Quite aside from how facile the rest of your argument is, I think you're wildly underestimating the evils of slavery. I don't think this statement was a universal truth.
I'm not underestimating any evil. You want to talk about the evils of slavery I am down, but that is a different topic entirely. I was talking about believing in the 100% personal property ownership rights of people being the right side litmus test versus not. The moment you have to take exception to anything that can be owned, and slaves are not recognized 100% as being owned unless they willfully want to be owned, then you are not on the right side of that political belief system. That is all. It's a very simple concept. The more exceptions you make to this, the more left side of the political belief you are up to the point where a person doesn't believe in personal ownership of anything. Those would be far left. I am not defining a numerical scale system here or anything like that. Just defining far left and far right based on the political spectrum of private personal ownership.
