In other cases, indentured servants were subject to violence at the hands of their employers in the homes or fields in which they worked.
The labour-intensive cash crop of tobacco was farmed in the American South by indentured labourers in the 17th and 18th centuries.[1] Indentured servitude was not the same as the apprenticeship system by which skilled trades were taught, but similarities do exist between the two mechanisms, in that both require a set period of work.
Middle Passage — refers to the forced transportation of African people from Africa to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade[1] and was the middle portion of the triangular trade voyage. Ships left Europe for African markets, where their goods were sold or traded for prisoners and kidnapped victims on the African coast. Traders then sailed to the Americas and Caribbean, where the Africans were sold or traded for goods for European markets, which were then returned to Europe. The European powers Spain, Portugal, France, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Brandenburg, as well as traders from Brazil and North America, all took part in this trade.
Mercantilism — an economic theory that holds the prosperity of a nation dependable upon its supply of capital, and that the global volume of trade is “unchangeable.” Economic assets, or capital, are represented by bullion (gold, silver, and trade value) held by the state, which is best increased through a positive balance of trade with other nations (exports minus imports). Mercantilism suggests that the ruling government should advance these goals by playing a protectionist role in the economy, by encouraging exports and discouraging imports, especially through the use of tariffs. The economic policy based upon these ideas is often called the mercantile system.
Patriarchy describes the structuring of society on the basis of family units, in which fathers have primary responsibility for the welfare of these units. In some cultures slaves were included as part of such households. The concept of patriarchy is often used, by extension, to refer to the expectation that men take primary responsibility for the welfare of the community as a whole, acting as representatives via public office (in anthropology and feminism, for example).
The Slave Power (sometimes referred to as the “Slaveocracy”) was a term used in the Northern United States (primarily in the period 1840-1875) to characterize the political power of the slaveholding class in the South.
An internal improvement is some constructible object that augments a nations economic infrastructure; examples include airports, canals, dams, dikes, pipelines, railroads, roads, tunnels, and artificial harbours.
Wage slavery is a term used to refer to a condition in which a person chooses a job but only within a coerced set of choices (e.g. work for a boss or starve) which usually excludes democratic workers control of the workplace and the economy as a whole and unconditional access to food, shelter and health care. It is used to express disapproval of a condition where persons are effectively compelled to work in return for payment of a wage, and are therefore barred from having a say over economic decisions in proportion to the degree they are affected by them–reducing control over their destinies. [1] In terms used by critics of capitalism, statism and various authoritarian systems, wage slavery is the condition where a person must sell his or her labor power, submitting to the authority of an employer merely to subsist.
Socialist class capitalism is a form of free-market capitalism. In fact, it seeks to emancipate workers in its system of “free market capitalism”, which is based on a single market within the same capitalist system which allows the individual to decide his or her own future wage demands and to engage in the collective management of his or her own personal living space. However, this means that as labor practices change and changes to a certain degree with the establishment of new and new industrial firms (e.g. production of goods and services), workers and employers increasingly depend on individual-sectoral decisions as political tools, and to be able to compete effectively with one another with the aid of private force. As class violence increases, wage slavery occurs. A group of “independent” workers (usually the ones who have a strong social conscience) tend to be particularly affected by a specific form of exploitation; the group tends to be defined as a “slavery-dependent worker organisation” which is unable to co-ordinate production, such as the union trade union or trade unionism, with each other and with other workers by providing an organization with workers of the opposite types. These different groups, sometimes referred to as an “independent” society with separate social institutions, have to adjust collectively while continuing to compete with other workers. Thus, under capitalism, individuals have to make very important decisions about economic relations, not only over the level of wages and wages, but over the amount of time needed before they are able – or ought to be – able to work. The worker organisation that produces and organises the goods and services required to make such decisions has to remain the most important organ of class control within the organisation which determines what is and is not possible for the workers – most especially the workers who are still “independent” (such as the workers of the “corporations” class).
The worker organisation for the benefit of every working people, the Workers’ International, has to work alongside the workers themselves, and, like the workers organisation for the benefit of those who have control over that organisation, work closely with everyone else working towards the collective emancipation of all under the current capitalist system. [2]
The work of workers in this new capitalist country, including the whole of the UK, is in the hands of both worker and employer groups.
The organisation for the benefit of all workers is the Labour Party.
This is not, however, the only organisation for this purpose, but the largest social organisation in the planet. The Labour Party also organises labour, for example, when the workplace is in crisis, such as when the crisis is because employers have taken over power of the British Industry.
The Labour Party aims to strengthen the bargaining power of union workers and to provide the best way for collective agreements to be reached between employers and workers.
This includes the development of a fully integrated union (the Labour Party) in this country, including Labour unions and union federations, to assist working class workers and ensure their full and free participation in socialist class struggle.
