slavery [Theme] Page 1

There are more slaves in the world today than there were in the Roman Empire at any time during its existence!

- Enough!

When from childhood you are taught that slavery is good, xenophobia is good, and chauvinism is the norm, then later you yourself will try to convince others of this.

Slavery always begins with the fact that he who is free to think is not free to speak.

People of sufficient classes are so accustomed to their role as slave owners that when it comes to improving the condition of the workers, they, feeling themselves in the position of landowners, immediately begin to think up all sorts of projects for the arrangement of their slaves, but they have no idea that they do not they have no right to dispose of other people, and that if they definitely wish people well, then the only thing they can and must do is to stop doing the evil that they are now doing. And the evil that they do is very definite and clear. The bad thing they do is not only that they use the forced labor of slaves and do not want to give up this use, but also that they themselves participate in the establishment and maintenance of this forced labor. This is what they need to stop doing. The workers, on the other hand, are so corrupted by their prolonged slavery that most of them think that if their situation is bad, then the employers are to blame for this, paying them too little and owning the instruments of production; it never occurs to them that their bad situation depends only on themselves, and that if they definitely want to improve their situation and that of their brothers, and not each only for their own benefit, then the main thing that they need to do is to stop doing it themselves. bad. And the evil thing they do is that, wishing to improve their material situation by the very means by which they themselves are enslaved, the workers, for the sake of being able to satisfy the habits that they have acquired, sacrificing their human dignity and freedom, act in humiliating, immoral positions or work with unnecessary and harmful items; the main thing is that they support governments, participate in them by taxes and direct service, and thereby enslave themselves.

... the current arrangement of life is bad; everyone agrees on this. The cause of the bad state is slavery produced by the violence of governments. There is only one remedy for the destruction of government violence: to refrain people from participating in violence. And therefore, whether it is difficult or not difficult for people to refrain from participating in government violence, and soon or not soon the good results of such abstinence will appear - questions are superfluous, because for the liberation of people from slavery there is only this one means: there is no other.

The most enduring creature in the world is man! What only he did not have to overcome: hunger, cold, illness, loneliness!... The beast dies - the man lives! Especially the Russian people!... What tests of strength did not fall to the lot of the Russian people! Slavery, invasions, natural disasters, epidemics, wars... The Russian people have not been in the hands of any political adventurers! The whole history of the Russian people is an endless struggle for life, for survival...

Only a terrible shock could destroy inveterate slavery in Russia.

And even more contempt is caused by those cowards who pretend that there were no special horrors. <...> But there are cases when peace is impossible - and this is one of those cases. I sincerely hope, Rus, that you will burn out all this scum with a red-hot iron, sparing no one and nothing. For hundreds of thousands of killed, sacrificed, taken into slavery of our relatives, for millions of crippled destinies and their hypocrisy - kill them all, Ruslan! And no matter what sacrifices our people will have to make, no matter what meanness they will have to go to - a non-human does not deserve the right to life! Not after what they did... <...> For the sake of our future, they must all perish - otherwise one day this bastard will stab us in the back again.

Relationships are slavery with a pleasant illusion of power, followed by execution

- Where did you intend to leave? From the people? And is it far? To Spiridonovna clean the pigsty from shit? So this is not a servant, but a slavery.

Serf life is disgusting to the peasant: he does not care where to die - in the master's stable or on the battlefield.

Not used to living in constant fear? This is how a slave feels.

There is no slavery more shameful than the slavery of the spirit!
