"I agree much of the wealth of the world today was built on slavery."

I don't know who you're agreeing with since (1) I didn't say that and (2) it isn't true.

As to the Nazi concentration camps, funny that you'd mention them but neglect to mention the Soviet gulags. Actually not funny.... we'll never see Paul criticise the Soviets.

Canem,

"as you've said previously there were slaves from Europe too."

Recent research shows that there were more European slaves taken to North Africa/Near East than African slaves taken to North America.

Hi Trumpster,

I wasn't addressing you, I wouldn't ask you to agree with anything I say, it could be catching. It was your sidekick the Kudos Kid, you know him, your were probably members of the Volkssturm together. Did youu have a cake for Adolf yesterday?

"we'll never see Paul criticise the Soviets." The Soviets were a bunch of bastards. Oh NO! Paul has criticised the Soviets!

We'll never see The Trumpster criticise Trump. Even after he throws The Trumpster under a bus!

Mhaze said- "Recent research shows that there were more European slaves taken to North Africa/Near East than African slaves taken to North America."

Answer- Yes mhaze, I've heard that it was something like an order of magnitude higher, but let me know if I'm off. It makes sense though because early on Europe would have been less populated, and so less powerful, than the ME and Africa. At least Europe used it's power to improve the world. In the early 1900's we built the first tractors to mechanize farming that rendered slavery unnecessary and obselete. A similar innovation happened with containerization in the 1980's putting more than half the dock workers out of work in ten years. If the dock workers had been putting their wages into transport companies at that time they may have weathered the shock better.

Volkssturm- means "'people's assault' or peoples army" it seems, could be wrong. Doesn't Fascism and the US say that an armed people can't be enslaved.

What does Paul1405 and notable Marxist groups in opposition to the "popular German people" support universal slavery- I'm shocked and speechless- I'll recover.

I'm not saying that Paul1405 is a Marxist. I'm just saying that they seem to believe the same things.
