What we are discussing is that the slavery of yesterday, has no bearing on capitalism today.

No it wasn’t.

Not relevant. There is no slave labor in the U.S.

Yes, we do have socialism mixed in with capitalism.

I disagree.

I don’t shop at Walmart as my way of voting with my dollars, that I do not subscribe to this.

Fair enough…make your case.

Or capitalism mixed in with socialism.

I’ll wait for a bit.

Define “slave labor”

Of course it does;

Things that happen before this moment have impact.

It’s how linear time works.

No choice. Force.

You also run the business that you invest in. You are a business owner, not a capitalist.

A capitalist earns all of their money from investing.

No. Look it up. I’m not into silly assed games.

I would too. :sunglasses:

US Slavery was the best way to practice capitalism. For the same reason using Chinese labor is the choice for most corporations. It allows them to maximize profits.

3/5 of a person is inaccurate? I swear I saw it in the Constitution.

Apparently not. I can very easily argue either side of this.

Good Lord. Again?

Not inaccurate. But no relevant either. This ended decades ago. Nobody believes this today.
