    How does it matter what skills an enslaved person developed?

    They were owned by another person. When those skills were used, whatever was created became owned by the slaver. That is how slavery works. There is no gain to the enslaved person.

      It’s all about marketing. Those were just unpaid internships to help develop practical skills of modern industry in developing African countries! Involuntarily!

      Reconstruction was ended too early. We were far too easy on the slavers.

    “Own personal benefit”? You mean like making their master profits, while not being able to leave at threat of death? Sounds like great skills to learn.

    These are the kind of people that would ask, “other than that, how did you enjoy the play Mrs. Lincoln?”

    “Calm down, it was just a lifelong unpaid internship, y’all.”

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it’s leftist, it’s welcome here!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
  • Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
  • Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
  • No brocialism/sexism
  • No ableism
  • No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
  • No racism
  • No trolling
  • No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
  • No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
  • Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

  • Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
  • Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
  • Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
  • Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
  • Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
  • Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
  • Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends
