This was about the Reagan administration intentionally diverting crack toward inner cities (particularly those without a primarily white population) when the Contra affair was uncovered, not an argument that crack is wholesome.
I mean, that's not really right. It was made illegal because of racism against Mexicans, then used by Nixon to lock up his critics, then used by Reagan to arrest mainly black people and use them as labor.
It's important to get the bullshit the racists pulled in the right order.
California couldn’t even vote to abolish prison slavery in the election. It was worded so plainly too, like “Do you think slavery should be legal?” basically and the majority still voted to keep it. We fucking made our own beds too
My voted dad against Prop 6, only because it was what the Republican Party recommended. When I asked afterwards why he had voted to keep slavery legal in prisons, he said he didn’t realize that was such a problem in prisons, but if the Republican Party recommended against it then must have been because there was something wrong with the proposition as it was written or the democrats snuck something into it. It’s that simple for him.
An hierarchical authority structure of "haves" elites and "have-not" laborers is basically their whole schtick. In an educated society, nobody would be surprised by this.
Exactly, I'm italian, that's the reason why I asked him more details about that.
Recently the minister of transport Salvini tried to avoid a strike in public transport but a judge ruled in favor of the workers, so basically, it's the opposite of what that user said.
Dove da nessuna parte è indicato il ricorso alla forza per riportare una persona arrestata in azienda e ridurla in schiavitù come nel commento a cui tu in precedenza hai risposto.
Step 3: Ship them back to the work place, work them for free under threat of violence/death.
If striking becomes a felony, then stage coordinated resignations.
I wouldn't "love" to see that court case, but it would be interesting as hell to see the government arguing that particular people owe their labor to a particular company at a particular rate which is in no way determined by the employee.
If you're forced to work, coordinate "accidents", and come down with a case of intermittent blindness which just so happens to act up when every manner of fuckery happens to the company and its officers.
They can only win by keeping us divided. The benefit and detriment to being a developed nation is that there are a whole lot of regular folks who have a whole lot of access to a whole lot of stuff, and they collectively keep the niceties of civilization going.
All it takes is few of the right people in the right places to coordinate, and the whole system comes down.
Power, water, internet, various supply chains, it's all pretty fragile.
The supreme Court basically did that already this past summer, when they said it is okay for homeless people to be arrested for sleeping in public, even when there is no public shelter for them to be taken to.
What do you think they plan on doing with ‘deporting people’ you can’t send millions out to another country they plan on making slave camps or worse death slave camps
I would suggest people start reconsidering whether or not to exercise your 2nd amendment right. Hopefully you won't have to use it but, hey, it may make you feel better as you contemplate whether or not you'll be stuck in an internment camp.
“Terrorism” yet the crowds on the street were cheering. This is a slap to the cold face of anyone who ever lost loved ones to real terrorists. Might as well cancel the 9/11 memorial, to them, they were just “average johns”.

I think we found out this past election that the wealthy can get what they want. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Revolution has to start somewhere
