Whose Independence Day? By Eliza Daley, originally published by By my solitary hearth July 8, 2024
"...let’s be honest… this country was founded upon slave labor & theft of property. It kept that slave labor & property theft in its Constitution. It still rests on slave labor in all but name and it still resists returning property to the commonwealth. What is the race to the bottom but the absolute need of slave wages in this economic structure. If people were free to demand at least wages that could support their pursuit of life and liberty & maybe happiness, then there are no profits. Similarly, if land is held in common to support all life (and liberty and maybe happiness), there is no way to extract private wealth.
...This country is based on the idea of the sanctity of property, not life, not even human life (or liberty or happiness). Property rights come before human rights..."
