The "Marriage Ammendment," Slavery, and Women As Property

There is a lesson to be learned here from history, most importantly what has been glossed over and hidden in the teaching of it.

Not only were African-American slaves and women held in bondage, so were white indentured servants, Chinese immigrant laborers on the railways, and numerous other groups of POOR PEOPLE. In fact, many still are held in effective bondage to this very day.

This has always been a case of the wealthy using every possible distinction they can drum up, be it class, age, sex, race, educational level, material wealth, or whatever to divide those of lesser means and conquer them into their cheap labor pool so that they can continue to maintain and build their own wealth at everyone else’s expense.

They use the media, public education, religious dogma, and every other means they can come up with to keep pushing those artificial distinctions so that those who have less will remain divided along lines the wealthy create.

It was not men in general that wanted women as an underclass, it was men in positions of power and those they suckered into believing their BS that did it. If all men wanted such a system, why did it end, regardless of womens’efforts for change? Some men had to vote to end it.

The same is true of slavery and every other form of repression that was beaten back in the last century. Obviously, the majority were AGAINST these oppressions, or they would remain today.

Such issues need to be recognized for exactly what they are - weapons in an ongoing class war that has lasted for millennia.

This is part of a systematic effort to hold the many down so that the few can benefit. If these types of psychological weapons are ever to be defused and rendered useless, this must be brought to the forefront of common knowledge and kept there relentlessly.

Ignorance of this fact is holding far too much of humanity back.
