   @hannu_ikonen Andrew Johnson was always ok with slavery, he just hated how the rich slave owners looked down on him. So he pardoned all of them and gave them back their land and property (thankfully slaves were classified as people then), if they just came to the white house and kissed his ass.
   They then used funds meant for southern vets who weren't allowed to get veterans help because they were traitors, to fund books like the confederate catechism and gone with the wind. Had those rich traitors rotted in prison, the south would a very different place. It the reason they impeached him. They were one vote shy of removing him but some senator in the pocket of a war profiteer voted against it because the VP was too radical for him, things like giving women the vote and regulating industry.

     Problem is, we didnt win the civil war. We let the cancer of racism, injustice, & hate fester, secondarily metastasize.

     Not a 2nd Civil War, instead a continuation of the imperial-colonial project where self appointed rich white blobs pit us against one another & make passive $.

     Only total repossession of their plunder & deconstruction of the racist state is curative.

     A lot of very serious ppl chide the left as immature or pipe dreamers.

     This Third Way *is* the pipe dream unraveling.
