Thornton munists brag about their conspiracy to overthrow free enterprise systems, and to make slaves of all peoples. But does a conspiracy also exist in America? What degrees of slavery have existed, and do now exist? One degree is total helplessness and degradation of the slave. In ancient Rome the gladiators were slaves. They were trained to fight each other, and wild animals, to ' entertain Roman citizens. Pretty much as you and I are entertained (and brutalized) by our masters of the media, with sadistic, violent, obscene television shows and movies. Under Spartacus, the and other slaves revolted, and it tock several Roman gladiators armies to subdue them. There is the slavery of total work bondage. We had it before emancipation. The slaves of Egypt labored under the whip to build the mighty pyramids. They were men whose bodies were used by masters, like those of mules and elephants. In Africa for centruies black tribes enslaved one another. The Portuguese in 1442 were the first known white dealers in captured The trade black Africans. flourished. We read in Brittanica under Modern Slave Trade" (I paraphrase) villages were burnt by their own tribal leaders, in order to capture the fleeing natives and sell them to traders. Moslems, in the north of Africa, were notorious owners of negro slaves. The Portuguese and Spaniards introduced black slavery into Europe. The English in 1619 landed the first negro slaves in British America, at Jamestown. Virginia. These black slaves were, for the most part, used in productive Not as gladiators, or work. builders of monuments to ego such as the pyramid tombs of kings. Simultaneously, slavery existed in Russia in two forms. Abject slavery, and serfdom. A slave is wholly a piece of transferable merchandise. A serf remains attached to the land he tills, and if the land is sold the serf goes with it. A complaining or unruly Russian serf could be punished by beatings and shipped off to Siberian mines. Without trial. Little has changed in Russia, the difference being mainly that slaves arc now owned by the state and not bv individuals.
