Slave [sleyv] from Middle English, from Old French sclave, from Medieval Latin sclāvus (“slave”), from Late Latin Sclāvus (“Slavic Person”), from Byzantine Greek Σκλάβος (Sklábos), from Proto-Slavic slověninъ … The seminal image many 50+ year old Americans have regarding the West African slave trade’s operating model can be traced back to the 1977 television miniseries
Some deep research here. Thank you. No wonder Slavic peoples and Eastern Europeans in general are so wary of the West and the illusion of Democracy. It also explains their tribal nature and fight against nationalization.
Thanks for referring me to this article, ICE-9, with so much interesting history. Coincidentally, I'd just read about the relationship between slave and Slav--can't believe it took me this long to see the connection. It was in this article, which fits your theme of tracing the origins (avoiding the word 'roots') of slavery: https://www.unz.com/article/what-races-are-ukrainians-from-tall-timbers-to-the-pontic-steppe. I had it handy in a draft I was calling The Henchmen of Yahweh.
There are two underlying questions that I feel your article doesn't state, but then answers. The first is, "Are reparations owed for slavery?" Related to that is whether ancestral guilt--or pride--is a thing. Are we responsible for the actions of some members of our race and ethnic heritage?
In the third chapter of my book, I talk about White Slavery: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/03-white-slavery. It makes it clear that if reparations are owed to the descendants of slaves, it will include nearly all of us. However, the section is called Pieces of Slave. It shows that what backs the money system is and has always been the usurped labor of others, aka slavery. So if reparations were paid in money, whose slavery would back it? And then would you need to pay them reparations in the next generation with someone else's labor?
Setting that aside, do we inherit guilt or victimization based on our race? You seem to be saying yes, but it's Africans and Arabs who are slave traders by their nature, not Europeans. And that's been our point of disagreement. I don't think pride or shame (or debt) should be generational. My focus is on the malevolent stories and systems that have tricked good people into doing bad things.
If there's a villain common to the enslavement of Africans, Slavs and Celts, it's gold. Slavery has always existed but the slave trade on steroids could only have happened with a small portable fiat coinage of a substance declared to be worth thousands of man-hours. Who made gold a fiat currency?
As my draft title indicates, the same people you call the Philosopher Kings or the conjuring class, who I call The Usurpers. In White Slavery I link to a video called The 13 Sugar Colonies, which has been taken off YT but is linked here: https://juliusskoolafish.substack.com/p/documentary-the-13-sugar-colonies.
In the Torah, the name Cain means metal-worker. In my book, I look at the coinage-taxation-slavery complex as the way in which we were all co-opted into enslaving our neighbors for our own survival. Although the clan of Cain were nomads, they were protected by 'the Lord God,' whose gold they coined into labor-usurping disks.
I'm in complete agreement with you about the system that's turned us all into slaves. The ethnicity of Yahweh's henchmen have changed throughout the ages, and their techniques have been refined from terrorism to monetary and ideological control. It's not their superior ethnicity that gives them control over us, it's the false stories and systems we go along with. That's what my book seeks to change.
