You're welcome, Nate. It's a favourite. The presentation is remarkable for
its emphasis on understatement, underestimation, and conservative
definitions of slavery, all of which add to the sense of how endemic
slavery (classically defined) is. Read alongside Pilger, Saul, and the
like, one begins to wonder what kind of system we are living in. I truly
think it's superseded capital and is now some sort of monstrous historical
hybrid, the most evident aspects of which appear to me to derive from the
roman empire and high feudalism.
By maybe my glasses are on crooked.
Best,
Phil
