When you get called a Leftist and a Commie for basically holding the same affiliations as U.S. Grant

You're called a commie because you champion Marxist policies, you lying dipshit. You keep droning on about "muh living breathing constitution" being ripe for European buggery instead of just f**king off to a preexisting socialist shithole, aka "migrating to find a better life doing the jobs citizens won't do"

Lot of insults there. I’m an American, same as you.

Not even close. You're a lump of socialist shit not even fit to be Canadian.

Idiot

I don’t support slavery anywhere it occurs. I’m aware modern-day slavery still happens in places like Mauritius. What are you doing to stop it?

If I am confronted by a flag or statue depicting the Confederacy as I go about my daily life, I’m going to comment on it.

You're a leftist, of course you support slavery. Making other people work against their wills to pay your bills and embracing unabashed slavery cultures like Islam and Communist China in the name of "diversity" are core slavery doctrines of the left. You just think you can associate slavery with white southerners only and then "denounce" it to feel good about your hypocrisy of slobbering all over non-white slavers and collecting your completely unearned welfare check.

I make a good living and I enjoy my patriotic duty of paying taxes and as part of that, helping provide welfare for the neediest. I also give to charity and volunteer

I don’t like the political systems in most if not all Islamic countries, and certainly not communist China

The Hong Kong protestors are the bravest people in the world right now and deserved to win the Time cover

Helping others with a free will is called charity. Being forced to work for the benefit of others is called slavery. You may continue to spew your bullshit about muh hurr durr happy to pay taxes, but it will never change the fact that you reject the freedom for others to chose and instead prefer the slave method for them. And again, as a leftist, you support Islam, China, North Korea, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Rowanda, etc. regardless of what you say, because multiculturalism. You're a joke.

Do you pay taxes?
Hasn’t every government on earth relied on taxation? Can you cite any that haven’t?
How is it “slavery” to do so?
Are we all enslaved then?

I don’t support whatever is happening in those countries you listed.

Americans pay taxes for things and services they actually want and use. Marxists take taxes from workers
without any consent under threat of violence to enrich themselves and advance their causes against them, aka slavery. You're either too stupid to know the difference, or too evil to care.

So Americans paying taxes is okay and enlightened, but Europeans and citizens of other countries paying taxes is "slavery"?

No, the difference between an American citizen and a Marxist seditionist is understanding the purpose of a tax. For example, a community would like to build a public park. They have a meeting, discuss the pros and cons, vote on the matter, and then take bids on the project to find the best cost for those involved. They decide to place an excise tax on new construction to fund the project. Those who do not wish to fund the project may choose to build in a place without the tax. In every way there is a choice to pay or not pay the tax. Your Marxist welfare tax is designed to benefit only a select few, but everyone who expressly cannot benefit from it is required to pay it anyway under penalty of confiscation and imprisonment, nationwide. It is nothing but slavery.

Some taxes work in the way you've described, but the vast majority of the taxes we pay (income, property, and sales taxes) go toward causes that we do not vote on directly.

So we elect representatives and they decide taxation levels and what to spend the proceeds on. And no, we don't have a choice not to pay income, sales, or property tax. (Unless we simply choose not to make an income, buy anything, or own property)

It doesn't matter. If I am forced to pay for something I don't want or need, and especially cannot use, it is taxation without representation and is slavery. If you place a toll on a bridge, I can choose not to use it. If you place a tax on a car, I can choose not to buy it. But if you say I must pay for AIDS medicine despite me never putting an AIDS dick in my butthole, and if I refuse you will send armed men to arrest me and take my property, you are a slaver.
