Chaldean Slaves (1893)
We don’t really know exactly where Chaldea was, still less how they or their slaves dressed, and the text accompanying this illustration in Redpath’s book was not relevant to it. I doubt we know whether female slaves did this work of grinding wheat or other grains to make flour or meal.
But it’s an illustration of slave labour.

Haiti's violent #history not likely over
" #Slavery had died out in #Europe during the Middle Ages, but when the opportunity arose to #getrich by using #slavelabour to grow sugar cane on West Indian #plantations, #Europeans were more than happy to go back into the business.. at least 10 million #slaves were sent west across the Atlantic in the next 2 centuries.. The ones that went to #Haiti died very fast, because it was cheaper to work them to death & just buy some more"

🗣 The call for papers for the workshop "The gains of their sorrow: Slavery, the slave trade, and the rise of capitalism in the other South" will close on 31 January.
The aim of the meeting is to open a debate on bridges connecting research focused on the Middle Passage and the one focused on mines, plantations, urban jobs, etc.

Another example of Chinese companies treating foreign workers as dirt, refining nickel for electric vehicles.
“ For Mr Ding, who ended up leaving his job in Indonesia without his passport and got a new one at the embassy, the Chinese companies in Indonesia's nickel industry view workers as disposable resources.
The workers are the same as the ore, they are digging for 'nickel' and we are their 'human ore', both of which have no value after being dug up and consumed," he said.”#mining

For those who don't know - Butchart family wouldn't have been able to build #infamous Butchart Gardens without getting richer by #POC #SlaveLabour . Butchart's daughter was the one who saw the rampant cruelty in her family & made one of the hardest working Chinese workers at cement plant as the gardens first master gardener.
Chinese, Sikh & native workers were put into shacks & paid almost nothing, while white workers got proper housing & paid well.Remember THAT when you visit #ButchartGardens

What the wealthy #industrialists want is not so much a race wiped out, but they will Stoke that division if it allows them cover while they make money in #slaveLabour and #concentrationCamps, which the #BushCrimeFamily were able to do for example. Their fortunes would go on to support a political dynasty of two presidents.

We heard about this #copaganda project from #LeeCamp a while back and were horrified, tooting about it at the time… and we rarely toot about internal #USA affairs.It was the fascistic conflence of #BigConstruction, the questionable policing and downright disgusting #slaveLabour (ahem- #prisonSystem), and our distaste for #Hollywood propaganda that compelled us to toot.
As Lee Camp would say, "Keep fighting"!

We're not big supporters of #meatEating. It'd be great for many, including in terms of #publicHealth, if we were somehow limited in our #meat intake.We're quite sure that if we stopped bombing far flung places, incl' staging #coups that destabilise, there'd be no #slaveLabour on our shores in the #massProduction of #meatProducts at #abattoirs.

> "Density Good."
Actually no, #denseLiving is very bad for basically everyone. But especially people who are not 25-30 years old.

Tell that to the #powerElite in their #privatePlanes and helicopters, #printingMoney to buy up literally everything and bringing in #slaveLabour from overseas by plane at all hours of the night and day to build the #highrises they intend to pack us into.They are having a good little time at our expense. Big gains ahead for them.
But a person wouldn't know it from watching the #ABCNews (#AustralianBroadcastingCoronavirusNews).
Sure there's a silverLining, but some honesty is needed.

When is that country going to get #rankChoiceVoting?When is it going to be the actual #democracy it pretends to be, as opposed to a #warProfiteering, #slaveLabour profiteering and #virtualSignalling enterprise?
Does #BernieOrVest mean we should see #yellowVests soon?
