"The sin of slavery is one of which it may be said that without the shedding of blood there is no remission."


Abolitionism or Anti-Slavery is a non-quadrant political ideology that is against slavery. According to his philosophy, all people, regardless of their ethnic origin, are free and should not be at the mercy of other people.

History

WIP

Beliefs

Abolitionism, as already mentioned, opposes slavery and believes that it would be something inhuman, as it believes that humans are born free. It is culturally ambiguous, as there are as many conservative abolitionists as there are progressives, although most slave regimes are culturally reactionary. Most oppose colonialism and racism, because of slavery in the Americas and Africa, with many (especially in Latin America and Africa) associating abolitionism with anti-imperialism, although there is debate about this. Abolitionism was influenced by Enlightenment and Classic Liberal ideals (Adam Smith, John Locke (debated), James Garfield and others) and by some Judeo-Christian examples. Abolitionism is also economically neutral, as the only economic position in fact is opposition to the slave economy, which can range from socialist to capitalist.

Relationship with Christianity

There is debate regarding Christianity and slavery, as religious skeptics claim that Judeo-Christianity was used to justify slavery especially in the Middle Ages. While in fact various regimes used Christianity as a justification for slavery, it was the first religion to morally challenge the institution, and many abolitionists also had a Biblical basis, even if some opposed the clergy. Some examples in the history of Christianity that oppose slavery could be:

  • Moses freeing the Hebrew people
  • Deuteronomy 23:15-16
  • Isaiah 58:6-9
  • Quakers
  • Pope Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Pius IX, Gregory XVI and Leo XIII
  • John Brown and countless other examples

Variants

Left-Wing Abolitionism

Left-Wing Abolitionism is a variant that believes that capitalism would enable Modern Slavery/Neo-Slavery because of greed and capital accumulation. They usually preach something close to Democratic Socialism or Marxism-Leninism, with some Social Democrats. They believe in the abolition of the capitalist system that would generate "contract slavery" and socio-economic inequalities with racist content and that this would be used to exploit and oppress the working class. Some notable theorists might be Pranav Jani in "Colonialism, Slavery and the Origins of Capitalism" and Trish Hosein.

Right-Wing Abolitionism

Right-Wing Abolitionism is a variant of liberal or conservative ideals, believing that capitalism and the free market would be an essential basis for the abolition of slavery. Liberals believe that state interventionism in the economy and socialism would eventually breed slavery, with modern liberals using the Soviet Union and other communist countries as an example. Conservatives also have similar beliefs mentioned before, but combined with anti-revolutionism, tradition, nationalism and respect for religion (especially Christianity). Some notable theorists are: Adam Smith, James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Johnson and the popes mentioned above, as well as the Libertarian Party's 2006 LPRadicals caucus.

Islamic Abolitionism

Islamic Abolitionism is a strand that believes that Islam can be related to the anti-slavery struggle, entering into disagreement with both Islamophobes and Extremists/Jihadists. While there have been examples before, the most notable country to enforce anti-slavery was the Ottoman Empire, with dignitaries from relevant rites opposing slavery, such as those from the Hanafi and Maliki rites. They sparked arguments with some who considered it contradictory to the Qur'an and early Islamists, although they argue that slavery was temporary and would be largely illegal. Later, Tunisia banned slavery thanks to the reformists in 1846, setting an example in the Islamic world. Currently, several Islamic prophets oppose slavery, using interpretations of the Qur'an, such as the condemnation of anyone who enslaves a free man.

John Brown Thought

John Brown was a radical abolitionist who fought in Bleeding Kansas and led an unsuccessful slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry. Brown was raised in a Puritan family which would profoundly influence his views. He believed that God was using him to act as a new Moses who would lead another race of people out of bondage. Brown believed that violence was necessary to end slavery since decades of peace had failed. Brown was a leader of abolitionist forces in Bleeding Kansas, a state level civil war to determine whether Kansas would be a slave or free state. Brown and his sons killed five slavery supporters in the Pottawatomie massacre and would lead abolitionist forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.

In October 1859, Brown led a raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia hoping to start a slave rebellion that would engulf the entire South. The plan however was poorly executed leading to Brown's capture by Robert E. Lee. Brown was tried for treason and was executed by hanging. His actions were a huge contributing factor to the Civil War with Southerners viewing him as a madman and terrorist while Northerners viewed him as a martyr and hero.
