The New Slavery
Poly Tics . Social StudiesIt was only commerce after all. That black Africans sold other black Africans who resold them to white and black slave traders was capitalism in action. The slave commodity increased in value each time slaves were traded or sold like sports trading cards. But slaves had greater vale, that is of course unless you had a Giannis Antetokounmpo 2013-14 National Treasures Logoman Patch Auto valued at $1,857,300 or a 1951 Bowman Willie Mays which sold for $93,412.50. These were famous sports stars that were descended from black Africans who were paid substantially less than the value of the sports cards that carried their name, picture, and statistics.
Black slaves that survived survived any initial engagements or roundups proved their fitness and value. The initial investment in human capital and assets were relatively inexpensive relative to the profits generated through further trading or use of cheap or free labour to create wealth.
The history of slavery began in remote villages of deepest darkest Africa during constant tribal wars waged predominantly by tribes whose ideology required human slaves but the narrative and history started to be told conveniently at the point of the ports and trading hubs of the African continent. The horrors and inhumanity began at capture, to be sure, but worsened at the lading of the human cargo and the passage to the Americas and other exotic destinations. Much of the cargo didn’t survive. Many ships sank. The traders had insurance against loss of ship and cargo. No biggie. Many ships offloaded their cargo in open water to keep from sinking. There was no arriving safely either. The misery and deprivation continued for generations. American Democrats and other Liberals were prominent and prosperous slave traders and owners. Democrats and Liberals fought emancipation to the bitter end. The American Civil War was presumably fought to grant the rights of slaves to be free. A deranged Democrat, actor and drooling Confederate racist name John Wilkes Booth murdered the architect of the emancipation. The architect was named Abraham Lincoln.
Democrats and Liberals fought emancipation to the bitter end. The American Civil War was presumably fought to grant the right for slaves to live as free people. In total the war left between 620,000 and 750,000 soldiers dead, along with an undetermined number of civilian casualties.
How free are they now?
How free is anybody really?
Formed in 1865 as a ‘secret lodge’ by former Confederates in Pulaski, Tennessee, the Invisible Empire or Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has been and remains committed to white supremacy in America.
Klansmen, beside other die hard groups, violently resisted Reconstruction. Still defending the South, they fought Union Army occupation, Republican governments, and ‘black’ freedom. They took an oath to defend Christianity, the Constitution, and the white race, especially their women’s purity. Modern day Democrats and Liberals have now declared Christianity and The Constitution to be racist if only to legitimize their goal to keep oppressing blacks. Of course this alienates black Christians that believe that the American Constitution is a valuable document.
Freedom is on the block…again.
Slavery is the new freedom.
There is a fairly recent trend of immigrant slavery in the hospitality industry. Anyone that used to, or is still able to travel and stay at hotels and motels at the $50 to $200 range has probably made note that most of the employees are of a visible minority and are usually from the South Asian continent, and usually very recently. During the past 30 years, immigrants from the same region of India – most with the same last name – have come to own more than 50 percent of the North American continent’s economy motels and up to 40 percent of the total lodging market, ‘experts’ estimate. The Patel Mafia is a real thing. The majority of the holdings are ramshackle and poorly run and maintained, relying on the country ingenuity and thrift of uncles and cousins that were ‘brought over’ to live and work in a prosperous and free country. People that emigrate from South Korea are also subject to the motel hell slavery industry. They become citizens of the host country, grateful to escape the poverty and lack of freedoms in South Korea, super grateful not to have been born to die in North Korea only to be enslaved 24/7 at a motel in the Canadian hinterland. At least they have a roof over their heads.
Enjoy your stay!
Please tell us how we did.
Take the survey.
Fast food ‘restaurants’ have become the garbage feeding troughs of the masses. These ever hulking masses have become too lazy and fat to hunt, gather, or cook their own food. They are even too lazy and fat to get out of their vehicles to walk in, order, and shovel down their supersized value meal deal packages. Drive though dining is as huge as the beasts that drive through. This includes the Starbucks and Tim Horton’s addicts that bitch about $2.00/litre for gas but spend 10 to 20 minutes, idling in a drive through to buy a $3.00 or a $6.00 coffee.
A review of Unfree Labour? : Struggles of Migrant and Immigrant Workers in Canada
Editors: Aziz Choudry and Adrian A. Smith
“Unfree Labour systematically shows how rapacious capitalists and the state thrive and secure profits through the systematic subordination of women, nonwhite, and migrant laborers. The chapters document that exploitation, so reminiscent of feudalism and early capitalism are ever-present in our modern capitalist system in the West. The chapters in this book provide chilling accounts of the constrained lives of domestics, agricultural laborers, and the growth of temporary foreign workers, so dependent on removing and denying rights that were achieved over the past two centuries. Choudry and Smith have assembled a comprehensive and outstanding book that is essential for all scholars of the labor movement.”
—Immanuel Ness, editor of New Forms of Worker Organization: The Syndicalist and Autonomist Restoration of Class Struggle Unionism
From Howard :
Fast food slaves are usually sponsored by families and restaurant owners that are already legal immigrants in a host country. They are also aided by immigration specialists, also known as ‘brokers’ or ‘consultants’ that profit from the indenture of immigrants. These new citizen groups are typically hard working and seek to gain wealth and status that would not be possible in their countries of origin. While they struggle to establish themselves and learn the language they are vulnerable to abuse and misdirection and usually fall into a parallel society and culture within the one that has welcomed them. This parallel society often abuses and victimizes their ‘foreign workers’ by paying them sub par wages for long hours which really amounts to a ‘softer’, ‘kinder’ slavery. Sometimes these slaves are required to live in their place of indenture. Slave wages rarely cover the high cost of living. At least they enjoy subsidized housing and discounted toxic food.
Foreign workers found sleeping in Burger King basement, Alberta health agency says
The Alberta Health Services order, dated Jan. 10, said the inspection found evidence of ‘sleeping/living accommodations for foreign workers’ Author of the article: J.W. Schnarr, Lethbridge Herald, The Canadian Press Publishing date: Jan 17, 2018 • January 18, 2018
Political correctness is an ideology that wishes to suppress the stereotypes that corporations, governments, and the elite economic drivers have propagated. The ‘convenience’ store is a small retail business that stocks a range of everyday items such as coffee, groceries, tainted and outdated snack foods, confectionery, soft drinks, ice creams, tobacco products, lottery tickets, over-the-counter drugs, toiletries, newspapers, beer, wine, and liquor, and magazines, all at 62% above non-C-store prices. They also offer prepared or ‘ready to eat’ foods such as hot dogs, pizza, chicken nuggets, samosas, and rotisserie chubs or hamsters. ‘C-stores’ have tried to focus on better salads, sandwiches and other products that look more appealing but are nonetheless most likely prepared by low wage slaves off premises in unsanitary assembly lines. These C-stores are then marketed as destinations for fresh and healthy alternatives to load up on while or after you fuel your car. Self service is great but you’ll have to go into the store anyway to get the receipt that you couldn’t get because the receipt printer ran out of paper forever. Buy some Red Bull and Doritos while your in there. Catch something from the filthy restrooms. The foreign born owners/slaves and and slave employees of these stores are required to work at least 20/7 and are often held up or robbed or assaulted or killed by domestic born criminals that have been oppressed by their domestic masters and blame the foreign born for their misery.
No more ‘squishee’.
No more Apu.
There are so many other enslaved people all over the world who are being sold to banks, mega corporations, garment manufacturing hells, Chinese shoeless child cheap goods manufacturing mills, slaughterhouses, pimps, Indian ship breaking yards, and American gangster politicians. The slaves are no longer chained and are told that they are free and protected under various charters and constitutions. Some, most, sell themselves into slavery.
Meanwhile, back at the drive-thru and the penitentiaries that are filled with people that could not afford drugs, jet skis, pimped rides, and celebrity luxury lifestyles because they could only get jobs at McFood stores, big box stores, cotton plantations or corporate agricultural operations. People have been enslaved by the lure of democracy and the good life, free from tyranny, oppression, and poverty.
Live the American dream.
“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.” – Martin Luther King
At 6:05 P.M. on Thursday, 4 April 1968, Martin Luther King was shot dead while standing on a balcony outside his second-floor room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. A white Democrat named James Earl Ray confessed to the crime, as well as his enslavement to rabid white supremacy and his devotion to the KKK.
