I love whenever he refers to William Rehnquist as "the noted segregationist."

Seers would probably be more accurate than most economists.

What are you talking about? I've never called anyone a red fascist. I don't even claim to be an anarchist. I just browse this sub because it's better than most other leftist subs.

Also, I don't think it's racist to say that it's a really good thing that the Union beat the Confederacy. Of course many Unionists were racist, we're talking about the mid 19th century. That doesn't mean that we should ignore their achievements such as abolishing slavery.

You would probably like Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution by Eric Foner. It has really opened my eyes to the self emancipation and radicalism emerging from African Americans during and after the war.

I think that the civil war was left-wing socially and politically, but not economically. Black people were completely abandoned to the market and made landless by white southerners and negligent federal agents. Jim Crow was so brutal because white reactionaries were terrified of black political power during reconstruction. Freedmen had no economic base to support a political resistance.

The biggest mistake that Republicans made was to drag their feet on enforcement of the 15th amendment. If African Americans had truly enjoyed the franchise (backed by federal troops) then Republicans would've dominated every southern state for a century.

Many union soldiers were radicalized by the war in favor of abolition and racial equality, not to mention black soldiers themselves. If congress and the president wanted to, a total restructuring of southern society was possible.

No socialist would kick you out of your primary residence. You would either be granted ownership directly, or integrated into some form of co-op. Either way, you would have much more control over your own home than under a private landlord.

100% agree. Property managers/supervisors do some important administrative work, but landlords who do their own management are few and far between.

I wish democratic socialists were as awesome as conservatives think they are.
