Northern Lonetrek Industrial Union
Stance Against Slavery.
____________________________________
Part of our stance of protecting the working class is fighting against slavery, whether that be in the form of Chattel slavery or Wage slavery. These means condemning all acts of such slavery, as well as actively fighting against and freeing those slaves. Therefore, to further this goal I myself have freed my parents former slaves, which were granted to me in their inheritance as their only child. I freed them, and my own followers throughout the Khanid, Aridia and regions have freed their own slaves. These men and women are those who shall be granted entrance to heaven, those who forcibly keep humans in the murderous and torturous practice of slavery are truly those who shall be damned to hell, with all of Gods wrath directed towards them, not those slaves freed early, who's souls and labor were not 'dedicated' to God.
I have freed close to 350,000 slaves throughout my days preaching in Amarrian and Khanid space, and they I offered each of them a choice. Travel with me and my comrades, preaching to others and helping their brothers and sisters still in slavery, or a place to live and work freely, without a boss or master to profit off of them. However, tragically my lands and titles have been stripped from me, as I was accused of heresy by the Theology Council, and in order to continue my promise to those slaves who wished to work and live a peaceful life, my comrades and I have recently appropriated an abandoned factory-city on Daras VII, which we are currently re-constructing and re-tooling to produce High-Tech materials which will eventually be for sale in worker-run markets in the Pietanen constellation. The ownership of the property will belong with the Union to avoid predation by capitalist interests, with no profit being derived from it. We will offer training to all former slaves, as well as any dissociated and others who are without a means of living in Caldari society.
We shall continue to agitate and organize throughout the area, helping any workers unionize and fight back against any threats they face by the corporations. We have also started an appropriation fund, which will allow the Union to purchase property that corporate entities do not wish to maintain themselves, but will not turn it over to the workers to whom it rightfully belongs. |

I find it amusing in the extreme how your organization seems so adept at 'appropriating' so many 'abandoned' things.
I myself appropriated some useful ship parts and salvage the other day, after their previous owner had abandoned them. It seems he was hurting for space in his capsule, and decided they were better left behind as he warped off.

Appropriation has a rather specific definition, especially among socialists, we don't use violence against the Mega-Corps when we take ownership over their properties, vandalism and destruction of property perhaps, but that's far from being violent action. Although in this case the property we appropriated was indeed abandoned, deemed unprofitable by it's former owners. |

Whether you believe in violence or not is irrelevant - capitalists most certainly believe in violence, especially against anyone they think is going to cut into their power profit margins.
In light of this fact the worst thing you could possibly do is be successful, because then more of the capitalist's workers would leave them to go join you, which would make them jealous, and it would not be long after that before they fabricated some sort of justification for trying to destroy you.
So I would advise maintaining an image of poverty & desolation, no matter how prosperous you actually become, so that they can continue to feel superior enough over you to not warrant military action.
