I am gonna try and sell literature to the youth at the SF demonstration this weekend and ideally win some radicals over to a trotskyist perspective with my comrades

I may, because it was a big step in the right direction, but slavery hasn't ended in the US. There's still wage-slavery, child labour, and immigrants gettin paid pennies to do legitimate, valuable work. But i did request the day off work so i could go up to Five Points, at least for a couple hours.

wage-slavery does exist but chattel slavery has been smashed

they are not equal forms of exploitation and to put them on the same level is insensitive in my opinion.

Not to say that wage-slavery isn't a terrible form of exploitation, i just feel funny equating them...

So according to relt

the thousands of freed slaves fighting alongside the union army to smash chattel slavery is an event to be forgotten because materialism as he understands it suggests that that event is no more important than an internet post count on a site full of studying revolutionary youth...

PRAISE HIM!

CAN'T YOU SEE?

the dinosaurs are the stupid blacks that think slavery is bad and the birds are us on the site with higher than 500 posts because we evolved from them cause we don't like slavery either!?

therefore the birds are equal to the dinosaurs!?!?!?

celebrating it honors those that fought for it while taking tome to come together and discuss what still needs to be done.

It is a chance for cadre and youth to come together and discuss the best path forward. A chance to learn about history and relate it to the present. A chance to inform those who do not know about it and ensure that they are not forgotten.
