Let me ask you a question. Was America a capitalist country from 1776 to 1860? Was it? And therefore, are slavery and capitalism compatible with each other? I’m asking you because I think you and I (and most of hexbear) have different answers to that question.
It was somewhat capitalist but with several issues that were anti-capitalism.
Slavery of the kind that America engaged in is inherently anti-capitalist. Indentured servitude would be compatible though.
There was a struggle of the Federal Government regulating gold and silver, central banking, etc. Eventually the Federal Government won full control over that in 1913.

There is nothing inherently anti-capitalist about slavery, it is entirely compatible with it.
Can you describe you political ideology in detail to me?
I think they’re just figuring it out as they go, lmao

How can we know that if you wont openly state your ideology? Come on, say it! If you can’t, then clearly your ideas arent worth taking seriously.
