I have some time before rushing off to class . . . so . . . to yours: I'll have to ponder that suggestion. Lots of irons in the fire. Yet, possibly doable. Thanks for the honor of your suggestion.

Personally, I think that the slavery comes from within.

It seems to me that the most pervasive, most devastating and most tenacious does originate from within . . . the heart of man? Of each individual? Heart priorities that are . . . deceptive? upside down?

Our own slavery, which we may not even realize we have, causes us to enslave others. For example, when people become slaves to money, they then enslave others in order to get it.

I think there's enormous broad truth to your assertion above. Well put.

It's the reason the economic situation in most Latin American countries is as bad as it is, because Western companies took over those fertile lands and exotic fruits and turned them into a money-making business. They would get the US and other Western countries to literally stage coups against the democratically elected leaders of those countries, just so that they could have the land all to themselves.

INDEED. Philippines, too. I used to be skeptical of such claims. No more. The globalist oligarchy has been ruthless around the planet for decades. Precious people are considered objects for the elite's whim's. And certainly as slaves to enrich the globalist machine.

At this point, the elites have so much money, more is a joke in terms of meaningfulness even to them. However, it does serve to help their newer greater greed--LUST FOR POWER.

Now, the CEO's of those companies (Chiquita, for example) are slaves to their own passion, the greed and lust for more wealth, while all of the people who are affected by war, economic issues, social injustices, and etc because of the corporate influence in their government and the lack of real representation, suffer as slaves.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED. . . . or worse . . . as "useless eaters" at the mercy of the gaping gnashing jaws and sharp teet of the ruthless oligarchy.

But worse, is that we as regular, blue collar Americans, are both. We are owned by the CEO's and do their dirty work for them (we are their soldiers, their secretaries, their factory workers...)

QUITE SO. I'm basically a very conservative capitalist. However, the globalist oligarchy has crafted a bastardized merger of Marxism and monopolistic ruthless pseudo-capitalism for the global government/economy. What a horror!

but we also live off of the enslavement of others in places like China and Central/South America, who make our coffee, our corn, our fruit... we're screwed in both ways.

AGREED. I've seen some of those sweat shops in China. Dreadful conditions. Yet, I've heard some similar are in New York City etc.

Certainly experiments with rats show that crowding results in ruthless violence etc.

I think that's one of the worst horrors of the globalists--forcing precious individuals to act like the ruthless animals the globalists delight in being.

Honestly, I don't even know how it would be possible to fix it, except for to try your best to remove yourself from the oppression and buy local, work local, and spread awareness about the fact that oftentimes, your latte at Starbucks was made by slave labor in Guatemala....

Good points.

I try to ask employees how their employer treats them. Always have. Then I don't trade where employees are treated badly, if I can reasonably avoid it.

And, certainly I prefer local farm goods etc.

WWIII may force all of us to return to basics much more than most people will have the faintest clue about. We will soon learn who are true friends and loved ones and who are not. And we'll learn more how to treat those nearby.

Do unto others . . .

Thanks for your kind reply.
