE SLAVE NARRATIVE (AKA UNDERGROUND RAILROAD IS NOT A BAD IDEA OR CONCEPT) Mars the god of war is fueled by threads like this. Or better yet an archangel or a saint roaming limbo.
Can you acknowledge that a vast number of white Irish were slaves for centuries and that this historical fact is regularly trivialized by both education systems and the general public?
Does Ireland focus on the American slave trade? Why would Americans focus on Irish slavery. Our history is Fredrick Douglas, not whoever helped end Irish slavery. What kind of game are you playing?
These slaves were brought to America buddy. In fact in much larger numbers than black slaves which went more to the Carribean than NA. It was much less expensive to buy an Irish slave since you didnt need to take him so far. An Estimated 30 percent of the population of Ireland was enslaved between 1600 and 1700. Point is, it wasnt just blacks being enslaved, and it wasnt just whites doing the enslaving. History is rarely so cut and dry.
Okay let's make this simple. Give me the number of Irish slaves in North America at it's highest point then do the same for black slaves in the USA.
On the subject of blacks selling blacks into slavery: A quote by the African King Ghezo, "The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and the glory of their wealth the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery." It's neo-Marxcism related to critical theory and the Frankfurt School. It is literally different than classical Marxism which you seem to be applying it to.
They use the term Marxism for a reason. Pretty basic guilty by association tactic. Just a strawman label to flame anyone who contradicts the "lets pretend the black slave narrative is a bad thing" strategy to keep the wage slaves in mental prison.
Why do numbers matter? To me its one big number, total slaves. Especially since we can only ever have estimates. Irish slaves in the Atlantic slave trade could be as high as half a million. African Barbary pirates enslaved as many as two million Europeans between the 16th and 19th centuries. Point being, it wasnt just blacks being enslaved en masse, and blacks were enslaving whites en masse during the same period. Its time we stopped viewing this as a racial atrocity and started viewing it as the human atrocity it really was. We all bleed red.
What are you talking about? This happened. This is part of history. Critical Theory came from the Frankfurt School, a socialist institution. It is the heart of cultural and social Marxism. The name is attached for a reason, Marxist attached it. I recommend looking at my second post with the time stamped video. When Marxism didn't come to the world as planned after the major wars they decided to come up with a plan to socialize us culturally via critical theory. Feminism is rooted in critical theory. Most of the 60's movements were rooted in critical theory. It has worked. Traditional American culture and the extended family, hell, the nuclear family is destroyed. I am not the first to say this in this thread. I've presented you with factual historical information, this isn't some buzzword to attack liberals but people that are useful idiots and political prostitutes, it's a very real, applied theory and it ties into the ideological subversion video I have posted on this matter also many times. If you can't even address this I'm going to assume you've got your head in the sand.
