Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harvard College Library A "good" slave always opposes the liberation of other slaves or the abolition of the slave-caste. Although he himself might like to get beyond it, yet, because he has been taught to feel so, he "knows" that other slaves have no capacity for development under freedom. The highest degree of slave-virtue is reached when the slave resents his own emancipation and personally punishes the would-be emancipator of himself or of his fellow-slave. In the United States of America we have very generally legalized these slave-virtues and have penalized the provocateur of slave-revolt, and all this has been done with the theoretical consent of the slave-voters of these states, which slave-voters are the successors of the Continental Congress and of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. From such motives, operating unconsciously because disguised by such words as law and order, peace and patriotism, we have long since abolished liberty of conscience and of speech for all men of the present generation who are of the same general character as those who made this "republic" possible. As good slaves should do, we all affirm that the would-be emancipators are the enemies of "society," that is exploiters. The international etiquette which prevails among the tyrannous officials of national importance has acquired the force of international law and so in another way we have superseded the constitutional guarantees enacted by our rebellious predecessors. Just as one "gentleman" despot would not offend a friendly fellow-tyrant, so all must support each other´s system.
