Dimitri and Khalid explore Gustavus Myers’ seminal 1910 work “History of the Great American Fortunes” and the political economy of the early American colonies, the Dutch patroon system, the symbiotic development of chattel slavery and WASP supremacy, legalized piracy, New England privateers turned shipping magnates, the betrayal of the Revolution and debasement of the workers, Silk Toppers criminalizing vagrancy and pauperism, John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company cheating and swindling its way to the top, the importance of elite intermarriage, and the inextricability of Northern merchant and Southern slaveowner wealth.

#73 - PIRATES OF THE CONSTITUTION: History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. 1

Approximately 400 years ago, in August 1619, enslaved Africans touched foot in the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States for the first time. The centuries since have seen the development of a racial system more violent, extractive, and deeply entrenched than any other in human history. Yet where there is oppression, there is also resistance. Since 1619, Black radicals and revolutionaries have taken bold collective action in pursuit of their freedom, threatening the fragile foundations of exploitation upon which the United States is built. These heroic struggles have won tremendous victories, but they have also produced martyrs—heroes who have been imprisoned and killed because of their efforts to transform society.

“Black August” is honored every year to commemorate the fallen freedom fighters of the Black Liberation Movement, to call for the release of political prisoners in the United States, to condemn the oppressive conditions of U.S. prisons, and to emphasize the continued importance of the Black Liberation struggle. Observers of Black August commit to higher levels of discipline throughout the month. This can include fasting from food and drink, frequent physical exercise and political study, and engagement in political struggle. In short, the principles of Black August are: “study, fast, train, fight.”

Week #6 of /r/songaweek - theme is "Rush". This one was rushed, as I wrote and recorded it in about 3 hours yesterday, then mixed it today. 

It's also, deliberately, really fast (for me) at 150bpm - maybe too fast? Certainly outside my comfort zone, the closest I've come to EDM. Perhaps I'm just getting old! I had to keep resisting the urge to slow it down.
