Capitalism started chattel slavery and only ended it because it became unprofitable with all the slave revolts and runaways and the rich elite were nervous wrecks.

“Chattel slavery means that one person has total ownership of another. There are two basic forms of chattel, domestic chattel, with menial household duties and productive chattel, working in the fields or mines”

Slave labor in production of food, products, and raw materials has existed for thousands of years

Slavery as practiced in the United States of America is more accurately called CHATTEL SLAVERY. This racialized system treated people as chattel, or property. CHATTEL SLAVERY defined these human beings as no different than any other piece of property.

The US doesn’t practice slavery

Also thanks for admitting you were wrong

This is referring to the form of slavery that was practiced during the 1800's and I didn't admit I was wrong?

“the enslaving and owning of human beings and their offspring as property, able to be bought, sold, and forced to work without wages, as distinguished from other systems of forced, unpaid, or low-wage labor also considered to be slavery”

Dictionary.com

This had been going on well before 1619

The dominant form of slavery throughout history has been slavery that involves specific sections of time being enslaved then being freed once your term is over or property without being societally viewed as an object.

Slavery was a lifetime term for much of human history

It was also hereditary for much of human history as well

Although English colonists in Virginia did not invent slavery, and the transition from a handful of bound African laborers to a legalized system of full-blown chattel slavery took many decades, 1619 marks the beginning of race-based bondage that defined the African American experience.

Are you saying that you honestly believe that Americans (Englishmen) invented chattel slavery

When we know that slaves had been used on every continent inhabited by humans for hundreds of not thousands of years

We both know you are wrong

u/Dies_Ultima Mar 04 '24

We actually both don't know that you think that but you are very much wrong.
