>There are more slaves alive today than ever in history, despite being illegal in every country

Not the chattel slavery of the Old South though where slaves were regarded as a valuable commodity. A good field hand would command a price comparable to a car today.

The slaves of today are largely regarded as completely expendable. To be used and disposed of like one would paper towels.

>The idea that slavery is just teleologically fated to end in tandem with modernisation is pure Whig history that collapses on any economic inspection. Fordism would have revolutionised slavery harder than the cotton gin

The only industrialized countries that successfully maintained a slave-based economy for an appreciable length of time have been the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, North Korea, and China to a more limited extent. Maybe Qatar if you're stretching it.

Is there any actual substantive evidence (that wasn't more manufactured by J. Edgar Hoover than women's clothing) that Martin Luther King was in contact and cooperative with agents of the Soviet Union? Serious question.

I've heard this line get repeated a lot on /pol/ and even here over the years and the only source for it seems to be "the FBI said so", at which point you might as well be citing the NKVD as proof that Tukhachevsky was a German spy.

Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened with Ridley Scott? He used to be regarded as one of the greatest directors of all time and he's produced nothing but flops since 2010.
