[holding a rose] Now hear me out… Sure, we did let them bring back slavery

[looking smug] But we negotiated that you can have longer and more comfortable chains this time around

[dropped the rose, still looking smug] We truly are defenders of the people

    There are more slaves today than there were during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (not counting indentured servitude, which was abolished only in 1917~1920 by the country that prides itself on ending the slave trade. Not counting serfdom either). Kevin Bales wrote a book on it - ‘Disposable Peoples.’ Salty libs downvoting the comic would benefit from some reading. Read ‘Cobalt Red’ by S. Kara while you’re at it too.

    Liberals are so efficient when cracking down on communists, purging them with ruthless efficiency from both the public sphere and the government then why do they go soft on fascists who abuse free speech with some silly milquetoast excuse? It’s so obvious.
