Is the wealth the 1% made from destroying our jobs and moving them offshore rightfully theirs?

28. No. Its just a different kind of slavery.

Wage/Debt slavery is more broad-based and diffuse than Cotton/Plantation slavery or human slavery of its other stripes throughout history. Its the last remaining slavery that is not utterly stigmatized and unacceptable. The 1% don't squeal like pigs out of greed, its out of terror that the last method of unchecked exploitation is finally being challenged and dragged into the light of day.

The fight to eradicate it completely though will linger on for a century or more with enormous bloodshed. The privileged few will kill millions before they are brought down, but much as the path to universal human equality is uni-directional and immutable, so too is the path to erasing the last bastion of slavery for humanity.

I wish I could be there to see what comes after, when the dust settles and the world must rebuild from a new perspective. I'll be long dead and gone by then...but maybe my kids or grandkids or the ideas I fight to instill in their heads every day now WILL live on to see it, and that will just have to be meaning enough for me...
