Noam Chomsky: Reagan was an ‘extreme racist’ who re-enslaved African-Americans

9. The media is using many references to civil war, antebellum, etc. The music industry promotes

bands such as Lady Antebellum, Civil War. Movies with civil war imagery such as Sahara. Civil rights court cases involving freedom to display the Confederate flag at state capitols and on state issued liscence plates.

The many many references to this time in history, I suspect, is not accidental. The moving of factories and jobs to low pay countries to drive our wages down and break up labor unions. We have the largest prison population in the world, per capita, with a population of majority of people of color.

Slavery does not need to appear like it did in the 1700 and 1800s. Today's slavery, which is in the form of indentured servitude or economic slavery, is hidden behind prison walls and in low paying service jobs.

The economic royalists would not redo slavery as it was before the 19th amendment. There is too much public awareness. They would most certainly "reinvent" how slavery looks and operates, so people will not recognize slavery as it is today.
