exactly -- so I want to know, in what context did
the honorable judge say this? I want to call FM
on this deviously tendentious quote.

Huh?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 01 2012 @ 03:47 PM EDT
A central, mandatory, necessity of Communism / Soviet socialism is some form of
slavery / involuntary servitude.
Further, all the 'socialisms' have as an inherent characteristic a component of
involuntary servitude.

A central, mandatory, objective of, at least the United States, is the
prevention of slavery / involuntary servitude.

To the extent the average citizen of the United States has internalized the
purpose of his government, and of his whole society, of course they are going
to, and should, be violently hostile to anyone advocating slavery in any form.

Slavery is an existential question for any society of free persons. Socialism /
Liberalism / Progressivism necessarily require the compulsion of one person to
labor for the benefit of another, and that is incommensurate with a free
society.

So yeah, average people in the U.S. are hostile to people pushing slavery, no
matter how disguised.

An average citizen of the U.S.
