liberals feverishly crossing out the word slave and replacing it with the word worker "umm actually they get paid 5 cents an hour so it's not slavery sweaty 😤"

Just like in the southern US after the American Civil War, slavery was abolished and everyone lived in harmony with no problems whatsoever

"Slavery was abolished in the US in 1865. There were no slaves in America in 2023."

We “freed the slaves” in 1863!”

Except that slavery is still legal here, and also the last illegal chattle slave (definitely not the last) was freed during fucking word war 2 or whatever

(Knowing better video about neoslavery if you want to learn more)

Fucking liberals earnestly believe when words are written on a page it makes them true, and that things opposed to the words are IMPOSSIBLE and against the laws of physics is so fucking frustrating

Until it comes to killing some poors or homeless despite what the words say, then it turns out they were only a suggestion

In all my years I've never heard anyone claim that Castro eliminated slavery (in the classical, non-wage sense anyway), and it never crossed my mind. The implication that Cuban workers weren't being exploited in an extremely capitalist, basically-slavery, hellhole though is obviously disingenuous.

I never learned about Cuban revolution and chattel slavery. I learned it as getting the island out from the thumb of mafiosos and exploitative American interests. That was enough for me.

you see, we call the slaves something else now, so its ok to make them work long hours in inhuman conditions for not-nearly-enough pay.

I assume a member of the class of soulless parasitic nazis wrote this www.readsettlers.org

"Castro freed the slaves" is a bad agitprop point for exactly this reason: it's not true on the face of it. Best case, you get into a semantic argument about what "slavery" means, which derails the conversation. Worst case, whoever reads your agitprop googles "when was slavery abolished in Cuba" and thinks you don't know what you're talking about.

I was arguing with a Cuban “refugee” on reddit today and asked how many slaves his ancestors owned in Cuba. His answer? “I don’t know.” Totally normal answer to the question.

Slavery was abolished by the british in their African colonies yet numerous forms of slavery persisted. And they also replaced it with other forms of mobilization, like forced labour and compulsive proletarization. So, slavery abolishment means little when in reality it's not always carried out, especially when a lot of now "modern workers" found themselves being former slaves, with no other option other than subjecting themselves to continued exploitation.

Lol like liberals read history. "Reading history" means repeating what you heard someone else say who you assume reads history. I don't have to actually waste my time learning if I just repeat the opinions of people who have certain accreditations and pedigrees of learning. Life is so fucking simple
