OMG, it was not state controlled! It was private companies and individuals. Yeesh. There was no State framework for slavery. Stop.
WTF is a "just economy'?

Their own tribal leaders did the initial selling of them. You have a group of people living on their native continent who know everything about their land and another group that has little or no knowledge of the same wanting to capture them to sell as slaves. Who do you think holds the advantage until their tribal leaders sell them out?
Slavery did not exist without state control and laws allowing it to exist.

It was the State that declared certain humans were just Farm Machinery, a means of production.
When did they do that?

It started pre history. Monarchy has been the default form of gov't since humans have existed.
LMAO! "Pre-history"...so it's not State-run or State-designated. In the case of the US, it was private enterprise.
Amazing that socialism started pre-history when Karl Marx wouldn't pop on the scene for tens of thousands of years.

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
In a true monarchy, the State owns everyone and everything, juts like in socialism.

Of course it's a State run system. No one in America volunteered to be a slave, unless you count indentured servitude.

Not true. A modern monarchy is usually a Communist government like the one in N. Korea. Cuba is another that comes close with Castro. Socialist economies can be democracies, but they don't last in the long run because eventually the money runs out and the public-at-large throws the Socialists out of office and switches back to a more Capitalist system.
Are you now referring to the U.S. Constitution that you claim to love?
Yes, it declared black people slaves, at the behest of southern planters who refused to enter the union unless the rest of the country codified their right to own people, and benefit from it politically.
That evil stays with us today, thanks to conservatives.

Communism is technically defined as Statelessness like Somalia had.
Countries that claim to be communist are still in their Socialist phase.
North Korea is the most Socialist country on the planet, today. And yes, it's practially identical to monarchy.

The Constitution was only (and largely incorrectly, to boot) lightly glossed over when I was in school (over 10 years ago). I wouldn't be surprised if most schools don't even bother with teaching it to their students anymore.
I've had to learn about A LOT of post-grade-school-level topics all on my own...

No, N. Korea is a feudal monarchy. The head of state is hereditary. There is an inner circle of what amounts to landed nobility. The rest of the country are landless merchants and peasants who owe fealty to the nobility and monarch.

The Constitution is not a slave document.
- Frederick Douglas
Can you Provide the quote from the U.S. Constitution that says that?

If true, Socialists are Right wing & Capitalists are Left wing.

That describes Socialism, except socialism doesn't have to be hereditary, though it can be..
