Yes. Some people on the right say that "woke" is something brand new. IMHO statism, socialism, Communism, collectivism, liberalism, Progressivism, Social Democratism, national socialism, the Democrat party, the Uniparty, wokeism… it's all leftism.
Leftists are the people who want more government control and they want to control that government to control the rest of us. It's as simple as that.
Spot on, David. I am working on a local story about water rights and evictions. I have skin in the game as I seem to be the only person still resisting and have, as a 79 yo woman, been living as a "camper" - contemptuously called "squatter" in my own cabin without water and at times without electricity or transportation. Doing research for years - have uncovered astounding corruption but no one has listened so far. I'm just crazy and too old to know anything.
". . . there's actually a very large number of slaves in the world today-our best estimate is 27 million. . . . we're not talking about sweatshop workers . . . we're talking about people who . . . cannot walk away, who are being held against their will . . ." There's been cases in the news in Oakland, Berkeley and other towns in Contra Costa County.
"...there's actually a very large number of slaves in the world today..."
Absolutely true and terrifically important. Slavery is a much worse problem now than at any time in history. That the leftists are the people who oppose slavery is NOT true.

Sometimes I think the world just needs a better class of people.

Fascinating. Do you have an article on the subject of those being held against their will? I'm interested.

this one is so sad - it's not quite like the others, since the young girl was sort of "part of the family." so tragic - https://getpocket.com/explore/item/my-family-s-slave?utm_source=pocket-newtab
I just read the story about Lola. I'm stunned.
Thank you for the links, very kind of you.
