Indeed therefore it was an implementation by the British establishment, which the American bougeoise inherited after their revolution, with portions of the new bougeoise state taking measures to abolish slavery while other portions sustained it.

But the British establishment really didn’t have a say in whether or not Jamestown started importing slaves. It was the Virginian bourgeoisie who made that choice. Had they acted to prevent it (unlikely considering there wasn’t really an abolitionist movement to speak of) the revolution would have started much differently.

I feel like this is a loaded question, but it was when America was a set of colonies. Some of them were British. Others were French, or German, or Dutch.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
