Further questions may be put forth if the effecting
incident, the imprisonment of the author, that caused the proceeding Clivus
Transactus Treatise and other case work on the CIP Archives, were spurned by
the controversial contents of the article below; previously composed in

exploration of certain areas under discussion are reasoned statements of
thought and critical thinking; more-so than any rhetorical positioning.
Suggestively, this article may be considered then, a premonition, the unseen

A QUESTION
PUT
By Gbujama
J.M.
Slave to what? - has always been the question, pondered
by free men and philosophers alike, if not in denial, then in tacit acceptance
of some degree of ambiguity towards the term. Perhaps, to production itself or
the generation of ideals that gives prompt to a perception of condition.
Definitively, this is clearly an esoteric modern perspective, not to understate
the organized nature of such a term, simply used to describe the direct sale of
beings in like regard of property. Even as defined in modernistic terms as: an uninformed
transaction of political and social freedoms; there are also
conflicts in power management and order that corrupt the lucidity of informed
forums and practice, thus disrupting the quaintness of modern civil discourse.
In this regard is the awakened parallelism with the
struggle of sadomasochism – those who derive pleasure from inflicting emotional
and physical pain on others, as having its own legal consequence and historical
origins in certain polities. Certainly, the imagery of slavery as a form of
bondage, does an injustice to its manifestation as a form of out-casting,
shunning, release or excommunication from any manner of obligatory factors;
whereby needless to express, that the most difficult achievement was the former
slave convincing others, that he was now a free man. This is much as would be difficult on the
same scale, whether existent, for any cry of wolf regarding the persistence of
modern-day Trans-Atlantic slavery to be believed. Currently, the most popular
forms of slavery argued are behavior oriented, shrouded in medical and
psychological professionalism, such as the term sex slave or drug
slave that focus on dependency and addiction, as opposed to issues of labor
and production.
There is also the
estimated premise of childhood and parenthood as a form of slavery, perhaps in
reference to the construction of self government gone too far; the idea that
there are no essential differences between beings in relation to natural laws,
nurture and growth. It is this process of accounting for what is the family or
whether or not such a consciousness exists, that introduced the hypothesis of
the family as not only a natural phenomenon - but also a possessive one.
Nonetheless, while it is not uncommon to see a villager sitting next to his
companion and children, it has been historically argued by early outside
researchers on culture, that lineage recognition is unacceptable. The
contention is, that the survival mechanism of particular groups as a response
to slavery; the defensive idea that family is only a lure of domesticated exploitees for traders - is used as a protective shield,
providing basis for the proposition that the family was the first form of
voluntary servitude. Another explanation is that slavery was conceived by the
notion of permanence. Thus man having gained some amount of routine to his
life, sought to enforce it upon others without necessarily conceptualizing his
communal state as being relevant to a transfer of ideals. Therefore, this
peculiar cultural, yet academically buttressed claim, contradicts Rousseau’s
classic contention that the family was the earliest slave form.
The question must be put forward; does this address the issue of
family as being a natural phenomenon if claims against early communities discount
the idea of lineage? Perhaps the distinction lies in the very ideas of
continuity and permanence- that the family gradually became a competitor of slavery and as such the
institution still stands caution as members who are subjected to the urgency of
the modern world in which we live and once again - enforced routine. However, in certain polities where so called
modern day slavery survives, it can be argued to be caused by an involuntary
yearning for power as well as a particular level of chaos – more so than
organized anarchism against authority and principles of government. Therefore,
it is distinguishing the reality of human connectivity, if so defined that is
the greater issue of distortion in relation to points of occurrence.
Such as; the argument that fire is a reaction, is in
itself an isolated statement in dissent of the sun star’s total element. In
exactitude, the statement is really made in reference to the character or
nature of fire being akin to anger – a desire burning in the blood and acting in
resentment at what is or is supposed to be a wrong to oneself or to another (Percival). This has often been the character portrayal
of the institution of slavery, manifested as rage against human connectivity
that is undesired. Institutionally however, in study, more emphasis is placed
on the production economics of the trade over the historical ethos and pathos;
and it is this trait that is the mutational divide of the institution between
those who deplore the connectivity and those who desire it. Additionally, the
term slavery in reference to justice is made in distinction of chains and
assumed social class; which is an argument for necessary bondage, with
the forgetfulness of a tendency leaning towards the aforementioned
sadomasochistic systems of behavior that develop, often connecting the being
with the emotional fire element. As result, is the offset of more sterile
approaches aided by computer and clinical accuracy, as argument towards
progress more so than heavy handedness towards human behavior.
Still, official systems have yet to address applications of resistance in
balancing social interests against that of inconsistencies in political
interest. Indeed, as unitary beings in vast systems of mortality, there is much
to contemplate in the mobilization of paramilitary interests; guns, fetters,
batons and electrocution; those means made envious of the safari hunter’s
sedation; given such incredulity need be organized - since even zoo animals are
not so administered in the capture.
