Slavery is Freedom: The New ‘Abolitionists’ Want Us To Be Their Slaves
What’s really behind abolishing the police, borders and the constitution.

The old Communists, Marxists and Socialists at least called themselves what they were while the new radicals shoplifted a term from American history and style themselves as ‘abolitionists’.
Initially the term was misused by pro-crime activists who wanted to abolish police, prisons and the justice system, claiming that these were racist and were rooted in the institution of slavery. They used social media and academia to popularize the false claim that the police had started out as slavery patrols and argued that the prison system was just another form of slavery.
This flattening of meaning cynically equated public safety, a system which protects black people who are statistically the most likely victims of crime, with racial slavery. The efforts to ‘abolish’ it with race riots, delegitimization and defunding led to an unprecedented crime wave that cost the lives of thousands of black men and whose consequences are still being felt even today.
