» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Slavery & Capitalism

In response to Right of Ownership posted by pink101:


Very good point, Pink. But the price of abolishing slavery isn't to overturn the free market system upon which the United States was founded.

To overturn slavery, the American people had to agree - and they did (after a war and amending the Constitution) - that human beings can't be considered property.

The American people did NOT agree to throw out the entire concept of property - or, more to the point, the individual or corporate ownership of property. That has not been jettisoned - and it shouldn't be.
